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.
My only complaint about the history section is when sub-bullets are edited and I cannot see which trope they belong to.
I'd like to see it more like the way MediaWiki does page history, though I assume storing each version as a separate page hasn't been done for server space reasons.
I would at least like it if we could have the option to see where a particular edit was made, because eroock is right, and it's a very annoying thing to have to check back and forth multiple times to see where a specific change was made (such as to see if a troper added improper indentation or not).
Current Project: Incorruptible Pure Pureness
Repairing the "context" page (and the lack of context link on added lines) would be a big step forward.
"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."
The "History" page is quite lacking compared to other wikis, and it takes away a lot of the value of having such a feature. A majority of edits on tropes are adding or expanding examples, and this can easily bury a change you're looking for.
Some features that are noticeably missing:
