Line 1:
Want to give your opinion about a work, but don't know whether it'll be accepted here? Worry not -- ''we '''need''' reviews!'' (Especially for the entirety of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'', ''[[Supernatural (TV series)]]'', and ''[[Babylon 5]]'', in that order.) Just go to the franchise's page, select the "Create New" dropdown at the top of the page, and select "Reviews" to get to the page where your review should go.
'''New Users:''' Because of the December 2020 - January 2021 spam floods on many wikis, we have set an option to preemptively block spam. As a result, your edits will not show up in the wiki until a moderator approves them. Please be patient - this moderation can take as much as a week to happen (or more, if there are significant issues with a proposed edit, or if there are no moderators available). If you establish a sufficient history of good edits, though, the moderators will eventually promote you to a user level that is not subject to moderation.

If there's a rule here that you think should be changed, [[All The Tropes:How to Get a Rule Changed|here's how to suggest changing it]].

<div style="background:yellow;">'''We are aware that the forum is unreachable at the moment. [https://phabricator.miraheze.org/T10033 There is a security issue, and there is no ETA for when (or if) a patch will be ready.]''' In the meantime, the old forums are still available.</div>

Have you read or watched any of [[:Category:Pages_Needing_Elevator_Pitches|these works?]] They all need one-line summaries in their infoboxes; if you can provide even one, please do.

There are [[Special:DisambiguationPageLinks|over 104,000 links to disambiguation pages]] on our pages, as of April 7, 2023. Can you clean up any of these to point to the intended pages instead (keeping in mind that a small minority of these links are intended to point to the disambiguation pages)?
----
There are over two thousand pages listed in [[:Category:Needs a Better Description]], as of August 8, 2023. Under our current rules, none of these would be allowed out of the Trope Workshop. If you have suggestions as to how to make one of the trope pages on this list better, please start a discussion on the trope's talk page to propose the change. If it's a work page that needs more info, just go ahead and add it!

Long-term users will be familiar with our frustrations with the Visual Editor and the damage it can do to the source for pages. Well, good news: per [[Topic:Xjwoerfb0fspdqck|community consensus]] we have found out how to turn it off for the main namespace where the vast majority of wiki pages live, and have done so.
