Feature Requests

I think there should be a form for users to fill out if they want one of their worlds deleted. I've noticed a ton of duplicate worlds because architects decide to use the same concept but start over from scratch, and they just stop updating the old one which then sits around for six months until they can hide it or until a moderator sees it and removes it. A form requesting world deletion could help streamline this process if someone decides to start over.

In each world, the “About this World” section is OK as an elevator pitch, but offers limited info for new contributors (too concise); however, the bulk of unorganized world elements may be overwhelming (too deep). I would like to suggest an additional editable text field (Like the ones on every individual element) aimed to other creators, as a midpoint to communicate more extensively your world’s fundamentals. It may be placed in the main page of each world (After “I need help with”, before “Explore this World”), and it could work as a custom tool to solve multiple issues (depending of the Architects demands): -To portray a better overall idea/quick guide about the world’s basis. -To list the essential info any creator should know before proposing an element. -To highlight the most important plot elements. To allow Architects to be more concrete about their current needs (For example, if you need concept art for just 1 specific element, a better name for a location, etc). To index the elements (by using inserted URLs). -To communicate the latest updates in the world development. And so on.

Make it possible for Creators to sort the elements in their world. maybe they think of important elements later but those would be pushed to the end of the world page so very little people (who just take a quick look at the world) will see important elements.

A banner image designer could be helpful to people that want to create their own banner but don't have drawing skills. They could pick between backgrounds, characters, items, vehicles, and more all sourced from a monthly banner image design project on Tongal. This project could just call for smaller designs rather than completed banners like the rest. You could also upload your characters designed from the Character Generator Tool to use in your banner!

Some people have suggested having a discussion forum on this site, but I think making a special LEGO WB Discord server administrated by the site moderators would be more practical and more efficient in making people within the WB community engage with each other.

I think allowing private messaging would be helpful in giving members a way to communicate on site without having to make a public post. It may even reduce flagging if the community can just message each other with "Hey, head's up. That's likely to be taken down by the mods."

Similar to LEGO Ideas and Kickstarter, this page is a great way to keep the followers updated on what the architect has done in an overview form. A member is already doing this but as a History element: https://worldbuilder.tongal.com/world/74bc6e87-f22d-45b4-88b4-bf61560aa728/element/a113381a-822f-4e44-a47c-69893c9c819d

This would be tabs as apart of a World that link to whole new projects that are still apart of the main 'idea'/world. Eg, say your World was Lego Adventurers. The main World/project page would be 'Adventurers', this page would give an overview of the World and perhaps some main/recurring characters etc. Then there would be subproject tabs, eg Egypt, Jungle, which would lead to pages that are the same as the current project page, with tabs for characters, places, transport etc. etc. This would allow world builders to make their worlds larger and more detailed, especially when creating multiple storylines or episodes.

either by contest, choosing a certain genre and have people contribute to worlds within that genre to participate or something like that

I recently installed a voice recording app, which I use to record audio clips of my different characters' voices, and I'd like to upload these voice clips to each character's page on Lego World Builder. However, I can't upload audio files to the website, so would there be another way I could do this? Is it possible for someone on the World Builder team to update the website and invite World Builders to provide voices for their characters, since this is something I know some people would like to be able to do for their worlds, especially worlds designed to be made into TV shows or movies alongside the Lego themes?
