RETURN TO SPOTLIGHTS TALK PAGE

The Classic Car Wiki (Approved)[]

Hey there,

I am Founder of the Classic Car Wiki. The wiki is around 18 months old now and has close to 5000 pages. I would like to request another spotlight as despite everything the number of people editing and visiting the wiki has been declining.

Can I please request that you use this photo for the spotlight.

James May (talk) 16:19, April 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Classic Cars Wiki is generally in really good shape. It would need a couple of tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria. The main page protection would need to be lowered to only protect against edits by anonymous users and new accounts (this would have stopped the only vandalism I see in the page history, but if it becomes a problem you can raise it again.) The other thing is that you have a few uncategorized pages that need sorting. Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those two things and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 02:13, April 25, 2013 (UTC)
I've added the wiki to the list! -- Wendy (talk) 01:38, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contests Wiki[]

I'm Yugimuto1 and I'm an admin at the Eurovision Song Contests Wiki. It should say, "Find out more about the next contest in Malmo!"  Yugimuto1    Talk   [[Special:Editcount/ Yugimuto1|Special:Editcount/ Yugimuto1 edits ]]  16:26,4/14/2013 

Hi. Eurovision Song Contest looks like a fun wiki. However in order to be spotlighted through this page it would need to meet our Spotlight Criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content pages. Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has had a chance to grow a bit! -- Wendy (talk) 02:19, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

A.N.T. Farm Wiki (approved)[]

A.N.T. Farm Wiki — 385 content pages, 110 active editors, low number of stubs and short articles, uncategorized pages is empty. – Confession0791 (talkcontribs) 18:22, April 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. A.N.T. Farm Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 01:47, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
Hey Wendy! Sorry about coming in late and all, but I would like to add a photo. I usually do it, but I have been inactive. Thanks!
Here is the photo. Thank you :) --Evanf (Talk) 23:46, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Heartbeat Wiki (approved)[]

I would like to request a spotlight for the Heartbeat Wiki, as we are approaching the 2nd Year anniversary of the wiki on May 10th, 2013. The wiki meets all the criteria

  • I, Jsteel7, am an active admin, having recently adopted the wiki
  • The wiki has 645 pages, of which 110 (less than a fifth) are less than 300 bytes
  • The main page has plenty of images and is blocked against anonymous and new edits only
  • Every page is catergorized
  • We are not choosing any new admins at the moment
  • The Wiki welcome tool is signed with @latest
  • There is a custom message in the community corner
  • The wiki has a customized skin
  • We do not use innapropriate or rude language or use rude images
  • For the spotlight image, I would like to use this image
  • We would like a message such as 'Come visit the resource for all things Heartbeat

Regards, Jsteel7 (Talk), Admin NSW Trains Wiki 05:06, April 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Heartbeat Wiki is in excellent shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. In terms of the image you suggest, is there a larger version of the picture? Generally that works best, and then they crop it down for the spotlight. Also, in general the name of the wiki is going to be right under the image; are you sure you want it in the image also? -- Wendy (talk) 01:56, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Mazinger Wiki (approved)[]

Good evening community central. I am the founder, and presently only admin of the Mazinger Wiki. I would like to get more editors for the wiki and would like to request a spotlight. The wiki follows all of the guidelines needed for such. I would like some assistance after coming so far. If I have missed anything important for a spotlight, please inform me and I will fix the problem post-haste. I would very much like to reach people with information on the franchise, especially in the countries where it is popular. I do not expect the best results, but I do expect some sort of results. Thank you for your time, and I will be listening to what you have to say. Oh and here is the link to the main page: http://mazinger.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page.Zeromaro (talk) 00:19, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. You've done a great job building up the Mazinger Wiki in a short time! The only thing I see that it would need for a spotlight is some slightly better navigation. Perhaps you could customize the menu at the top (Mediawiki:Wiki-navigation) and also add some links on the main page to major content areas (eg. manga, anime, characters, etc.). Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 02:04, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
Added! -- Wendy (talk) 01:41, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Snafu Comics Wiki (approved)[]

Themains

Hello comic fans. Have you already heard about Snafu Comics? Maybe you know the famous webcomics like; Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Grim Tales, Sugar Bits and Skull-Boy. I'm the admin of the wiki and we are in need of more editors. People really love to speculate in the forums about what is coming next and some pages need to go more into detail. Here is the link to the website. Thank you! DarKingdomHearts (talk) 14:34, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

And here is the status of the best practices.

  • I'm the admin and founder of the wiki;
  • We have 860 pages on the wiki;
  • The home page is in my opinion very beautiful. It has feature things, a slideshow, a poll and information.
  • Every page ha multiple categories. Even made the categories more specific for each character, item and location recently.
  • Already chose admins.
  • You get a message from an admin when contributing to the wiki.
  • The admins are mentioned in the community message.
  • We don't have an own skin, but like it the way it is now.
  • Message with curses and such are immediately deleted by the chat moderators. The wiki does feature some seducing pictures of girl (but no nudity).
Hi. Snafu Comics Wiki looks good for the most part. There are a small handful of uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 02:11, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning those up - I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 19:05, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

StormClanRP Wiki[]

http://stormclanrp.wikia.com/wiki/StormClanRP_Wiki

Hi my name is cinder. I'm an admin of SCRPW. We are in need of some new users and I really want it to be a spotlight

About

  • warrior rp site
  • warrior cats
  • rp

Please Consider. Thanks ~ Cindzer 02:00, April 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Cinder. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted through this request page, a wiki needs to meet our spotlight criteria. One of those is to have at least 200 non-stub (longer than 300 byte) content pages. StormClanRP Wiki looks really good -- I love the customization, but it is not quite big enough yet for a spotlight. Please feel free to ask again when it has grown a bit more. -- Wendy (talk) 02:17, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

GTA Myths Wiki[]

Hello I am requesting a spotlight for the GTA Myths Wiki. We have a gained popularity and have added many more users. 99% of the pages are categorized and well organized. A spotlight would be great to help this wiki grow even more. Thank you.--Sasquatch101 (talk) 01:38, April 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. GTA Myths Wiki looks great -- I love the skin! Unfortunately in order to be spotlighted through this requests page, a wiki needs to have 200 non-stub content pages. Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has grown a bit more! -- Wendy (talk) 00:07, May 15, 2013 (UTC)


The Video Game Database Wiki (approved)[]

Hey! I have a wiki that covers everything from video games to A-Z and I wanted to celebrate by putting it up for a spotlight. thevideogamedatabase.wikia.com/wiki/TheVideoGameDatabase_Wiki Xboxandrotr (talk) 01:11, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Video Game Database Wiki is in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 00:42, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

WWII Wiki[]

Battle of Aachen

Hello,

I would like to put in a request for the WWII Wiki. Editors are needed and there hasn't been enough traffic to support the need. We are also attempting to earn a solid place on the WAM board so new editors will be well appreciated!

For the spotlight, is it possible for the picture at the right along with the caption "Come join the fight!" to be used?

 Fargo84  Talk  Contributions  World War II Wiki   02:12,4/26/2013 02:12, April 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. WWII Wiki is in generally great shape. The one issue I see for a spotlight is that you have over 300 pages marked as stubs; that number would need to be less than 150 (or less than 1/5th of your total content). Please work on either expanding those pages or unmarking those that are no longer truly stubs and let me know when you have reduced the number so I can check again. -- Wendy (talk) 03:15, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

MHFanon (approved)[]

I would like to have Monster Hunter Fanon as a spotlight. I'm an administrator there, in fact the most active one, and we've recently finished staff changes. We're ready with open arms for new contributors! :)

Our main page is protected, but MHFanon has a somewhat strong history of spammers and vandals, so we take precautions.

Any staff who would like to contact us MHF admins directly can use our Administrator Board or our talk pages. MasterCeadeus 16:55, April 28, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. MHFanon is in fairly good shape, but you do have quite a few uncategorized pages. Please sort those out and let me know on my wall so I can check again! -- Wendy (talk) 03:20, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning those up! I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 01:24, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Pound Puppies (2010) Wiki (approved)[]

http://poundpuppies2010.wikia.com/wiki/Pound_Puppies_2010_Wiki 234 pages, very few stubs, strong "title" page, Lots of information on many characters, episodes, and the show itself (plus a desperate need for the show to get fans!) Has about three other admins (excluding me, the founder) PoundPuppies10fan1 (talk) 11:39, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Pound Puppies (2010) Wiki looks good. Could you please customize the community corner on the wiki activity page? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:17, May 22, 2013 (UTC)
Done! -- Wendy (talk) 03:11, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

GTA Wiki (approved)[]

Hi there. I am suprised that this wiki hasn't already been spotlighted. It has over 7,500 pages and about 300 edits a week. It has a lot of information and mostly all the pages are perfect.

  • We have 233 pages, and not many stubs
  • All pages are in a catagory

Iron Man Wiki[]

Iron Man Wiki Promo

Hi I was wondering if the Iron Man wiki could have a spotlight. We have 200+ pages, all with categories and the other admins have already discussed this which you can see here. Anyway we would like to use the image below for our spotlight.--- The bridge is cursed 17:37, June 6, 2013 (UTC)


Hi. The wiki is in good shape -- the main page is very well done! For a spotlight I would need to ask you to drop the main page protection to only protect against anonymous and new user edits. Also you have a small handful of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted. Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list!
In terms of the image, it will work better if you provide the background graphics and the slogan ("Do you have what it takes to be a hero?") separately; the current version will not be legible when it is cropped/shrunk down to the size of the spotlights. -- Wendy (talk) 03:20, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


Merlin Wiki (approved)[]

Hi community central. I am an admin on Merlin Wiki. I would like to boost Wiki Activity and hope you will consider adding this wiki to the spotlight list as it meets all the given criteria. We have 994 pages, 12 admins and are not recruiting any new admins, a customized skin and very few stubs.

Regards,

Merlinarthur

Hi. Merlin Wiki is in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:34, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


Habbo Wiki[]

Hi. I'm an administrator at the Habbo Wiki. I would like to attract users to the wiki, and have them possibly join the game itself! We have a good number of contributors. And we have about 3 users with over 6000 edits (me being one of them).

  • The wiki is around 5 years old.
  • Has over 4,400 Content pages.
  • Good community
  • Very customised
  • Very community oriented
  • Daily twitter updates
  • Recent site update
  • No uncategorised pages

Please consider adding :) :Ghhghgh (☎) 02:29, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Habbo Wiki has a great customized skin and I can see all the work you've put into it. However, over 3000 of the 4400 pages are marked as stubs and a similar number are stub-length (shorter than 300 bytes). In order to be spotlighted there should be no more than about 900 stubs. Please work on strengthening the content you have and feel free to ask again when it is more filled-in. -- Wendy (talk) 03:42, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


Stormlight Archive[]

Hi, I would like to know if our wiki Stormlight Archive would qualify for spotlight, even though we don't fully qualify per your Best practices listing e.g. as we use the stub template as all round can be improved template.

I am asking because later this year the second novel in the series is about to be released and it's will be great if we get a spotlight then. --Mbg2 (talk) 06:02, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The only issue I see is the main page protection, which should be lowered to only block new and unregistered edits. For the rest the wiki looks ok.
In terms of the stubs, you have less than 90 "stub-length" pages, so the content is really ok. The issue with the "stub template" is that it is frequently a bit of a big "failure" box for the reader, and basically says "this page wasn't worth you visiting". However, the customized phrasing you use actually works for me, and I would overlook it. That said, if you don't want the spotlight for a few months I strongly recommend you go through the marked articles and add some information/unmark them if you could; it will make a much better viewing experience for new readers. -- Wendy (talk) 03:52, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


The Universal Triumvirate Wiki[]

Hello, I'm Nathan Maine, the main organizer of the Universal Triumvirate Wiki ([1]), and I'd like to apply for a spotlight. The wiki has 337 content pages, very few stubs, few redlinks, and few pages that are uncategorized. The category structure is decent, the main page is laid out very simply and informatively, and has a stable community (which we are eager to grow!).

Let me know if there are any questions about the wiki, as the concept is a little unusual, but I believe a spotlight would really help this community out. Thank you. Nathan Maine (talk) 21:45, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The main page looks great, and I can see you have worked hard on the wiki. The wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight however. First you would need to customize the default skin of the wiki (you can use Special:ThemeDesigner), and also add a custom message to the Community Corner. Finally there are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out. Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these things and I'll be happy to check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:02, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki (approved)[]

Hello!

I am an active administrator at the local wiki— Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki would like to apply for a spotlight.

  • The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki.
    • 333 content pages, only 6 in which are below 300 bytes.
  • The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.
    • It is indeed sufficient to the description.
  • The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).
  • The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
    • Not in the middle of any uphevals.
  • The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.)
    • The tool follows this practice.
  • The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)
    • The community corner is customized with links and text.
  • The wiki should have a customized skin.
    • It has a customized skin.
  • The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.
    • PG-13 profane language is in the content, but warnings of the readers' discretion is stressed on each page with such content.

As for the spotlight itself, use this image and have the text be something along the lines of "Edit the ultimate fan fiction wiki!" --Yuzura☆炎のマスタ 01:21, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 00:58, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Thomas the Tank Engine Wikia (approved)[]

Percy'sPromise6

It's been about 6 months since our last spotlight. Could you use the image with the caption "Spend your Summer on Sodor!" [ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_%26_Friends] Thanks! Toby7 Sláinte! 18:25, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thomas & Friends looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 01:10, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

POTC Wiki - for a special anniversary[]

To whom it may concern:

Normally, I do make long-ish posts, but because I've an appointment to keep I'll try and make it brief. Back in New Year's, we had POTC Wiki decorated with a theme used in the first movie. Why? Because we're in the process of celebrating the film's 10th anniversary. Just to be clear, it's only about the movie, not the Wiki's anniversary - I think that would happen in 2016, 10 years after the first edit on the Main Page.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The actual date of the anniversary is July 9, when the first film was released. We're counting down, which can also be seen on the Main Page. Until then, I intend to make 3 blogs and post them on POTC Wiki per week; the first will be posted on June 25, and the last post on July 9. That way it can be done as early as possible and we don't have to make blog posts every week of July, since the actual anniversary date is early in the month. In addition, there will be one extra blog on July 10, but this will be after so you don't have to worry about it.

For this request, I was recommended to apply for a spotlight to highlight the anniversary. Not sure if this was the right time or not (as the first blog won't be posted for the next few days or so; let alone the anniversary is weeks away)...but can't be too early, says I. Anyways, if you have any questions, of course ask me about it here or at my wall - whichever is preferred. Fair winds! :) -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 07:37, June 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Unfortunately there is no way we can get the spotlight up before July 9th, although around July 15th would be possible if I can approve the wiki soon (new spotlights go up at the middle and end of each month, and there is some lead-time to have them made up after they are approved). The wiki is in generally good shape except for all of the templates you use marking things that need images or quotes and are stubs; together you have well most of your content pages marked in some way, and even stubs alone are more than 1/5th of the pages. Clicking random page brings up very few pages without at least one of those templates. Please work on cleaning out the stub categories (so that all of them combined have fewer than 500 total pages) and, if possible, some of the other "needed" categories (quotes, images, etc) should be reviewed where possible. Let me know on my wall when you have reduced the number of stub pages and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 01:23, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
Stubs can definitely be done. Quotes and images, however, are another thing. Images especially as our policy is to try and use as many official images as possible; and most of the articles that bear the image template relate to The Price of Freedom novel(which doesn't have any images, save for the cover). But reducing stubs should be easy enough, though not sure how well because there is still expanding to be done in some pages. -- CJSFanOn Stranger Tides, Arkham City 01:51, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki[]

I would like to request a spotlight for Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki. We fill all the requirements, then some, and I am the only active Bureaucrat. {{SUBST:User:DrAssassin/sig2}} 16:26, June 24, 2013 (UTC)


Hi. Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki is generally in good shape. It would need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria. First, you could you please drop the main page edit protection to only protect against anonymous users and new accounts. The other issue is that you have 150+ uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out? Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these things and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 01:29, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Dumbledore's Army Roleplay Wiki (approved)[]

I know we have spotlights in the past, but it has been quite a while. On the recent list of top wikias that was e-mailed out, ours was the #2 Roleplay wikia, and we just began another year at Hogwarts, and have other events and plot lines going. We're looking to add new users, and thought this would be a great way to entice some new users in. Thanks! {{SUBST:User:Bond_em7/sig}} 23:24, July 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The wiki remains in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 03:30, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Neopets Wiki (approved)[]

I would like to submit our Wiki for the spotlight. It's about Viacom's browser-based game Neopets. We're very small and needs lots of help, so any new members that we can get who play the game would be spectacular. Our page count is at about 1,500 right now and our articles are all categorized (though we're switching a few over to updated categories to make everything even better right now).

Cheers.

Football Wiki[]

Hey I'm Alfons I'm also on Merlin and Survivor Wiki, I just want to request a spotlight for one of my other wikis! Football Wiki (Soccer)! I believe it matches criteria! We just need to bolster our Wiki Activity... Ḡwẵine Ḹٍٍkƨ Ĺiĸe Ͼềлȑềd 09:48, July 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Football Wiki generally looks great (love the grass for the background!). For a spotlight you would need to customized the communtiy corner. You also have a lot of uncategorized pages that would need to be properly tagged. Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those two things and I will be happy to check again! -- Wendy (talk) 03:42, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Avengers and X-men Wiki (approved)[]

Hi Wikia! I am ΚΟΜΙΞ Founder of Avengers and X-men Wiki! I would like to request a spotlight for my wiki! It should say The Battle Of the Atom is about to start!. Image

Thank you. ΚΟΜΙΞ (talk) 23:03, July 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Avengers and X-men Wiki looks great -- I love the comic book styling you used on the skin! Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted through this requests page, wikis must have at least 200 non-stub pages (greater than 300 bytes and not marked with a stub template). Please feel free to ask again when you have built out the wiki just a bit more, and can meet that and the rest of the Spotlight criteria! -- Wendy (talk) 05:05, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


Great to see you built the wiki up so quickly -- I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 03:30, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Amazing Everything Wiki[]

Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, a bureaucrat on the Amazing Everything Wiki. This wiki has over 3,500 pages, has a picture on the front page, among other things. I wish for it to be on the Spotlights list for this reason. I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 17:19, July 20, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Amazing Everything wiki looks like a lot of fun. However it does need a bit of work to meet our spotlight criteria. There are currently a lot of uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out. There are also too many stub/short pages; you should have no more than about 775 shorter than 300 bytes, but right now there are nearly twice that many. Let me know when the wiki can meet all of the spotlight criteria and I'll be happy to check again! -- Wendy (talk) 03:13, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

NightClan Roleplaying Wiki[]

Hi, I'm Mistybird, an admin on NightClan Roleplaying, or, NC, as most users call it. We used to be quite popular, and we've been spotlighted before when our wiki was quite inactive, and there was a huge boost in popularity, which NC needs right now. We need new users that don't just make a cat and leave - we need users to stay. That's our problem; people just join, then leave. Rainsplash987, IcewrathXFeatherswirlXCraneheart and me have all tried doing fun public activities - none have helped. Everyone signed up to do things - but never actually showed up. We have over 400 pages, and are quite popular on Warriors Fanfiction Wiki, where most of our users came from.

Thanks,

Hi. I'm glad your spotlight helped before! The wiki is still in good shape and just needs a few tweaks for a second spotlight. There are a small number of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out. The other issue is the floating boxes on the main page -- they are actually covering the content space on smaller screen sizes. Could you please incorporate the boxes into the main page itself rather than as floaters? Let me know on my wall when you have finished with that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:30, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

Rating System Wiki[]

Hello, I am CalzoneManiac. I am known as the founder of the Rating System Wiki. We have 105 pages, of which 2 (1.904%) are under 300 bytes. We also have a customized skin, and are not in the process of choosing new admins. We also have acquired a majority of users, most of which come from the SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob Fanon, among other wikis. I ask for spolights because it will increase our popularity.

Oh, and, by the way, use this image for the wiki with the caption "Indiana Jones beware..." on the top, and "The Rating System Wiki is ready to roll!" on the bottom.

I love stamps and I'm 22. (talk) 21:41, July 23, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I'm sorry but in order to be spotlighted through this request page, wikis need to meet our spotlight criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content pages. Please feel free to ask again when your wiki has grown a little more! -- Wendy (talk) 04:01, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Biblicalapedia (approved)[]

Biblicalapedia is a wiki dedicated to biblical history. We have several articles and hope to expand them and hopefully, grow our wik into a rather large one. We still have a few thigns to be done, but we would like a spotlight. i am applying for it now, but I will notify you when i'm ready for it.

Thanks Superdadsuper Biblicalapedia Administrator User Talk:Superdadsuper 19:42, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Biblicalapedia looks good in general. When you are ready for a spotlight I would just request that you drop the main page protection to only block edits by new accounts and anonymous users and then let me know and I can add it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 04:07, August 28, 2013 (UTC)
Added! -- Wendy (talk) 00:32, August 29, 2013 (UTC)

Pretty Little Liars Wiki (approved)[]

Hi! I would like to put in a request for the Pretty Little Liars wiki. It has 723 articles, only 43 of them have less than 300 bytes. As of July 25 has no uncategorized pages. The main page was protected from editing in 2011 because there were massive editing wars. We can change it if that's a problem though. Thanks for your attention. A.Darkbloom (talk) 20:03, July 25, 2013 (UTC)

Pretty Little Liars Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. However, I will ask you to drop the edit protection so regular users can edit the main page; you can leave it protected against anons and new accounts. 2011 was a long time ago; if the problems return you can re-protect. -- Wendy (talk) 04:14, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Nintendo Wiki[]

I would like to request a spotlight for the Nintendo Wiki.

http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_Wiki

The Nintendo Wiki is a wiki that contains all of the information that a Nintendo gamer would need. It has info on games, locations, characters, enemies, and much more. While the wiki covers all info on Nintendo, it also covers information on non-Nintendo games that are on Nintendo systems.

 Rocketslime_1_1  Talk  Wall  Contribs  17:41,7/26/2013 

Hi. Nintendo wiki looks really good and very comprehensive. The only issue I see is that over 4000 pages (more than 1/3rd of your content) is in your stubs category. Please make some effort to clean that out so it only has about 2400 pages or less -- its nicer to read a website that doesn't claim every 3rd page is a stub... Let me know when you've sorted those out and I'll check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:20, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

X-Men Movies Wiki (approved)[]

Can you please spotlight the wiki for The Wolverine movie? Thanks :)

New Captain (talk contribs count) 06:38, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I'm sorry the response was slow and we missed the movie. The wiki itself looks really good in general (love the poster on the main page with Patrick Stewart's face split by the X). If you are still interested in a spotlight, we would need to ask that you strengthen the content of the wiki a bit. Right now there are around 220 pages that are stub-length (shorter than 300 bytes); in order for those to be only 1/5th of your content you would need to reduce the number to 140 or so. 300bytes is only a couple of sentences so you can probably expand many of the pages you have. Let me know on my wall if you want the spotlight and have the stubs taken care of and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:30, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

"I think it would be great to anticipate X-Men: Days of Future Past. " (copied from message wall, as the wolverine idea is outdated).

Thanks for straightening out the stub pages -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 04:24, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Berserk Wiki[]

Hi, I am admin on Berserk Wiki and I would like to request a spotlight. Our main page is semi protected and has many pictures, the community messages are quite long and get updated whenever a new discussion is created, the new admins/mods/rollbacks have been chosen, we have 535 pages and definitely at least 200 of them are not stubs and there are no uncategorized pages. Also we have created all the rules that wikis need and we keep getting new members. And of course we aren't using inappropriate language and images. So I believe that our wiki does deserve the spotlight. Thanks in advance.  Staw-Hat Luffy  Talk  17:56, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Oh and if we do get the spotlight, this is the picture we want to use.  Staw-Hat Luffy  Talk  18:05, July 27, 2013 (UTC)


Hi. Berserk Wiki looks great in general, but I think you slightly mis-understood the spotlight criteria. No more than 1/5th of the content pages can be stubs; so in your case you would need fewer than 106 pages marked as stubs (or stub-length). Right now you have 261 pages marked as stubs. Please work on strengthening these pages so they are at least 300bytes and not marked as stubs. Let me know on my wall when you have finished and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:35, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Kami Nichi Wiki[]

Hey there. I'm requesting a spot light for Kami Nichi Wiki, for it is based of the new anime Sunday Without God (which is still currently airing). If the spot light were to go through, I'd like the image on the right hand side of this text to be used and the text to state "What would you do, in a world without God", if not that then, "A world without God"

Golden Globes Wiki[]

My wiki is about the Golden Globes, the nominees, and the winners. I would love if Golden Globes Wiki could be in the Spotlight. Golden Globes Wiki is not a very big wiki and it needs to attract editors. If you do not feel like putting my wiki in the spotlight, just send a wave of users here.

Wikianswers (approved)[]

Hello. I am a bureaucrat at Wikianswers and I would like to add a spotlight to the wiki.

There are a few things we would like to say: This is an answers site, so 750k questions can't be percentaged into stubs. The questions always fly in, but we try to keep it clean. Also, does the caution image or the little sci-fi box count as an image? If not, I have no idea what we could add. The main page is sysops protected, as we have a lot of vandalism & anon activity going on the wiki.

Thanks! — Jr Mime (talk) 23:03, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Muud. I'm going to have to get back to you about this one. In the past we didn't spotlight answers wikis by request, but I agree that Wikianswers would seem to meet, in its own way, the criteria for a spotlight. If you don't hear from me again in a few days, remind me on my wall. -- Wendy (talk) 04:55, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Chuggington Wikia (approved)[]

Hello, I'm an Admin of the Chuggington Wikia. I would like to request that our Wiki could be spotlighted. It has been 10 months since our last request and some special events are coming up over the next month for Chuggington. Chuggington's Fourth Series will be airing in the UK this month, aswell as Chuggington's first 30 minute special. Lastly, the end of next month will be 5 years since Chuggington's first episode in 2008.

Our last spotlight worked very well for us. Our daily viewers increased from under 750 per day to between 1000 and 2000 per day. We would like this spotlight to boost the number of users that edit here. Our Wikia should have the requirements for the spotlight, but we can quickly sort out anything that we need.

If possible may this image be used and can it say 'Chugging into its Fourth Series.' or 'Celebrating 5 years.'

Thanks - JRCS talk to me 15:28, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Chuggington Wiki is still in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 05:00, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Mega Bloks Halo Wiki (approved)[]

Hello, it has been around 2 years since the Mega Bloks Halo Wiki has been in the spotlight. My wiki is in need of editors, and I hope that new users can add tons of new information on top of what we already have.

The wiki also appears to meet the criteria:

  • I, 99alextheman99 am an active admin on the wiki and also its founder.
  • The wiki is 394 pages and only 24 pages are less than 300 bytes.
  • The main page has far over 1 image, and also has clear links for the rules, images, external websites and the wiki's bigger pages.
  • Every page has a catagory (For example, all figures of the UNSC faction are under the UNSC Mini Figures catagory).
  • The wiki is currently not in the process of selecting new admins, and is stable with its current (And unfortunately not many) editors providing helpful content to the wiki.
  • The wiki does indeed use the Welcome tool.
  • The wiki does have a custom message in the Community Corner.
  • The wiki does have a custom skin.
  • The wiki is free of any offensive or inappropriate content.


Also, for the caption I would like: The popular building sets based on the Halo franshise!

And the picture: Link

Thank you in advance! - 99alextheman99 21:47, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Mega Bloks Halo Wiki is in great shape and I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list. Thank you for taking the time to check all of the criteria yourself before you asked! -- Wendy (talk) 03:48, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Selena Gomez Wiki (approved)[]

Hello, I am ArianaGrandeForever. I request that the Selena Gomez Wiki may be spotlighted by Wikia. The wiki meets all the criteria needed for spotlighted wikis. Thank you for your considerations.  ArianaGrandeForever  08:51, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The Selena Gomez Wiki is in good shape but in order to be spotlighted, the main page protection would need to be dropped to only prevent editing by anonymous users and new accounts (mid-level protection). Please let me know on my wall when you have changed this and I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:55, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Bloons Conception Wiki (approved)[]

Hello. Today I just want to register my wiki, Bloons Conception Wiki, to this Spotlights program. It's a large ideas wiki for the game series Bloons, and I'm the current Head Manager of that wiki. I think we've met all the requirements:

  • As I said, I'm the Head Manager, and a Bureaucrat
  • The wiki currently has 1689 pages (counting stubs), with 136 shortpages, stubs are a minor problem
  • The main page of the wiki has many pictures (as you can see), each picture leads to a major category, and it's currently not protected.
  • By an adminmentor's words, the category structure of the wiki is clear enough for the wiki's theme and purposes
  • The wiki is not in the middle of any upheaval unless you count the Admin Mentor Program as one (I think you don't though)
  • The wiki is using the welcome tool with a detailed message signed by admins
  • The Community Center has had custom messages for months
  • The wiki has had a customized skin for nearly a year
  • I think the language in the wiki is not so offensive, and no image is so inappropriate

So, there you have it. I really want to improve my wiki and help it get more contributors, so I want to register it for this program. Meta07 (talk) 18:12, August 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to address all of the spotlight criteria in your request. Bloons Conception Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 04:00, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Baldur's Gate Wiki (approved)[]

I am an administrator of Baldur's Gate wiki and I request the spotlight to attract more visitors and eventually contributors.

This wiki has at least 1,140 pages, 200 pages of content of 2,000+ bytes which aren't stubs.

Our main page has at least one picture (slideshow) and links to the most important categories and articles. Only anomynous and new contributors can't make edits on it, due to experience in the past.

There are no pages in Special:UncategorizedPages.

The place is stable, we have no conflicts and we are not in the process of choosing any administrators.

This wiki uses the welcome tool and we have a custom message in the community center.

We have a customised skin, we have no inappropriate content and we don't use offensive language.

As for the promotion text, I don't know which is the best, so here there are a few:

  • Join the wiki for the children of Bhaal.
  • Join the wiki for Bhaalspawn (nearly the same as above).
  • The wiki about the best western rpg serie.
  • Since 1998, this game still amazes players.

Here is a link to the image. I don't know if it needs to be resized or if one is required without the letters.

Hi Jeff. the Minecraft Computer Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape.

I Love Writing Wiki (approved)[]

I am the co-head admin of this wiki. We do have 200 content pages, however I'm sure we have a good but of stubs. This is mainly because we are a writing wiki, and these stubs are books our users are planning on writing, but haven't gotten to yet. The main page of the wiki does not have any pictures, but it is very colorful and well-coded, and it does contain clear links to the most important content. It is sysop-protected, but I can change that. We have a strictly enforced category structure and every content page (to my beliefe) is in at least one category page. We are not in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; we are a stable, friendly place. We do use the Wikia welcome tool, and it is signed by all staff. We do have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. We do have a customized skin. We do use offensive language, but only in stories (creative freedom), but we do not allow inappropriate pictures. Mudkip.png Bloodstar18 21:39, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I Love Writing Wiki looks pretty good in general; as I think you know based on your request, the only tweaks it needs for a spotlight are the mainpage. The protection needs to be lowered, and it would be nice if you could find some pictures to add in there -- even little icons for things. You could possibly set up a portal to the main story types or to some of the other options in your menus (eg. "stories", "Reviews", "Ratings" etc...). Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of that page and I will check back again. -- Wendy (talk) 03:32, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for sprucing up the mainpage -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 01:27, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

F1 Wiki: Request for Spotlight (approved)[]

I would like to request spotlight for the F1 Wiki in an attempt to improve the wiki's popularity. We had spotlight for a month in mid-2012 which brought a number of new editors including one which is now an admin. With the 2013 F1 season reaching its conclusion in a couple of months, I believe that this is a good time to make this request.

In order to expedite the application, I have responded to each of Wikia's criteria as follows:

  • I am an active admin, as is Gyarados Magnus with whom I have discussed this request;
  • We are rapidly approaching 1,100 pages, of which only 17 are less that 300 bytes. 3 of these are disambiguations, and the rest are early car pages which are in development;
  • The Featured Article section of the main page has a picture, the news section has a further two, and there is a picture of the World Champion. The main page is not sysop protected, but is locked from IP editing;
  • Special:UncategorizedPages is empty.
  • There are 3 active and 1 semi-active admins on the wiki. There is no intention of upheaval.
  • MediaWiki:Welcome-user is set to @sysop
  • I have written a welcome message in the Community Corner.
  • The wiki uses a custom skin with a background image which is changed each race to an image of the next circuit.
  • The F1 Wiki does not tolerate the use of inappropriate language or images.

I hope you will enjoy a visit to the F1 Wiki to verify this information. The image which was used last time for Spotlight (a cropped version of this image) should suffice if the F1 Wiki is selected for spotlight.

Thank You

Hi. Thanks for your detailed response to the adoption criteria -- I appreciate it! F1 Wiki is still in good shape and I will be happy to approve it for another spotlights. -- Wendy (talk) 03:37, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki (approved)[]

I'd like to get a spotlight for the MCU wiki for the upcoming movie Thor: The Dark World. Hopefully about the same time as that. If it is a bit too late, then maybe for the next movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier which is coming out on the 4th of April, 2014. I just want the spotlight to be up around the release of the movie. Thanks :) New Captain (talk contribs count) 06:54, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Marvel cinematic Universe Wiki is in good shape and I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list. It should go up by the middle of November, which seems to fit the release for the Thor movie. -- Wendy (talk) 03:42, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Supreme Dragon Ball Wiki[]

Hello! This is TheLoneNord AKA Kuzon. I am a lead Bureaucrat and founding member of Supreme Dragon Ball

Lookout

Wiki AKA Lookout. The wiki is a Role-Play/Fan-Fiction/Canon, Dragon Ball and all-anime based wiki. It was founded May 8th, 2012, and has had a spotlight before (sometime in July or August of 2012). I tried to give it one a few months ago but they said something about uncategorized pages, so I categorized them. May I ask, how long spotlights last, and if we are good with getting one? Thank you. - TheLoneNord (talk) 03:32, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Spotlights are up for at least 2 weeks and occasionally longer. Supreme Dragon Ball Wiki looks like it is mostly in good shape; however the skin needs to be fixed. There is white on white (ie unreadable) text on many of your templates, mainpage titles, etc. Could you please straighten out the styling issues so the wiki is readable? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 03:49, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
I tried fixing it..but I need a code and what you specifically MEAN by "white on white", as on Chrome there is no problems, it only has problems on other browsers (which we reccomend people to update anyway). I need a code to put on the templates that makes them regular please. -- TheGreatKuzon! (talk) 00:25, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Tower of God Wiki (approved)[]

Hello Wikia, I would like to have a spotlight for our Wiki Tower of God, to let us know in the Wikia community.

Supernatural Wiki (approved)[]

I'm an admin on http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Supernatural_Wiki and would like to request a spot light. Season 9 premieres in a week and would be great if the wiki could be approved by then. The Wiki meets all the criteria (The B'crat changed the main page protection level recently, but for the sake of the spot light, I lowered it). For the spot light, incorporate this image with the tag line: Angels are not always the good guys. (linking it to Season 9 page) RaghavDAll I need is ONE life, ONE try, ONE breath, I'm ONE man 17:47, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Supernatural Wiki is in good shape except that the main page protection would need to be lowered again for the spotlight. It can be raised again if there are problems.
In terms of the timing... spotlights only go up at the beginning and middle of the month, so there was no way we could have put it up by the 8th when it was requested on the 1st; however if you still wish to be spotlighted, please fix the main page and let me know on my wall. -- Wendy (talk) 04:00, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 01:19, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

Nitrome Wiki (approved)[]

Hello! I would like to request the Nitrome Wiki for spotlight. We fulfill all the requirements, as noted below.

  • The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. - I'm an Admin. Source
  • The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki. - The wiki has 2027 articles, 23 of those which are under 300 bytes, 21 of those being redirects. We have 82 stubs.
  • The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism. - The wiki's main page fulfills all of this (Source). However, it is protected to block new users, as through the 5 years of being up, the front page has been vandalized 14 times, all done by new users. (Source)
  • The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty). - Special:UncategorizedPages is empty, all pages have a category and all categories are categorized.
  • The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - Although we are choosing a new admin, I am simply waiting for confirmation from another admin to close to discussion.
  • The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) - The toll is being used. Source
  • The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - There is a custom message displayed (Source)
  • The wiki should have a customized skin. - Check any page of the wiki, a custom skin is in use.
  • The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Our wiki's policy condemns swearing and offensive language, and also abides by the Terms of Use by not allowing inappropriate pictures

Also, may I ask for the dimensions of the Wikia spotlight image? I can't seem to find another spotlight logo to design the Wiki's spotlight logo for. --— NOBODY (talk) 02:52, October 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Nitrome Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.
If you wish to choose an image, then please post it here, along with any suggested text. There are no dimension requirements -- Wikia will create the spotlight from the image you provide. Don't feel that you have to choose one - we can also pick one out for you. -- Wendy (talk) 12:26, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Thomas New Stories[]

This is a Fan Thomas site that Was started by DDAT6. Its really nice and has over 200 pages at the moment.

On the site, You can write TTTE Stories (Note: They may Move the Page), And You can also do FanCharacters. TheNewGuy01-Talk

Hi. Spotlight requests need to be made by an admin on the wiki. I suggest you talk to DDAT6 and see if he is interested in pursuing one, and he can make a request here. -- Wendy (talk) 12:30, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Rolling Stones Wiki[]

Hi there, I'm Dragonknight86, but you can call me Dragon. Anyway, my wiki the Rolling Stones wiki has 259 pages total. A few of them are stubs, but over 200 are not. The main reason I want this wiki to be on the spotlight is because I have all this content, and no active users. So please consider adding the Rolling Stones wiki to the spotlight. Thank you Dragonknight86 (talk) 20:32, October 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Rolling Stones Wiki looks great. However you appear to have over 150 pages marked for deletion; which means only about 100 of the content pages are real content. I suggest you clean those up (most of them appear to be truly spam) and ask again when you have 200 pages on the Rolling Stones :). -- Wendy (talk) 12:40, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Doctor Who Answers (approved)[]

Hello there! I'm here requesting a second spotlight for Doctor Who Answers in order to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary which is coming up in November. We were spotlighted earlier this year during the last series and it did wonders to the amount of traffic coming to the wiki. The wiki is in as good shape as it was back then, and there is still the same problem of not fitting the stub requirement because of the format of the wiki (it being an answers wiki, answers given most of the time don't need to be long to be informative and often consist of single words or phrases when the question is specific enough), but you were fine with that last time, so I don't think it would be a problem now. I was wondering if we could get this second spotlight for the time surrounding the 23rd of November (so whatever timeslot we could be put in which would allow about equal time in the spotlight before and after that date, if that's possible). I am also wondering if the spotlight could point to a blog post instead of the main page of the wiki. If this is possible, can I give you the URL of the blog later (still haven't written it yet as I am unsure of your response, and also because I want to give maximum time for community ideas as to what to include in it. Also don't want the blog to be open too long before the 50th, as it is meant to open to celebrate that time)? Thank you. If you do grant this spotlight request, could you please use this image and the caption "Celebrating 50 years in the TARDIS". Thanks in advanced, Imamadmad (Contact me) 07:40, October 10, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Dr. Who Answers looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. I am not sure we can redirect the spotlight to a blog post without the blog post -- usually we submit the URLs at the same time as the artwork, which should be later today. However, if not, perhaps you can add a large link from your mainpage for people. -- Wendy (talk) 13:00, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki (approved)[]

Ahoy! I'm JoshuaCoalskul, one of the Administrators at the Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki. Despite Pirates Online closing, the community has decided to move on and expand the wiki. We are going to start covering content over Pirates of the Caribbean: Isles of War, a new Facebook App/Game published by Disney. We would like to highlight this expansion with a spotlight.

  • The wiki has 2,758 page with 0 of them being stubs.
  • The main page of the wiki has multiple picture, and clear links to the most important content.
  • The wiki has a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page is in a category. There are no un-categorized pages.
  • The wiki uses the Wikia welcome tool, signed by Administrators.
  • The wiki has a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity.
  • The wiki has a customized skin.
  • The wiki does not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. The Abuse Filter prevents such actions from occurring.

Thank you for your time and consideration. ~ JoshuaCoalskull Message Wall 03:15, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

SpongeBob SquarePants[]

Hello. I plan to wait for w:c:spongebob to get an adoption. We have 4,865 content pages, of which 970 (about 19.9%) are stub-size. The main page was protected from non-admins in 2012 because there were several spam editors. It's possible that we could change it with the admins support. CalzoneManiac (talk) 09:32, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, it would be good to try lowering the main page protection so it only blocks new and unregistered users. You also have some uncategorized pages that need to be straightened out. Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those two things and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 13:39, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Ratchet & Clank wiki (approved)[]

Hello. I'm administrator at the Ratchet & Clank wiki. I believe we meet all the criteria for a spotlight. A spotlight would be particularly beneficial in my opinion as a new game, Ratchet & Clank: Into the Nexus, will be released soon. --Hunterj | My talk 17:15, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

SpongeBob Fanon Wiki[]

Hello, I am ChrisGriffinXx, a sysop of the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki. We've recently had a couple of users move to the Referata version of this wiki, which is why I am nominating this for a spotlight. We have 6,603+ pages on this wiki, and only a fraction of the pages are stubs. This is for all SpongeBob fans who have their own ideas!

ChrisGriffinXx (talk) 15:10, October 23, 2013 (CST)

Hi. I'm sorry to hear you have been losing users for your wiki. SpongeBob Fanon Wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight. There are nearly 600 uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out. The mainpage also has quite a few redlinks -- those should either be replaced with real pages or unlinked. Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 02:45, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

77 Days Wiki (approved)[]

Hi there! This is Green Zubat here, bureaucrat of the 77 Days Wiki (a.k.a. Pronunciation Book Conspiracy Wiki) for which I am officially requesting a spotlight. We're a small but growing wiki devoted to the mysterious 77 Days countdown on the YouTube Channel Pronunciation Book, and everything related to it. I believe we fufil the following criteria, listed below:

  • The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. - That would be me.
  • The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki. - The wiki has 212 articles, 4 of which are under 300 bytes.
  • The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism. - The main page fulfils all of this. It is protected to prevent new & unregistered users from editing (and admins only for renaming) as someone did delete the main page, and we don't want to run the risk of future vandalism, though we can lower the protection level if required.
  • The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty). - Special:UncategorizedPages is empty.
  • The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - Though we are always on the lookout for future admins, our current team is stable, able and devoted, and the wiki isn't going through any major changes.
  • The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) - Got it.
  • The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We have this.
  • The wiki should have a customized skin. - This was one of our earliest features; check any page.
  • The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Our policy clearly shows that we do not allow either of these things by users. However, some of the characters in our topic area's fictional universe do swear, and as trascripts of what said characters say are sometimes necessary, swearing may necessarily appear on the wiki in this context.

Tardis (approved)[]

Hey, Wendy! If ComDev haven't already planned to do a Spotlight for w:c:tardis for the week before and after 23 November, then I'd like to request one for Tardis. Here's the artwork, already at Spotlight size, with easy bottom space for adding a caption. Good captions might include:

  • The day of the Doctor is upon us (line 2) Get ready at our Doctor Who wiki
  • #SaveTheDay, Celebrate #DW50 (line 2) Come to the party at our TARDIS! (this uses the BBC's official Twitter hashtags)
  • Wait no longer to #SaveTheDay (line 2) Celebrate #DW50 at our Doctor Who wiki
  • The only way #SaveTheDay is to know the past (line 2) Study Doctor Who's history at Tardis!

I say the week "before and after" since the 3D theatrical release of the special is on the 25th, and that may be the first time many people will have seen it. Thus, Wikia are likely to get a lot of people "high on Doctor Who" in that whole 22-26 November period.

I know there's a pending request for a month-long Spotlight for w:c:drwho.answers, and as an admin at both wikis, I feel obliged to ask questions at this point more than offer a preference. The essential issue is whether we — and by 'we", I mean here "Wikia, Inc." — want to handle marketing during this critical period.

I don't know the answers, but I can pose the questions for you:

  • Should we have "clean" marketing lines, and funnel all traffic into a single, "flagship" Doctor Who wiki for the big event?
  • Should we have both Spotlights running concurrently to show off the two differing wiki concepts at a moment when a lot of Wikia visitors will be interested in the topic?
  • Should we simply allow DWA to have the spotlight alone, since there are other, more robust marketing elements working in Tardis' favour?
  • Is this all a moot point anyway, because you simply don't allow a single wiki to have a month-long Spotlight?

I honestly don't know which path serves Wikia's interests best, so I leave it up to you to decide. czechout    fly tardis 20:28: Mon 04 Nov 2013

Hi. I can't answer all your questions as I do not know what the community development team has planned for Doctor Who later this month. The Doctor Who Answers spotlight is approved to be up for the full month so it will cover the appropriate time period. As far as I know there is no difficulty with having both wikis spotlighted at the same time; in fact it seems to me that it would work well to have both types of wiki highlighted. I've gone ahead and approved Tardis Wiki for a spotlight. Spotlights go up at the beginning and middle of the month, so if it is included in the next batch it would be up for the week before and after the 23rd as you wanted; however I cannot guarantee the timing... there is a chance it may slip to the December 1st slot. -- Wendy (talk) 04:27, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

Ferry Boat Fred[]

Hi I'm ElsbridgeStationFan1995 and I would like to submit the ferry boat fred wiki for the wiki spotlight. We are a wiki about an Australian show and have most of the content we can find, we have 84 pages because since this show is old there isn't much information about the people involved. We also have everything well categorised and searchable. We also come fourth in the google search for ferry boat Fred without wiki in the title so please consider us for the spotlight.

Halo Fanon Wiki (approved)[]

Greet'ns. I'm one of the new administrators over at HF, and after recent efforts made by our userbase that resulted in a complete cleaning-out of all uncategorized pages and a complete clean-up of all our 17,000+ pages, I think we're ready to ask for a wikia spotlight. New user in-flow's been a little slow for a long while now, and we could use some promotion to give us some fresh blood. Thanks for your consideration, That Damn Sniper

Hi. Halo Fanon Wiki is in good shape -- good job cleaning it up! For a spotlight we would ask that you also drop the main page protection to only block edits by anonmyous and new users (the move protection can remain at sysop level). Please let me know on my wall when you have done that and I'll be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 13:57, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hello Wikia, I would like to submit Gongjin’s Campaign Memorials for a spotlight place. It's been spotlighted before, I believe in 2010, but since that's been a while I was hoping it was possible to be spotlighted again. The wiki has improved a lot since, imo! Also, if you approve my request, can you please pick a pic from our history section?

Jessie Wiki[]

Hi! The Jessie Wiki really could use a spotlight! The show JESSIE is going to have a Christmas crossover special with the hit Disney Channel series, Good Luck Charlie. We are going to be doing big things on our wiki and we want to spotlight the wiki in honor of the crossover. We would like you to use this picture:

Jesglc 110513

I would appreciate it if instead of having "Jessie Wikia" as the title if you instead made it "Good Luck Jessie" or "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas". One of those two would be greatly appreciated.

Then as the tagline underneath I would like it to say "This Christmas, Jessie will need a lot of 'good luck.'"

If you cannot make the title Good Luck Jessie" or "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas" and it has to be "Jessie Wikia" then just make the tagline underneath "See Good Luck Charlie and Jessie in a Christmas crossover!"

But seriously if you can do the "Good Luck Jessie" title, please do it.

Our wiki fits all of the criteia. I need this spotlight up at the latest by November 22nd because the special is nearing very fast.

Thank you!

~JESSIE1010

Hi. I'm sorry but spotlights cannot be requested on such short timescales. If you are still interested in the spotlight there are a few tweaks the wiki would need to meet the spotlight criteria. The main page edit protection would need to be dropped to only protect against edits by unregistered/anonymous users. There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted. And then you have nearly 100 pages marked for deletion; all of those are stub-length at the moment. Please clean them up and then make sure that no more than about 50 (or 1/5th) of the remaining pages are shorter than 300 bytes. Please lelt me know on my wall when you have done thsi and i will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 14:39, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Universal Triumvirate Wiki (approved)[]

Hello, I'm Nathan Maine, the main organizer of the Universal Triumvirate Wiki ([3]), and I'd like to apply for a spotlight. The wiki has 337 content pages, very few stubs, few redlinks, and few pages that are uncategorized. The category structure is decent, the main page is laid out very simply and informatively, and has a stable community (which we are eager to grow!).

Let me know if there are any questions about the wiki, as the concept is a little unusual, but I believe a spotlight would really help this community out. Thank you. Nathan Maine (talk) 21:45, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The main page looks great, and I can see you have worked hard on the wiki. The wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight however. First you would need to customize the default skin of the wiki (you can use Special:ThemeDesigner), and also add a custom message to the Community Corner. Finally there are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out. Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these things and I'll be happy to check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:02, June 12, 2013 (UTC)
  • Responding here to state that since making the original request we've significantly cut the number of stubs and redlinks, chopped uncategorized pages down about 75% to only around ten, and have implemented a customized theme. I've asked other editors to aide in further cutting down on uncategorized pages, redlinks, and stubs (we're down to only about 20 of all of those combined). I've also added a message for the Community Corner. {{SUBST:Template:Signature/Nathan Maine}}   18:36, November 19, 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for moving the request back into the queue. The wiki looks great and is almost ready for the spotlight. However you will need to categorize the last 11 pages first :). Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:34, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
All the uncategorized pages are fixed now, sorry about that. Thank you! {{SUBST:Template:Signature/Nathan Maine}}   21:38, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
Great! I'll add the wiki to the approved spotlight list then! -- Wendy (talk) 23:43, December 4, 2013 (UTC)

Lord of Ultima Wiki[]

The Lord of Ultima Wiki is a wiki about the game Lord of Ultima, a browser based game by Electronic Arts Phenomic Studios. We provide information on the game for its many players. I am looking for some new users, editors, and possibly some new administrators to help lighten my workload. Please consider giving us a spotlight.

William (Talk), Bureaucrat of the Lord of Ultima Wiki 23:03, November 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Lord of Ultima Wiki looks great. Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted through this request page, it would need to meet all of the spotlight criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content pages. Please feel free to ask again when you have had a chance to expand the wiki a bit more and can meet all the spotlight criteria! -- Wendy (talk) 03:39, December 4, 2013 (UTC)

UK Charts Archive Wiki (approved)[]

I am a beaurocrat on the UK Charts Archive Wiki but we only have 3 active editors. Our wiki is just over a year old with over 3,500 pages, and archives many UK music charts, games and much more. By having our wiki on the spotlight, it will increase the amount of editors we have and would help our wiki grow. Our research suggests that many people are interested in chart archives, but they don't know about our wiki.

Hotchoc26 (talk) 20:00, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The UK Charts Archive Wiki looks great. For a spotlight it would need the mainpage edit protection dropped to only prevent edits by anonymous users and new accounts. Please let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 04:03, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
Added! -- Wendy (talk) 23:37, December 4, 2013 (UTC)

The VideoGameDatabase Wiki (approved)[]

A wiki all about video games. It's got everything you need and with the help of a spotlight should have even more. http://thevideogamedatabase.wikia.com/wiki/TheVideoGameDatabase_Wiki Xboxandrotr (talk) 20:35, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The VideoGameDatabase Wiki looks good. However, for a spotlight it would need a couple of tweaks. There are a small number of uncategorized pages. You also have nearly 300 pages marked as stubs; please work on reducing that to only 1/5th of your content, or about 270 pages total. Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 05:15, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for cleaning up the stubs; I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 06:53, December 23, 2013 (UTC)

The Minecraft Computer Wiki (approved)[]

This wiki revolves around the computer edition of Minecraft, a sandbox game bought by millions of players. We have had a spotlight before, in September or October, but we are requesting a relatively short one now as well. Link: [4] SilverHexxitFights (talk) 16:29, December 3, 2013 (UTC) and Honeyfern081501 (talk) 16:29, December 3, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. The wiki is still in good shape and I have added it to the approved spotlight list for a 2nd spotlight. -- Wendy (talk) 05:28, December 4, 2013 (UTC)

Minecraft Fan Ideas Wiki (approved)[]

The Minecraft Fan Ideas wiki is a wiki for users to share their ideas of what should be added to the record-breaking sandbox game Minecraft. Each individual has the chance to make their own "idea pack," a group of ideas that all go together. Users can link or even merge their idea packs, and everyone has fun dreaming up ideas! Here's the link: http://minecraftfanideas.wikia.com

Best,

Hi, my name is Dosadnik, but you can call me Dos. I am one of the admins on TOR Wiki and I would like to request the we are added to the spotlights. I am hoping that it will help to bring more contributors to the wiki since currently there aren't that many. I checked out the requirements and I believe we fit the bill, but if i am wrong just tell me and I will work on the issues. Thanks in advance. Dosadnik 1 (talk) 21:26, December 11, 2013 (UTC)

Anchorman Wiki[]

Hello, I'm MrAwesome300. I found that there is a wiki for the film series Anchorman that has been left abandoned and I have helped it and added on to pages. Categories, photos, and articles are all there. And just in time for its highly anticipated sequel, I would like to request a spotlight for Anchorman Wiki, please. http://www.anchorman.wikia.com/

Thanks,


MrAwesome300 Talking is nice! 20:51, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I'm glad you found a wiki about a movie series you like! Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted through this page, the wiki would need to meet the spotlight criteria, including at least 200 content pages. Please keep building your wiki and feel free to ask again! -- Wendy (talk) 05:23, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

United States Counties Wiki (approved)[]

Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, adminstrator and founder of the United States Counties Wiki. I have chosen the wiki to be on the spotlight because:

  • Main page protection there is set to all users except unregistered and new users.
  • Our wiki has 1,440 pages of which 279 (19.44%) are stub sized. Weeks of work in this area have finally paid off.
  • Our wiki has clear links to the most wanted pages
  • Our wiki does not use offensive language or images, of course
  • The wiki is not in the need of choosing new admins.

Therefore, the wiki would look great on the spotlight. Also, by the way, can you use [[5]] for our spotlight icon with the top phrase "Countypedia" and the bottom phrase "Do you know your counties?" Thank you. CalzoneManiac (talk) 09:01, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Countypedia looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 05:31, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I am an admin at VS Battles Wiki(http://vsbattles.wikia.com/wiki/VS_Battles_Wiki). I am here asking for the opportunity for our wiki to be spotlighted. We currently have 430 pages and counting. Thank you. Yukimura Sanada (talk) 04:51, December 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Vs Battles Wiki looks pretty good. You do have a bunch of uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 05:37, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for sorting those out. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 05:27, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

RWBY Fanon (approved)[]

  • Hello! I am an admin on the RWBYFanon wiki! And I do the majority of outside affairs. We are a large community, with over 1,300 pages.
  • The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. -I am an admin, and have been for around 2 months!
  • The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki. - We have over 1,300 pages total.
  • The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism. - The main page has been unlocked for the Wikia Spotlight, it is usually admin only protected.

  • The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - We are done with promotions for a while, we have 5 admins and 5 chat mods, so we are set.
  • The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) - We have that!
  • The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We do have this, and we try to update it monthly.
  • The wiki should have a customized skin. - We are one of the few wikis I know of with a wisible background, we also have complex Css. Though, with the new update, some of our users cannot see the background.

​{{SUBST::User:DragonBossGala/sig}}

Hi. It looks like there are still about 40 uncategorized pages. Could you please sort those out? Let me know on my wall when you are done and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 05:46, December 18, 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for taking care of those -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 06:17, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Game Cloud (Approved)[]

Hi,

I'm the founder of Game Cloud Wiki. Each page of the wiki is a video game. The data a contributor type on a page is read by JavaScript to render a playable game like this:

Playing Castle on the Game Cloud
  • The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. - I am the founder!
  • The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki. - We have over 215 pages of content and no stub!
  • The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism. - The main page features a picture and a video, links to the most important content and links to the help pages. The main page is not sysop-protected.
  • The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty). - All the pages would be categorized if it was technically possible. Unfortuneately, we can't have a page with a category and a working JavaScript game on it. To solve the problem, the content of the wiki is sorted on the main page.
  • The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - We have 3 admins, so we are set.
  • The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) - We have that! We also always leave a human message to the newcomers.
  • The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We do have this too.
  • The wiki should have a customized skin. - We have customized the background and other things in the CSS. All the images have been made by us.
  • The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Porn type images are punishable by ban, and excessive swearing in a character article is frowned upon.

For the spotlights, you can use the two following images:
Game Cloud spotlight large Game Cloud spotlight square
...with the following text: "Each page is a wikified video game".

Sam and Cat Wiki (approved)[]

I'm an bureaucrat on the Sam and Cat Wiki and I'd like an opportunity to be spotlighted. The show starts back up again on January 4 and there's a big special airing on January 18 so we're trying to time this to coincide with that so the spotlight will have the biggest effect based on my co-bureaucrat's experience with spotlights. I've gone over the best practices point by point with my co-bureaucrat, ArianaGrandeForever and made sure we meet the criteria. She also told me that we need to request an image and a caption, so I'm requesting the use of this image with the caption "Sam and Cat return in January along with some old friends." Thank you. 3cooldog92 (talk) 04:01, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Sam and Cat Wiki looks great and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. Unfortunately the spotlight will probably go live at the end of January -- hopefully that is ok! -- Wendy (talk) 02:17, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Staff, and I am Dragonknight86, an admin at Despicable Me Wiki.

Prime Numbers Wiki (approved)[]

Welcome to Prime Numbers Wiki! In this wiki, we will post all the prime numbers that are in a range of 100. Here, we can even post videos of our own, summarizing the page, e.g. showing the prime numbers on 1-100, the difference between prime and composite numbers, and many more about the topic. Even the Sieve of Eratosthenes will help us show the correct way of showing primes. Come, join now! Making links will be a great way to show the proof of why it is prime; just give a subjective detail of the number, e.g. this number is prime because it is not divisible by 2, then show the answer. Dead-end links will make our wiki a rotten one, so please add some links to those numbers. We can even make a bunch of pages!

Requirements[]

How many active admins?: 3 (Blueeighthnote, 3primetime3 and Julianthewiki [me])
How many content pages: 234 (33 pages shorter than 300 bytes, making almost 1/7 of it)
How many main page pictures: 16 (1 featured user, 2 Sieve of Eratosthenes [actually duplicate, 1 is in main page slider, 1 is in home table], 10 on a slideshow)
Is the main page sysop protected? No
Is the Special:Uncategorizedpages empty? Yes
Are we using the welcome tool? Yes
Do we have a customized message on Recent Wiki Activity? Yes, and we use it for monthly speeches for 5 admins.
Do we have a customized skin? Yes, and it looks like oasis, but we placed a picture "2, 3, 5" and we have a graphic wordmark, too.
Are we using offensive language? No, it is rare in PNW since there not much users there.

Position on the wiki: Founder/Prime Minister, Bureaucrat, Sysop/Admin/PNW Employee

Magical Girl (Mahou Shoujo - 魔法少女) Wiki (approved)[]

Hello! i am the founder of this Magical Girls Wiki. At this moment i have 228 and almost all has enough content. There are customized background, logo, templates, cursors, etc. I am working every day (when i have free time), im creating new pages, adding informations, pictures, etc. But there are infinite tasks to do for every Magical Girl show (writting plots, characters, episode list, movies, merchandise, etc...) and i'm almost alone (there are 2 users helping a little bit), it's because i need the spotlight. I think, with my work and the help of all, this site can be the most complete wiki of the Magical Girl genre. Thanks

—This unsigned comment is by Brandonbaker01 (wallcontribs). Please sign your comments by adding "~~~~" in the source editor.

Hi. DC Comics Media Wiki is in nice shape in general, but it will need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria. The biggest one is probably the mainpage, which needs to have some links to the most important content (some sort of portal-type entry to characters, movies, etc. You may want to check out Marvel Movies Wiki's mainpage for ideas on stuff you might add.) You would also need to customize the community corner. Please let me know on my wall when you have done this and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:45, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
