Go To

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.

Make Private (For security bugs or stuff only for moderators)

I could see that being abused, but maybe if there were a way to hide the post from everyone but the mods (including ourselves?) that could do just as nicely. This way though nobody could try to hide problematic posts they make, because the Mods would always see them.

It would also be useful for the tripe finder and yttsw in case of threads/posts where the answer was already found.

^ That's not cool when I later want to refer to that thread for a similar request. I'd rather have a "Solved" flag here.

Yeah a solved flag could be better. Would the default view include the solved ones or would that be a separate category?

Perhaps they can add a new filter dropdown to the header section of Trope Finder.

I ran into same problem, wanting to delete my mistake on Trope Finder. I couldn't delete it, but I could click the checkbox to mark it "Private", so no one else could see it. I right-clicked "Edit", and I could change the text I guess. But I clicked the Private checkbox instead.
