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.
I do think that people who care about not wanting to see spoilers are at fault when opening text marked at spoilers.
But if I get this correctly,
[[spoiler:contexthint:hiddentext]]
And on page the line's alt-text would tell where chronologically the spoiler applies to.

Personally? You should just assume that any work page is going to include events from the whole work, probably not spoilered at all
^ Using labelnotes as an alternative makes sense and I've seen it in practice, and I also agree if people are very sensitive to if spoilers are for middle or endstory, they need to get over it if they want to meaningfully edit.

While this may be buried because it isn't new content per se, I think it would be really nice if spoiler formatting told you what part of a work it's spoiling. While on most works assuming that you shouldn't click to see spoilers if you haven't finished it works just fine, for pages where completed works and ongoing adaptations are on the same page (especially Anime & Manga), it can cause problems for people who /thought/ they had finished it. Example for clarity: I have seen the MHA anime through season 6 (which, at the time of writing, means I'm caught up), so when scrolling the page I usually leave spoilers off from the sidebar. However, every so often I come across a spoiler for parts of the manga that haven't yet been adapted. While this is probably my own fault, I think adding a way to write on top of the whiteout would improve everyone's experience. In my example, this would be something like "season 4" or "unadapted manga" on each spoiler, so people like me would click on the spoiler for season 4, which we've seen, but no for the manga, which we haven't read.
