As your friendly neighborhood Admin Team, the gang here at TVTropes HQ is always working to improve the site.
Many of those improvements begin with suggestions posted right here, on the Community Wishlist. Is there a feature you really want on TVTropes? Post it.
Is there something we could be doing better? We want to know. Do you think we look fat in these pants? We were totally afraid of that. See a bug? Report it.
Important things to know:
- We're all about that content-creation life! The top contenders for our attention are ideas that'll create more content, like the video uploading feature, or speed up launching new pages. On the flip side, design or layout tweaks won't be our top priority.
- Help us dig through the goldmine of old wishlist items! If you have an old request gathering dust or spot one you're totally on board with, give it a bump and a like. There's a treasure trove of 6+ years' worth of ideas just waiting to be rediscovered. Items without enough love may not make the cut and will be closed.
- Was your wishlist item locked up without an explanation? It was most likely disapproved or just too big of a task versus the benefit it would ultimately have. Time is precious, and we want to focus on updates with the biggest bang for the buck. Don't be discouraged though! We appreciate every idea and we're always listening.
We are trying...
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
That link has been migrated, for whatever reason, into the mod tools box in the sidebar. We've made the admins aware that this needs to go back on the page proper, but who knows if/when it'll happen.
At some point after the update, tropes with TRS threads open started getting the link embedded on the discussion page. That's gone too now.
"It's just a show; I should really just relax"
Before the update, wiki pages that had active Trope Repair Shop or Image Pickin' discussions on them would have a flag at the top with an icon and link to the forum thread in question. This was helpful for navigating back and forth between the two and for getting wiki readers involved in the forums/trope repair (it's how I got involved in the forums). It also seems like it might prevent people from uploading their own images while an image thread is going on, or from posting redundant Trope Talk/ATT comments about tropes with issues. These disappeared in the June update; are there any plans to bring them back?
