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.
Make a Tech Wish:
openTheme Park Forums
I wish there was a place in the forums where I could talk about Amusement Parks and Theme Parks.
openInclude "reason" field in WikiWord edit requests
Too many times I've wanted to provide a reason for a Wiki Word title change, e.g. "punctuation" or "too often linked as Film/Spiderman2". This is especially important when two works share the same name but have differently punctuated titles, such as ComicBook.Zero Hour vs Film.Zero Hour - the displayed title has switched back and forth between 'Zero Hour' and 'Zero Hour!' over ten times in the past year. (At least 2.0 will fix the latter problem... when we finally get it done.)
Edited by RallyBot2openCopy-paste text format converter
It would be nice if there was a conversion tool that we could copy-paste a page's text into, and then with one click the software translates any hyperlinks, common font styles (boldface, italics, etc.), and such things into the TV Tropes format, instead of having to do them manually.
openMain redirect deliberate redlinks?
I've been cutting Main redirects lately, and I was wondering if it would be possible to make it so that if a page is linked to the Main namespace, but also exists in a different media namespace, to be a deliberate red link. The purpose of this would be to make finding wicks to Main redirects easier and to encourage the use of proper namespaces. Like:
- Sailor Moon is bluelinked.
- Sailor Moon is redlinked.
open"Number of tropers online" counter
We used to have a feature on the sidebar that told you how many tropers were currently online. What happened to it? Could we bring it back?
Admittedly, a more useful feature would be the ability to see whether or not a specific troper is online, although maybe that could be used for... something undesirable.
Edited by DrNoPumaopenNumber of posts per page
I would really like a feature to change the number of posts per page on forum threads. It would make it so much easier to find a specific post - you could just set the number of posts really high so you don't have to flip through as many pages, and use Ctrl+F.
openA new edit type, Small Changes to contrast with Large Changes
Can / will we get a new edit type, likely called "Small Changes" to contrast with Large Changes?
Like for things like typo fixes and other minor, things?
How big does a change have to be to be Large??
closed Sofia the first
I'm writting a fanfic crossover between sofia the first/winx club, i would like to read it here in tv tropes: http://temus.deviantart.com/gallery/59101277/the-wings-of-the-princess-fanfic
Edited by temusopenSearch by media type / namespace
When doing a Search, could results possibly be filtered by media type / which Namespace they are under? E.g. lately I searched for a Series called Sisters, and had to scroll through dozens of "Sister" Tropes (from the Main namespace) before finding it. Currently we are only able to sort according to either "Date" or "Relevance". It would be great if we could search for "Films", "Series", "Literature" etc. only.
Edited by LB7979openRearrange avatars in your gallery
I would really appreciate it if there was a way to drag and drop the avatars in your gallery to reorganize them.
Currently, the only way I can think of to reorganize avatars is to delete all of them and reupload them in the order you want, which would be incredibly tedious. Besides, if you do all that and then upload an avatar you would like near the beginning, you'd have to start all over again!
openThread merging
I've always thought it was weird that mods can't merge threads, instead of having to always lock duplicates. Pretty much every other site I've been on with forum section has this. Sometimes people just forget, but a good conversation ends up coming out of it anyway. So in some cases thread merging would be a better option.
Edited by xanderiskanderopenSearch Discarded TLP
Trope Launch Pad has a feature to search for TLP's that haven't been launched or discarded, which is nice... but I wish that it could be possible to have a search option for Discarded TLP. For Launched TLP it would be redundant, seeing as you can use the normal search bar, since they're just regular tropes. Discarded TLP would need this, though, so people could see which ideas are bad, and if someone already tried to do a TLP like they did and failed. Would such a feature be possible? Thank you.
Edited by PiterpicheropenRecent discussions link
I think I've asked for this before, but I think it would be useful to have a link to the recent discussions page somewhere on the sidebar. probably under the Tools menu. This way people can easily check if any new discussions involve a page they're interested in, and it will hopefully increase the number of people actually using those pages.
openArticle Header Link
I tried to make a link to a character within a characters article but there is no apparent feature allowing me to do so.
closed Disney paint war show 2010-2013
I watched some kind of a paint war show around 2011-2013.I am not completely sure if it was on Dinsey Channel or Cartoon Network. The show took place in a castle with defenders in strange costumes who never changed and attacker who were different every episode. One of defenders was dressed like a lizard and one other as a valkyrie, but there were around three more. Attackers had to climb walls while defenders split a lot of paint on them. I tried googling it but I am unlucky.Please help me guys!
closed New Trope
Can you guys please make a trope called "Is This a Jo Jo Reference?" There are many jojo references in other unrelated anime and manga, so the examples list would not be too short. Plus, with jojo becoming more popular, and the usage of the phrase, " is this a jojo reference," I feel it would be necessary...also it would be really cool to have a jojo specific trope here! Thank you for reading!
openNamespace List Automated Alphabetization
The Index of Indexes has an alphabetization feature that ignores "The." Would it be possible to make all the namespace lists (or at least the Recap/ list with it's 20,000+ entries)note number based on how many rows in Excel a copy-paste job takes up be alphabetized like this?
Edited by WaterBlapopenThe page buttons
Please put the buttons at the top of the page for YKTS, ATT, TF, and WL. As well as at the bottom. Makes for easier browsing.
Edited by Crocket_Lawnchairclosed Really Laggy Website Ad
I'm someone who's not that bothered by most website ads, which is why I'm not currently using an Ad Blocker, but is it possible to axe showing off the "Cliff Jumping / Zorbing / Diving With Sharks" ad? I've never seen an ad lag a website as much as this particular one.
Edited by Retloclive
I think that they're should be a page kind of like the "YKTSW" page, where people can ask specific questions about works. For instance, let's say I want to know how many incarnations of the Doctor there has been. That's a question that would go on this hypothetical page.
