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.
I suggested the Sandbox as well; that is distinct from a troper page. A sandbox is basically your own space to fill and edit as you need. While I think this could be a good idea, you can also make your list manually for now.
Exactly! This would be incredibly beneficial
Hello! I am somewhat new here and I have had a great time finding tropes that I am interested in. I've added dozens of them to my following list, until I realized that it was more for keeping track of edits than it was for personal interest.
The BROWSE page allows for quite a few filters in 3 sections. However, there is no option to filter a USER's FOLLOWED TROPES. Why is this so difficult on such a wonderful site?
Instead, the FOLLOWING page is filtered in list form (NOT GALLERY) and is dependent upon any random person who edits it. This has made it difficult for me to keep track of anything I wanted to come back to because I had no idea I had no control over what I was following. Less relevant tropes fall out of favor.
It was suggested that I make a tropers page for myself so I can add a list to my profile and that just seems out of the question for two reasons: 1. I just got here and this is more of a feature for users who are editing and making pages 2. From what I have seen this is not at all what I am asking for, since it seems to be more of a short-list for what people have accomplished on the site rather than a favorites list...
I would love to have the ability to either have additional filtering for my following page, or the BROWSE page with the check box [ ] "USER'S FOLLOWED TROPES" in order to pay attention to what I have gathered without the need to worry about edit history.
Or, if it is at all possible to implement a <3 (heart) feature to separate work form personal interest, that would be awesome.
This has got to be something that others have wanted, right? Even for major trope editors, the ability to have a separate filtering would always be beneficial.
I know it takes a lot to run a site, so I completely understand how this may be an impossible feature. However, with the Browse page having so many filters, I think one additional one would be perfect.
(Please let me know if I am misunderstanding the site's features, as I have asked these questions before and was suggested to post this in the wishlist)
