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.
Agreed. Correcting misspellings (suh as the word nickel in the SpongeBob SquarePants example for Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!) shouldn't be bureaucratic. Some videos, such as the one for BusCrash, also have misspelled or misidentified sources, which should probably also be editable.
Edited by LaundryPizza03 I'm back!I also think we can edit the video source if the video has no source or is incorrect.
And of course, there should NOT be a feature that allows us to just remove other peoples' videos all willy-nilly even if they don't match the trope, just saying...
I have things to do and daddy issues to repress!What about moving videos off of tropes they aren't examples of and onto tropes they are examples of? E.g. there's a Spongebob video on Brown Note that should be on Suckiness Is Painful instead. If the video goes elsewhere, would the computer code still count that as removal?
If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.
Right now, if you see a video with an error in its title or description, you have to go to the video maintenance thread and ask a mod to change it, which is inconvenient since often, these changes are very small.
I thought this was a wiki, and the entire point of wikis is that if you see something incorrect, you can change it yourself. I don't see why changing text in a video's description should be any different from changing text anywhere else on the site.
