Well, I've been mostly away for the last couple of weeks. The first week was spent in Orlando attending the Perl conference (YAPC::NA), followed by half a week in Tulsa visiting my grandmother. She's 97 and still beats me at pinochle. These ended up taking most of my time, and I spent more time thinking about tropes than about the actual website.
The big feature that's coming up from me is a new {{trope}}/{{work}}/{{creator}} set of templates. Somehow some of the templates got giant images while I was gone, which is cool and all but I'd personally like the MS Office ribbon to DIAF. Anyway, Looking to see if something has subpages is actually pretty cheap db-wise, so we might as well check and see what pages we have before we display them. Pages we don't have yet get a "New Page" dropdown. Subpages of common categories get their own dropdowns too, so all of the */Recap/* pages will be grouped together for easy browsing.
I think after the fact, we can quibble about colors and image sizes and such -- I don't think 16x16px is necessarily the best size, it's just what I had around. But this will put us technically ahead of TV Tropes for the first time, really. (Except for the forums, which are still awful and probably going to stay that way.) This will be enabled tomorrow evening, once the CSS refreshes.
