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.

workingOld bug in the index bars.
This is not a new bug but an old one that crossed over from the previous Wiki version; but since you're working on them anyway...
In the index bars at the bottom of the page, when there is a custom Wiki Word for one of the the title, it displays the very first custom title submitted, and not the current. When I first noted the bug, I also noticed that such a display was immediate after submitting a custom title (thus, not dependant of mod approval, even if said title was rejected). It should always display the latest title approved.
workingShrunken embedded images when using table formatting in the forums
As can be seen on this page, images that are embedded in a table cell show up as tiny if the next cell has more than one line of text. If the next cell has one line of text or less then the image shows up as its proper size.
workingLine number in History
The History seems to have a problem detecting the line number of an edit: If you remove a line and add one, even much apart from each other, the History gives them both the same line number.
Addition: Okay, it's a bit more complicated that what I described the first time. There is indeed a problem with the History if you move an entry to a different spot on the page (either because it was mis-alphabetized [list of tropes on a work page] or in the wrong folder [list of examples on a trope page]).
However, the History reacts differently depending on whether you have moved the entry UP or DOWN. If you delete a line to move it lower on the page, then you'll have first a "Deleted line(s)" in the History with the correct position, followed by an "Added Diff Lines:" below. Added lines never have the line number specified, but that's a different problem.
On the other hand, if you delete a line to move it above its current position on the page, then the History will display "Added line(s) X,Y" followed by "Deleted line(s) X,Y", and this case the position given is the same for both. It seems to be the "Deleted line(s)" one which is correct, thus the "Added line(s)" having a bug.
Edited by StFanworkingNo option to Find Edits by Troper in mobile site
It appears at the bottom of the main menu on the desktop site, but isn't there on mobile.
When cutlisting a namespaced page (e.g "VideoGame / Rigs Of Rods "), the cutlist links to two different pages, first to Rigs of Rods before the slash, then to Rigs Of Rods which is wrong.
