The 'Shroom:Issue 201/The 'Shroom Spotlight
Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom, and welcome to Spotlight. Spotlight is a community project which aims to fix up the articles on the wiki which have issues. These issues can range from poor writing, to a lack of images, to even just needing a credible source.
It's been quite a year for the wiki, especially in just the past couple of months. The movie came out, the final three waves of the Booster Course Pass released, and we got a drastically different 2D Super Mario game, a new WarioWare game, and a remake of Super Mario RPG! I hope the year treated you as well as it did for Mario. Anyways, to help wind down from the last issue and to do my part of keeping holiday stress low, these focuses are on the simpler side. Before we get into them, let's review last month's focuses.
Only half of the focuses were taken care of this time, including one of the newly introduced focuses. I'll take the blame on that since it would have taken a lot of file uploads to complete the two list focuses. But, it wasn't all so bad. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) added the information about the battle with Buzzar to the article, ToxicOJ (talk) gave every section in Yoshi's Song a music sample, and Archivist Toadette (talk) removed the false claim about Mario's jump in Super Mario Sunshine.
And now onto this month's focuses:
Article | Category | Focuses |
---|---|---|
Did you know mochi is a traditional food for the Japanese New Year? Let's give this final WarioWare: Twisted! souvenir an article in time for the celebration. | ||
Unlike the section covering references in the movie, the section covering the differences from the games isn't as comprehensive. With the movie available on many services, it should be easy to look for those differences. | ||
The section covering Mario Kart Tour is currently very hard to parse. The variants are separated from their respective skills, leading to a large block of text. An example of how this should look can be found in the "History of Mario" article. | ||
Nothing says winter better than a a cozy cabin to stay in, and this is one cabin I would like to know what it looks like on the inside. | ||
I've learned my lesson and and reduced the number of files that need to be uploaded overall. This time, three sections of this article need accompanying music samples. | ||
The station itself is neglected and dilapidated, but that doesn't mean its article should be as well. Like the Smorg, the trivia points should be reduced. |
Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently thirty-six that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2020, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. Additionally, there are many unresolved discussions that we would love to see come to some sort of conclusion. Some might have already concluded and just need the template removed, others have been waiting for a response for years.
Thanks for tuning in to the newest edition of The 'Shroom Spotlight! Be sure to turn up next month, where we'll be reviewing the progress on the above focuses. If you have any questions or suggestions about this month's set of the article focuses, then please get in touch through the dedicated topic if you have a forum account. If not, then please contact me on my talk page, but you are far more likely to get a quick response if you go through the forums. You are also welcome to make suggestions on what you think we could focus on in our next edition! Thank you, and good luck!
