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 Tech Wishlist.
NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.

openLong page title bug
In the Namespace Index pages, I've found some pages that apparently exceeded the title character limit when someone tried to make them. Following the links leads to a "We don't have an article named..." placeholder, but they're still listed as existing pages in the Namespace Index pages.
Some examples:
Sekkaku Cheat Wo Moratte Isekai Ni Teni Shita N Dakara Suki Na You Ni Ikitemit
Sexiled My Sexist Party Leader Kicked Me Out So I Teamed Up With A Mythical Sor
I Became The Strongest With The Failure Frame Abnormal State Skill As I Devas
Im A Behemoth An S Ranked Monster But Mistaken For A Cat I Live As An Elf Girls Pe
Garbage Brave Revenge Story Of The Hero Who Was Thrown Away After Being Summo
Trapped In My Own Shitty Light Novel After Killing Myself So I Might As Well Co
The above pages don't exist, but are listed in the Light Novel Namespace Index here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=LightNovel
I assume these pages are using up memory in a database somewhere since the Namespace Index lists them, but if there's no way to read the page contents, it's probably better to remove them and prevent new ones from being created.
Edited by foleyopenWeird trope title glitch?
With tropes like Rogue Angles Of Satin and Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?, the lowercase words attach themselves to other words, or it creates a redlink.
openGrammar Notifier
Please replace the broken link in the Grammar notifier with the following link to the "Get Help with English" Thread.
I am told that this requires admin level intervention.
openCan't save edits to page
Each time I hit save after editing X Com Chimera Squad I'm getting a gateway time out with a Cloudflare error that says the problem is with TV Tropes.
Edited by GhilzopenRedirected to Trope Finder.
For some reason, doing these steps:
- Searching ATT reports by term
- Hitting "back"
- Refreshing on the "confirm" white page
Sends me to the front of Trope Finder. Strange, since you'd think it'd send me to ATT...
workingMark all as read
The mark all as read function still isn't working. When done on an individual subforum, it goes through as if it worked, but actually doesn't. And when done on a whole section or all forums at once, it spits out a generic error message.
openMultiple-Line Captions broken on TLP
As seen here, the caption is supposed to render as:
But instead is rendering as:
[[caption-width-right:302:Left: Aerith in a cutscene. Right: Aerith's actual in-game model.]]
EDIT: Welp, it's happening here too, I guess!
Edited by PrimisopenLinks broken in Messages
I sent a standard Namespace message through the Issue Helper and both links led to a 404 page, with extra "https://tvtropes.org/%22" at the beginning and formatting messing them up
Looking through past messages, it is effecting previous messages
This is a big problem since it stops helping newbies
Edited by jormis29openDrafts for forums posts
I'm active in the Magnificent Bastard Cleanup thread. I am currently typing up an effortpost and it got a bit wordy. I pressed save my draft, and when I came back it hadn't saved my draft. Luckily I backed it up in a word file, but others might not be so lucky.
openPicture on the front page
A minor bug, no doubt, but on the front page the "Newest Trope" and "Today's Featured Trope" will display a picture... even if said picture had been removed from the page following an Image Pickin' discussion.
openPage disappeared the moment I hit "submit"?
I'm working on the recap pages of Peeking Through the Fourth Wall and Pound and Pumpkin Cake's Adventures (and Misadventures) in Potty Training, but when I typed up the recap page for the first chapter of the latter, the moment I hit submit, it was like I hadn't done anything, it was just "We don't have a page called...". What gives?
openQuotes glitching in search
Today I've noticed that most of the time when you do a search with quotes in it (which normally is a search for that exact phrase), it will glitch out and turn the quote symbols into %22 instead. And then the search returns no results because nothing on the wiki uses %22sample quote%22 for anything.
And this is the standard search, to be clear, not the new search. On Firefox, most recent version.
openIndexing
On the Recap page Fate Grand Order Limited Time Events, the chapters won't index for some reason. Can someone please fix this?
openProposed Trope Description Doesn’t Appeared
I was proposing “Nerdy Swirl Glasses” in Trope Launcher, someone vote “discard” on my proposed trope because there’s no description on the proposed trope.
That’s strange, because I already typed my descriptions, and I saw it was there after pressing “edit” button.
Please fix this.
Here’s the evidence: https://youtu.be/FxTHOB8CrMA
Edited by MinoricaopenCan't create more recap pages for Maho Girls Precure episodes
So, I'm having a weird issue where I'm trying to make more episode recap pages for Maho Girls Precure, yet when I try to save my changes, it doesn't work. I can edit the existing pages just fine, and I managed to create a new page for a Suite Pretty Cure episode, so I'm not entirely sure why this isn't working. It was working just fine a few days ago.
openRemoved trope image still showing up on frontpage
Today's Featured Trope is Absent Animal Companion, which currently has no image. It formerly had an image that was removed for being Just a Face and a Caption, but it still shows up on the front page.
closed Crowners borked. Again.
Every single crowner appears to have had all of their options replaced with:
The My Little Pony Equestria Girls index page is not having any links on the example pages! (Take A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil for example)
