Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Wishlist.
openwhen labelnotes have same content on a page, the first one will be opened.
I edited to fix it here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Franchise.DeusExUniverse#edit33544394
But I noticed on the Deus Ex Universe page, when you click on a labelnote, if there is another one with the same content as above...it will open that one.
An easy workaround is to add a space or something.
I did this on Firefox version 101.0.1 on macOS 12.3.

openNo Notifiers
For some reason, I don't always get a notifier for when someone sends me a message.
EDIT: I gave this a better title, mainly.

openAscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence - "This site can’t be reached The connection was reset."
When I try to go to the page for Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, it initially tripped my antivirus (Avast) with a Phishing Attempt, and now any attempts to go there give me the error: "This site can’t be reached The connection was reset."
It is only this page so far.
openLogging in on desktop logged me out on mobile and I can't log back in
no idea what's causing this... i logged in on desktop to post my segment for Trope Report, and when i went back to my phone, i had been logged out, and i can't log back in. it loops me back to the login page. going to try logging out on desktop now and see if that fixes it, will report back.
e: logging out on desktop did not fix it. i just can't login on mobile at all now.
e2: clearing my mobile browser's cache did not fix it either, nor did clearing my cookies.

openMissing page
The page "Fanfic.Address Unknown" has apparently gone AWOL. It isn't marked as deleted, just "Inexact title. See the list below. We don't have an article named Fanfic / Address Unknown, exactly. We do have:", indicating that it never existed... except I know it existed, because it's shown up cached on Google, and several subpages still exist for it.
Can someone fix this issue?
Until next time...
Anon e Mouse Jr.
Edit: ...Well, turns out it was moved to "Fanfic.Address Unknown Remedy". But I'm still not sure why the old page is showing as if it never existed. Also, if someone can move the subpages...

openRelatedPages of pages that don't exist are returning 404
Related Pages of pages that don't exist are returning 404, even though there are wicks.
For example Film.The Illusionist.

I'll have to change my wick analysis assistant program to account for this... Ah well.

Explosive Barrels for instance...

See how there's no Explosive Barrels here:

Is there a fast way to make fix the page types beyond just manually going through every Trope page?
openCan't Edit A Recap Page
I was on the recap page for Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, trying to edit the entry for the second episode, "Monsters, Get Real/Snorched if You Do, Snorched if You Don't". When I clicked the button to finish, the page acted as if I had not even written anything, but on the recap page the link to the episode changed from a red link to a blue link. I tried to post my edits again and again, but the page refused to register my edits. Did I do something wrong or is there a glitch in the system?
openTrope page Access issues
Recently I've been having problems trying to access the page for Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence because my antivirus keeps blocking the connection with the warning of "URL:Phishing". But what's weird is that this is the only page on the entire site that it does that for, and I'm not sure if it's just my antivirus making a false positive or is there is something going on with that specific page itself.
openFolder control does not appear properly in the trope launch pad
I added a folder control to this trope in the Launch Pad, however, the folder control does not appear to load properly, rendering as italicised text.
It works fine if tapped/clicked, and the function does not appear changed. It's just the visual that seems broken.
openProblem with the header
The TV Tropes logo and the "Random Trope" and "Random Work" buttons are missing.
openAvast Antivirus thinks that "Foil" is infected with URL:Phishing.
When I try to got the page Foil, my antivirus tells me that it's infected with Phising and blocks the connection.
This might be a false positive, but nonetheless seems like a problem.
openWhat can we learn about pages that don't show their redirect status?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Main.CivilianVillain
Is a redirect to Falsely Reformed Villain, but it's not presenting as such on its related pages. Not fixing it yet, because it might be a chance to learn more about the condition?
Perhaps we should lock it for study? Or should we just fix it?
openForum Title Bug
Yiptap has an unusually large font in their forum title, which is breaking the format of the forums for me. Their title forces the sidebar and the advertisements to the bottom of the page. I am unsure how they made the title so large, but has anyone else seen this kind of bug before?
openComments + Bulleted Lists = The bullets are on the wrong level
There is a bug in markdown rendering when combining Comments and Bulleted Lists. Write:
* The trope. ** An instance of the trope. %%*** A not important addition to the above instance. ** Another instance of the trope but on the third level, for some reason... ** Still on the third level...
And you'll get:
- The trope.
- An instance of the trope.
- Another instance of the trope but on the third level, for some reason...
- Still on the third level...
openForum pings don't work if there's a comma after them.
~Troper Handlewill correctly ping the troper named "Troper Handle", but
~/@Troper Handle, who lives in cave and edits 10,000 examples per daywill fail, trying to ping "Troper Handle,".
(It's only a problem when using WikiWords; the curly bracket markup somehow accidentally bypasses the issue.)

Like how page 27 contains the start and a substantial portion of page 28?
openRandom page buttons on mobile.
On mobile, the random buttons are stacked instead of being side to side, even blocking a bit of the logo. On the home page, only the Random Trope button is showing, and the avatar isn't showing either.

openvideo examples player forum markup doesn't work
The list of markup that's shown underneath when writing a forum post includes this at the end:
Video Examples:
[[video_examples]] (displays the video examples player)
but the markup doesn't work.
Simply, when I try to put the "Kyle Rayner has a poison dick" explanation in labelnotes, it doesn't work, no matter what i do. I have screenshots, should you want them.
