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.
There is. Click the thumbs up button on the draft's listing from the main page of TLP. (You have to refresh to see it take effect.) Then at the top of the page, next to "Sort by", select the thumbs up filter instead of "All".

No, I'm talking about a dedicated page for tracking them collectively, like the dedicated pages for forum threads and other pages tropers are following.
There is a dedicated page. Any drafts you've followed using the thumbs up button will show up here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/tlp_activity.php?filter=flagged
I'm talking about a regular follow, where you can just hit a follow button and keep track of pages you follow on a page full of them without having to like them.
The thumbs up button is a follow button. It's not a like button, despite what it looks like. Hitting that button only adds it to your following list, it doesn't "like" it. The icon is just a poor design choice. It actually used to be a star.
I guess that's tonight's entry in the "it could be worse" file, but it's something to rectify to be sure.
Oh yeah, it's totally unintuitive.
You're right, it is not intuitive at all. I've complained before about how the "thumbs up" icon (formerly a star icon) should be an eyeball instead.
There should be a way to follow proposals in the Trope Launch Pad, the way it's possible to follow launched pages and forum threads.
