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.

Yeah, I was wondering why it's still on the dropdown list.

The options need to be updated in general, since the moments aren't available and that confuses a lot of people.

We can't remove a namespace, technically, but we could remove it from the list.

There are no "options", what you use as a namespace is arbitrary and can be anything.

If you mean in "Create New" dropdown, yes it should be removed.

Okay so just remove the "synopsis" option from the "create new" dropdown for Tropes and Media?

Are there any other things on those drop down menus that need to be removed or changed?

I think it should be copying those listed at Namespace as "subpage" and "moments" (those specifically often get questions why aren't they listed as options).

Ah, i see all the ones from "subpage" are on the dropdown menu but none from "moments". So Awesome, Funny, Heartwarming, Nightmare Fuel, Shocking and Tear Jerker should all be on those dropdown menus?

I think so. We have a rule that "moments" (Except Shocking, and I'm still waiting for a response about how to treat it) default to go on a separate page, so often there are questions how to do that because these aren't in the quick list.

Updating the create new dropdown right now. Do you guys know if any of these other fields need to be filled in for the new "moments" i'll be adding as subpages? https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screen_shot_2023_06_01_at_42507_pm.png

Personally, I think having a synopsis page is helpful for some tropes to provide deeper analysis than can't fit on the main description.
