Topic on Forum:Long Term-Perpetual Projects

So, what are the plans to make All The Tropes different from Tv Tropes? Besides, resurrecting tropes/media articles that gotten axe because of the Google Incidents and making ATT exclusive pages.

This has been discussed in the old forums back in 2014 (they are more suggestions than actual plans): What can ATT do to distinguish itself from TVT?

Hmmm, it looks like we're kinda doing those suggestions, like the analysis (This will be tricky to not fall into the "let's list all da tropes"), useful notes, and a few aspects that does need tweaking.

Would having something like the badges that wikia help? I don't know if that'll be a good idea, 'cause I already like the userboxes and whatever is already implemented. Seeing that awards was suggested.

I doubt implementing achievements for this wiki would be useful because it would be so much effort for such a small userbase. Also, I think that achievements on wikis are way less entertaining than those on video games, so I don't really see the appeal.

There's OpenBadges and a MediaWiki extension for that, but just looking at its Developers page is daunting in itself.

Wish that I can do more though, besides talk about the site on Deviantart and reddit.

Plans are currently in the pipeline to give the wiki a major feature overhaul, to make it more competitive feature-wise with TV Tropes and to provide better edit tools and even some fun stuff of users to play with.

I cannot say more until tests are done, but it is hoped that this will help in inducing more people to use our wiki if it is more easily accessible to edit and socialize on.

@Jade Shauni I've been developing this idea of using a rating system of quality similar to what WP and many other wikis do to evaluate the quality of their articles. WP calls it Assessment. I've mentioned it on the DW Forums and therefore I welcome your comments.

Ah, ok, I don't have a thing to add about the assessment currently and I'm looking forward to the outcome of the tests. But on a few places on reddit, someones was wishing that ATT was mobile safe (Though this probably counts as part of 'more easily accessible').
