Tech Wishlist

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.

It'd be good for people who want to edit pages yet don't want to be spoiled.

EDIT: Maybe they're in the middle of a work they're troping? That's what I'd figure for such a scenario.

Speaking of edit reasons, how about making it so when you click "Preview", your edit reason is displayed at the top of the preview page? That way, if you're using potholes or other markup in your edit reason, you can make sure you didn't mess anything up.

Seriously, why are they at the bottom? And we know it's deliberate, because they used to be at the top.

Now we see a huge string of cuts and have to scroll all the way down the big edit to get to the reason, just WHY?

Yes. I hate having to scroll down through a large edit to get to the summary.

This wishlist query has been fulfilled. Check the Changelog or the Wiki Talk Changelog Thread for a full list of recent updates.

Please remember to like and bump any new or old wishlist queries you think deserve attention so i know what the community needs me to work on moving forward.
