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:
closed Option to save settings Display Options
- Unfortunately it's like this: you enter the options window, choose the items that will appear on the display and that's it, but it's not. The options are not saved and you have to click all the buttons again after logging out.
- I think it's high time these options could be saved permanently by troper instead of having to configure everything again.
closed Adding Webcomic to the New Edits list
It would make them easier to search, especially in the filter.
closed Font/color changs on subpages
I'm not sure I like the fonts and header colors on subpages, such as Nightmare Fuel or YMMV. it's really distracting, especially in a page history.
closed Here’s hoping for a update feature.
This could be something minor, but I would really appreciate a feature that lets us alert fellow tropers when a tv tropes page needs an update. Particularly for fanfic pages that haven’t been updated in a while or for other canon series that have yet to be updated with the new information revealed.
closed Move start new discussion to the top
Self-explanatory. Discussion tabs are sorted from the latest, so the "Start New Discussion" button should be at the top.
Also, it would help to visually make it distinct from the "Add Reply" button, maybe add a border around each discussion chain and move "Reply" button to the right while the "New" button is to the left, because it's very easy to confuse the two.
closed Preview for Forum Edits
Wouldn't mind having the ability to preview edits made to a pre-existing post, as well as Save draft.
closed More Colors for Forum Text
I would appreciate if we could potentially get more colours for the TV Tropes forums, as I feel the the current line up is limited. Maybe, we could potentially use some kind of hex code system, where we put in a hex code, and the text will be of that colour.
closed Single and double air quotes should be distinguishable
I noticed in the edit window of the new design, one cannot tell the difference between a quotation mark and two single quotes. So '' and " looks almost the same which leads to confusion when formatting quotes. This was working better in the old style so I would request reverting that format change.
Edited by eroockclosed If a TRS thread has multiple crowners, list links to the crowners at the bottom.
Because honestly the crowner index is a chore to search through.
Edit: Oh wait my wish is being misread. I meant a way to list the past crowners of a TRS thread. Thanks for the correction Amonimus.
Edited by AudioSpeaks2closed A way to take care of circular links
It would be a while before we could do this, maybe in a future site update, but I thought it'd be nice if whenever someone linked to the article within the article, instead of reloading the page when you clicked on the link, it would take you to the administrivia page.
It would take a talented programmer to pull this off, but still.
closed Mobile site scrolling header
Hi, could you put in a way to turn off the scrolling header in mobile, I'm visually impared, so I tend to zoom in on my phone a lot, and the scrolling header makes it kinda annoying.
closed RSS Watchlist Feeds
Would it be possible for the tv tropes / thread watchlists to have RSS feeds so one could easily check to see when and edit/post/discussion post has been made?
closed Deprecated Name Redirect Highlight
When you scroll down to see the redirect(s) of a trope, it's not immediately clear whether that redirect is another valid redirect like how Contralto of Strength is to Baritone of Strength. Or if its a deprecated name that shouldn't be used like how Spikeification is the former name of Badass Decay.
I think it would be nice to have a visual indicator for when a certain redirect is supposed to be a deprecated name. Maybe make it a different color, like orange. Also have the indicator at the redirect list at bottom of the page.
To apply this to a page, maybe all you need to do is put an affix before or after redirect. Something like: [[redirect:deprecated:TargetPage]] or [[deprecated:redirect:TargetPage]].
Edited by AudioSpeaks2closed Genre page type
Not namespace, but page type (i.e., that thing on the right). This would be to better differentiate genre pages from indices and trope pages, as they are typically a hybrid of the two.
closed A Cutlist for images. You need to wait for approval and state your reasons for deletion clearly.
Well, first I'd suggest you'd fix the algorithm that detects whether an image if used in an article of not, because it seems to not work if the images are in a folder. But anyways.
I'd like a way to delete inappropriate, strangely formatted, low quality, duplicate, or simply "unused for very long" images. The image must not be used in any articles, and also discussions/forums before it can be deleted.
closed Indexes textfield in the Trope Launch Pad
A minor but helpful request in the TLP would be a place to store the list of potential indices for a new trope.
It would be similar to the Laconic text field. In this case however, this field will usually be a list. You can display this list at the bottom of the trope draft either vertically or horizontally.
This would be useful in that you don't have to worry about accidentally including the index list once launching the trope.
closed Disambiguations should also be green in edit histories.
Just kind of a minor suggestion, but it could help a lot, it would look neat, and it would make it consistent.
Edited by AudioSpeaks2closed Lock reasons
When an article is locked by staff, it should have a reason for locking that is displayed when you try to edit the page.
Edited by RamenChefclosed Include namespaces in the indexbox
For example the bottom of BrokenBase.Persona 5 says
- Previous: Persona 5
- Index: YMMV/Persona 5:
- Next: Persona 5
The other two are actually BaseBreakingCharacter/Persona 5 and HilariousInHindsight/Persona 5, but you can't tell that without hovering the links.
Edited by Amonimusclosed Give the New Edits page the ability to filter by YMMV.
Give the New Edits page the ability to filter by YMMV.
'Cause right now it has to be done by URL.
