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.
Well, for YMMV tropes that only stick In-Universe, I was thinking of a banner like this:
"This is based on opinion. Please don't list it on a work's trope example list, unless it occurs In-Universe."
Why not change the YMMV banner on all YMMV pages to "This is based on opinion. Please don't list it on a work's trope example list unless it occurs In-Universe."? Most, if not all, YMMV items have potential for in-universe use even if it's rare.
I also propose a banner for In-Universe Examples Only tropes. Just have it say "This trope is In-Universe only. It is only to be listed when the reactions are from the characters or narration, not the viewers."
The YMMV banner "This is based on opinion. Please don't list it on a work's trope example list." appears on certain trope pages that do allow in-universe examples, like True Art Is Angsty and Moral Event Horizon. Maybe we could get a different banner for those crossover tropes? On a similar note, Doing It for the Art has the same issue, crossing over between in-universe example and Trivia.
