Allow existing strengths/weaknesses as wild cards
Rather than writing your own every time, it would be handy to be able to pick from the list used in character creation. So you could have a defining trait to start with, and a secondary trait you'll select via your wild card. It would also cut down indecision in character creation!
We’ve just implemented this improvement, along with some related functionality! You can read more about it here:

This option definitely would be helpful.

Furthermore, I think that when someone uses a wild card to make something completely new, the card they created should go into the available strengths/weaknesses list for others to use in character creation or as wild cards of their own down the line.

Absolutely. Wild cards can be very versatile, but having the existing cards as a pool to draw from makes it a lot easier. And once you've gone through a few cycles, your choice of Wild Card might repeat itself, and you'll need to keep re-creating the card from scratch each time.

I've had one of my players explicitly request this as well.

Especially for games with powersets. I'm playing in a supers game where the Strengths were all types of powers (Such as Control, Blast, et cetera) and that would be handy to be able to see.
