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.

workingPeople Sit On Chiars TLP Redirect not working
When I clicked the TLP redirect for People Sit on Chairs, It led me to Trope Launch Pad, and not the actual page
workingATT reports flagged as open despite being locked
Here's an example of one that says it's open yet has been locked.
Unless it's something that's happening my end.
Edited by TheUnsquishedworkingVideos play audio for a split second when they're supposed to be muted
When a video is first loaded, it's unmuted for the first frame or so it starts playing and then mutes itself, resulting in a seemingly random blip of sound.
Edited by badtothebaritoneworkingGap on the right
For a few weeks I've noticed that queries and forum threads consistently don't stretch to full width on Chrome mobile (and Chrome desktop in mobile view). Doesn't appear to happen elsewhere.
This may be related to viewport, but I couldn't validate that.
workingPlus signs not saved in forum drafts
Just made a post with several + signs, saved it as a draft, and when I got back to it, they were gone and replaced with empty spaces. Not sure if this affects any other symbols, but just thought I should mention it.
Edited by Zanreoworkingnull edit history for semi-active tropers
i know this has been reported before and the mods are aware, but some tropers' edit histories are completely blank, like this one
workingBroken statuses
I've noticed these (Title) don't work in queries but work in forums.

workingHidden Wicks
At least twice now, there's been reports of wicks having been around for years, but not appearing on the Related page until a recent edit was made.
Seems to be the opposite of a ghost wick, as the wicks exist, but aren't being recorded.
Edited by WarJay77workingFalse Page Creation Dates
Today, I've noticed a few pages with inaccurate creation dates. Celestia VS Cleverbot and Fairy Tale Friday both claim they were made today (Feb 15, 2021) instead of, well...2014 like they were actually created during. This means my edits are classified as being on "new pages" when that's not at all the case.
workingTrope Finder Query Not Showing Up on "My Queries" List
I posted this Trope Finder query about 45 mins ago. However, when I looked at my "My Queries", it is not showing up in the list◊.
Not a major concern, but something I wanted to bring up in case it's happening to others or indicative of a bigger problem.
workingAsk the Tropers help link doesn't work on mobile
On the mobile site, clicking the "help" link at the top of Ask The Tropers doesn't bring up the help dropdown, but takes me to the nonexistent URL https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/help
workingwhen labelnotes have same content on a page, the first one will be opened.
I edited to fix it here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=Franchise.DeusExUniverse#edit33544394 But I noticed on the Deus Ex Universe page, when you click on a labelnote, if there is another one with the same content as above...it will open that one.
An easy workaround is to add a space or something.
I did this on Firefox version 101.0.1 on macOS 12.3.
Edited by ayjazzworkingAds in a table
I don't know if this is a bug, but who in their right mind decided to put ads in a table?
Edited by FSharpworkingTLP Draft History doesn't show any history unless seeing it all
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/yk_history.php?id=inn70yhkgc0bhc2sqtsaxzi0
Says it's showing 15 edits, is actually showing 0. Only showing all edits shows edits.
workingPM Replies to own messages
For reasons unknown, the sent messages in PM box can also be replied to. And they get sent to yourself. Naturally, they should be sent to the troper in the message and not the sender.
Edited by AmonimusworkingLaunched Tropes Missing from "Launched" Section of TLP
At least two tropes launched on 2/3 (Outcast Refuge and Monster in the Moat) do not show up in the "Launched" section of the TLP, under "New Articles", nor do they have "YKTTW Archive" link on their Discussion pages. Both were appropriately launched following all TLP guidelines and the trope pages are still fine. A mod mentioned in a forum query that this is a known issue "that happens sometimes", but wanted to capture it here.
Edited by BeerBaronworkingWhenever I edit in TLP, the edit screen literally expands to the bottom of the page
Here's the edit screen:
This bug only appears to happen at 100% zoom, editing the page zooming out beforehand seems to fix it, but this is getting annoying.
I observed this for some months now. Some uploaded images are getting tagged with a width in the HTML code that is one pixel too large. What actually happens is that the tool crops off one line of pixels on the right but reports back the original width. This results in the image looking blurred when placed on a page.
