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.
openTrivia warnings on work pages
On work pages, potholes to trivia have a warning saying that they should be moved to the trivia subpage. What Goes Where on the Wiki says that trivia can be potholed to on work pages, so this is warning about something that shouldn't be an issue.
open"This handle is already in use" even though it isn't
(user name, unable to create new account)
I tried to create a new account to change my user name, but it just doesn't work, even with a random string of characters as the user name.

openStock poses images out of order
On the Stock Poses page, the illustrations for everything between Dynamic Akimbo and Levitating Lotus Position are scrambled up out of order.
I thought someone might have just messed up the table, but when I went to fix it, I discovered the images somehow seem to have gotten their names rearranged- that is, the one for Finger Wag has the name that belongs to the one for Face Palm, and so on. Unless there's some bizarre cache thing going on here, I'm guessing a mass image reformatting went horribly awry?

openDiscord link previews can reveal spoilers if the page starts with spoilers.
Discovered this while sending this link using discord: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/WMG/Warframe
It starts with loads of spoilers in the very first sentence, posting this link to discord will show the full text to everyone reading the link preview.
openBroken labelnote?
I noticed a pretty big issue when it comes to some links. Namely on here. See, I'd decided to post the character images from the older Super Smash Bros. games, and everything's going okay so far, right? Then we get to one in particular.
Here's Corrin's for a quick comparison.
Everything works like it should. All organized and everything, right? Even with multiple portraits.
But then we get to Ryu.
Is there something I'm missing? Like, what did I forget here? I checked, and everything looks the same. But Ryu won't stay in the labelnote at all. I have to be doing something wrong, but I'm not sure, which is why I'm posting it here instead.
Nevermind, I somehow fixed the issue.

closed Locked page
Film.The Hunt For Red October is locked. Please unlock.
openCan't edit posts on discussion pages
Problem is in the headline. The edit window surely opens up, but it won't save the changes I made on my posts on discussion sites. Anybody else having this problem?
closed Page is locked.
Dragon Ball Super (2018) is locked for no reason. I believe is a bug.
openLine return for external links
Okay, minor thing, but when an external link encases several words, those are pulled all together on the next line if they reach the end of a line, instead of breaking as usual on a space.
openNumbered Lists Bug
Numbered lists are only displaying the first digit when the brewers window is small, and only the "." part on mobile depending.
openIt's possible to bypass locked pages and edit them (or enter the editor, at least)
All I have to do is to manually type in the address https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wysiwyg_source_editor.php?groupname=EXAMPLE&title=EXAMPLE&load=source and replace EXAMPLE with the address to a locked page and I can enter the editor. I don't know if you can actually change something and save it (obviously I'm not trying), but this should be looked into.
openCan't send notification
Whatever notification I choose, the preview message only show the thank message.
I test by send an "edit reason" notification to myself, and it's indeed just a thank message.
openSuperfluous reCaptcha failure during signup
As I was setting up this account, I got the "click here to prove you're not a robot" prompt. I clicked it, a green check appeared, everything was right with the world... until I hit the signup button and was informed that the reCaptcha text wasn't correct.
Erm...
Reloading the page got me past the issue, so it's not the end of the world.
openSearch icon not offset correctly
In Firefox at least, the search icon in the search bars for the forum, Trope Finder, YKTS, etc. is improperly offset. It should be completely within the search bar, but it's too low.
From a little testing, margin-top needs to be set to -40px for Firefox browsers instead of the -33px it's currently set to.
edit: Tested in Chrome and it also exhibits this behavior. The same margin-top value of -40px works to correct the problem.

closed Locked page
Characters.Im Great Priest Imhotep is locked and has remained so long enough that it's certainly a bug.
closed Media by country not indexed
I noticed none of the media by country pages are indexed. They appear in the main page, but the subpages don't appear indexed at all.

closed Editing reason saved but not the edit itself
Basically I was making corrections to this page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/MarvelVsCapcomInfiniteCapcom
And it saved my editing reason but not the edit itself: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Characters.MarvelVsCapcomInfiniteCapcom
To be honest I'm not sure if this is a bug or not.

closed Uneditable
I tried to edit Dystopia Justifies the Means, but it's giving the can't edit pages with the markup. When removing a violation of No Real Life Examples, Please! from Then Let Me Be Evil, I saw it had it's markup was removed, should it have been?
Should we keep, add, or remove until this bug is resolved? Can a mod do the edit to Dystopia Justifies the Means (remove the spoiled out name in the page quote since it's against policy to have spoilers in them)?

closed Title Search used to work, now it don't.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/title_search.php, I remember when that was just a link I could click anytime I hit the "Tools" Resources drop down menu and before that I remember it being visible on every page. Anyway, having to manually type/paste the link isn't what bugs me so much as that it's now not only invisible but recently(as of this post) has stopped working entirely.
If someone could at least get it to give search results again, that would be very appreciated.
closed Redirect not working.
Not sure if this is related to the 1.8 update, but when I tried to redirect Gravity Falls S 2 E 4 The Sock Opera to the correct title (Gravity Falls S 2 E 4 Sock Opera), the redirect didn't work.
A bug that's still lingering since the previous version: the page type of newly created Creator pages is still "a work" by default, "instead of "a creator or person".
