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.
workingPM Block
I'm trying to block someone on PMs, but it's not working. They aren't being added to the PM Block list, and they are still able to send me PMs.

workingNamespaceless auto-disambig entry, for TransformersAlterVerse
There's a Namespaceless auto-disambig entry, for Transformers Alter Verse, just called "/TransformersAlterVerse".
Which also appears, in the "Other Namespaces" bar at the top, right before "Create New".

workingEdit crash
Hi there. I noticed when I was editing a crash on a couple pages. When I edited https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/TheLionGuardS2E23TheHyenaResistance when instead of saving as it usually does, it just gave me a blank screen, and I was forced to hit the save button again. I ask that the staff look into the matter.
workingForum Search Bar Bug
Is it me or is the forum search bar is kind of broken? Since everytime I type in some words, instead of directing me of said work, it ended up showing the new posts of the forums. This is when using the new search format btw.
Like for example of the problem: When I try to search the word "Gyokuro Shuzen" instead of directing me to the posts with said work, it instead direct me on the new posts of the forums.
So yeah... Is there something wrong with the search bar?
closed The cut list won't accept my request
I am attempting to make a request in the cut list for the removal of an article I posted in which the the namespace and work name were accidentally swapped. However when I press the button in the cut request, it is not added to the Cut List or anywhere else. It just seems to vanish.
EDIT: I resolved the problem. It turns out I was just filling out the form incorrectly.

workingBad link when making a thread
When making a forum thread, there's a link that says "Forum: Wiki and Forums"
As you can see, the link leads to http://localhost:8080/pmwiki/factivity2.php?forum=Wiki%20and%20Forums, which doesn't work. It should presumably link to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/topics.php instead.
closed Help with Red Links
I recently created the pages Awesome.Worm Grand Order and Recap.Fates Collide Ch 55 Self Destruction. Even though these pages have content, they still look like Red Links, so I can't Index them, and whenever I edit Self Destruction, I get a blank page and the url becomes https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/wysiwyg_source_editor_save.php, but whenever I go back to that page, my changes were indeed saved.
closed Help with redirect
I'm trying to turn Film.Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark into Film.Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark 2019, but the redirect isn't working when I follow the instructions. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug?
closed (Only some) images not showing up
Exactly that. It only happens on this website, so it's not a problem with my computer. It looks like this on mobile and like this on desktop. When I try to open the image itself, it says there's a 504 error, which means that the images aren't loading quickly enough.
closed Image Pickin' typo
When creating a new Image Pickin' or Trope Repair Shop conversation, the message says, "Things work a little differently in Image Pickin' and Troper Repair Shop.You can start a thread, but a moderator has to "open" it for discussion." It should be "Trope Repair Shop", not "Troper Repair Shop", and there should be a space after the first period.
closed Missing button on mobile
On mobile (Android), I'm missing a button that allows me to edit pages (or see page history, or go to discussion), view TLP pages besides the Launchpad proper (so I can't see launchs, discards or my history), or get to the Bug Report / Wishlist query pages. Oddest part is, just this morning when I looked (6:30-ish EST) the button was still there.
closed Mobile buttons missing
Three other people have already submitted complaints; I'm just adding to the pile so this gets fixed ASAP.
On the mobile site, several critical buttons are missing, like edit, view history, related tropes, the like.
closed Apparent hack, some idiot nabbed old passwords
Apparently, an old password that I've changed twice since I used it has been stolen in what I'm assuming is some sort of hack, and some idiot e-mailed me about it in an attempt to scare me.
I'm aware that what's below is certainly just a scam attempt based on whatever they stole from the hack (I've noticed that this is basically a giant copy-paste of what's evidently a pretty common text of such scams, and even if it wasn't, I am lacking several items that this idiot thinks I possess and don't - the fact that this was in my spam folder honestly tells you all you need to know), but all the same, try to find out what may have happened in the past. I have no idea when this hack might've taken place, though I'm pretty sure the information they took is really, really old, at least 6 or 7 years.
Keep an eye out for your security, both site operators and anyone reading.
"I am well aware [old password] is one of your passphrases. Lets get right to the purpose. Nobody has compensated me to check you. You may not know me and you're most likely wondering why you are getting this mail?
Well, i placed a malware on the xxx videos (porn) site and guess what, you visited this site to have fun (you know what i mean). When you were watching videos, your browser initiated functioning as a RDP with a keylogger which provided me with access to your display screen and also web cam. immediately after that, my software program obtained your complete contacts from your Messenger, social networks, as well as e-mailaccount. and then i created a video. First part displays the video you were watching (you have a fine taste rofl), and 2nd part shows the view of your cam, yea its u.
There are two alternatives. We will check out each one of these choices in aspects:
Very first solution is to dismiss this email. in such a case, i will send your videotape to every bit of your personal contacts and then think regarding the humiliation yo u will see. Do not forget should you be in a romance, how it will certainly affect?
Next alternative is to give me USD 999. Lets regard it as a donation. Then, i will immediately remove your video. You will go forward everyday life like this never happened and you will never hear back again from me.
You will make the payment by Bitcoin (if you don't know this, search 'how to buy bitcoin' in Google search engine).
BTC address to send to: [I'm not copying this part]
[Ca Se-sensitive copy and paste it]
if you are thinking of going to the police, surely, this e-mail cannot be traced back to me. I have covered my moves. i am not attempting to ask you for money a lot, i just want to be paid for. unique if i do not get the bitcoin, i will certainly send out your video to all of your contacts including family members, co-workers, and so on. However, if i receive the payment, i will destroy the video right away. If you want to have proof, reply Yup! then i will send your video to your 5 contacts. This is a non:negotiable offer and thus please do not waste mine time and yours by replying to this email."
closedMobile buttons missing
Like many people, I use the mobile version of Tv Tropes. The button that allows you to edit, see page history and discussions, etc is missing. Please fix as soon as possible.
workingRandom Image Cropping
Sometimes when you upload an image it will be cropped by one pixel on at least one of its edges.
Examples:
- Page Image◊ for Stargate Universe (Source image was 350px wide, uploaded at 349px)
- Page Image◊ for Armageddon (Source image was 350x525px, uploaded at 349x524px)
- Page Image◊ for Evil Makeover (Source image was 269x258px, uploaded at 268x257px)
- Page Image◊ for Transformers (Source image was 405x100px,note uploaded at 350x86px when it should've been 350x87px)
Now for some images this isn't that big of a deal. It's virtually unnoticeable in images like the ones for Armageddon and SGU, but it's very noticeable in others like the Princess Peach and Transformers images, since those have rounded edges that have obviously been cut off.
It seems to be completely random which images get affected, but it also seems to be happening more and more lately. At least half of all the images I upload get cropped like this. It's really annoying. Reuploading the images doesn't fix the issue, evilpeach.png
◊ (the original) and evilpeach2.png
◊ (the reupload) are both missing the exact same rows of pixels.
This bug was reported at least once before, nearly two years ago, but it was closed without even so much as a comment from the staff.
workingI'm not able to see the button which allows you to go to edit
I'm not able to see the button which allows you to edit for some reason. It's not coming up for me?
An example being here https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/DragonBallSuperBroly
workingNo action button on mobile
The action button that brings up the drop-down menu to let me edit, view history and related pages, etc. has suddenly disappeared on the mobile site.
closedNeed to log in to see source?
Why do you now need to log in to see the page source? You never had to before, and I don't see the point of it.
workingCrowner issues
So far, here's what's going on with crowners now that they're active again:
- The vote totals in the top left corner of options are either not calculating at all, or are not calculating properly. See here and here for examples.
- Crowner options are not sorting properly since the vote totals are broken.
- Some vote ratios may not calculate properly. This also may be tied to the aforementioned vote totals bug.
- Potholed links in crowner options are broken due to an extra / at the end of the link and part of the URL being placed in extra single quotation marks. In the first link above, place the cursor over one of the broken image links and note how it shows in the browser.
- EDIT: Discovered that opening the edit function on crowner options and clicking Update without changing anything fixes this issue...this will work until the next actual fix comes through.
- Design request: The history icon should be moved up to the same line as the edit icon and the voting buttons to cut down on dead space.
- Mod-only: On the crowner creation screen, selecting which forum the crowner is going to be created in still doesn't generate a list of previously created crowners in that forum like it used to.
- 1/27/19 UPDATE: Crowners are not allowing options to be added at all.
Please report other crowner issues as they're observed.

workingHTTP 500 error on save
I'm getting this error every time I save an edit today. Despite this, the actual edit went through just fine every time.
This thread
was closed as resolved, but it's still happening. Still the case in both Chrome and Firefox and after clearing cache/cookies.
Edit: And for some reason, when I type a backslash on the Bugs board, it doesn't appear at all. There should be one in front of each of these: ' and ".
