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.
Currently, we do have some lock reasons listed on Locked Pages — the ones anyone got around to documenting, basically. Not optimal, but... well, it's literally something.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Bumping as it has a lot of upvotes.
"This Article is under administrative lock and currently not editable. Please visit the Administrivia Page to learn more." is the default message, but let mods add a custom reason message. Or just pull it directly from Administrivia.Locked Pages so mods wouldn't have to take extra steps.

Hmm. Not all locked pages have a reason in our internal tool, and I believe some of the reasons contain private information. So I wouldn't take these reasons. Having the mods add a third lock reason (after the one on Locked Pages and the one in the internal tool) for the display seems like a lot of work for honestly very little benefit. I am not sure how many people care about the lock reasons rather than caring about knowing where to ask for edits.

When an article is locked by staff, it should have a reason for locking that is displayed when you try to edit the page.
