The 'Shroom:Issue 217/The 'Shroom Spotlight
The 'Shroom Spotlight
Written by: RHG1951 (talk) and Technetium (talk)
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. And boy, do we know the importance of credible sources, having informed you of the very real Mushroom Kingdom Hearts and Mario Kart 11. Before going over this month's focuses, let's review the ones for last month.
Sparks (talk) created Heroine Quiz!, Sentient freedom (talk) added the locations of all 144 Puzzle Pieces for Puzzle Piece (Super Princess Peach), ThePowerPlayer (talk) leapt at the opportunity and added images of Pea Frog in its normal and inflated states, and LadySophie17 (talk) cleared up File:MLPIT E. Gadd the Younger.png with a new screenshot. That leaves the focuses for Yakuman DS and Taj unfulfilled. Unfortunate, as we still don't know mahjong very well.
...Hmm, what do you mean there was something about Partrick last month? Not sure what you're talking about, but Scrooge200 (talk) did upload a higher quality image of him.
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| As great as the 'Shroom Spotlight is, the main problem Bowser's Castle has isn't its wiki page, but its lack of interior lighting. Nothing it can do there. It seems we must put the Spotlight on a different spotlight—the object from Super Mario World! Brighten things up by making it an article. | ||
| April showers bring May flowers. However, it seems the rain has gone missing! Find where Rainbi goes after Chapter 7 so we'll have plenty of flowers next month...and one less stub article. | ||
| This article just needs a little bit more work until it's ready to emerge from its chrysalis. It should be rewritten to be clearer and further explain the difference from regular Wisdurm. | ||
| With Donkey Kong finally receiving a new game, a 3D platformer at that, we find it only appropriate to shine a light on Donkey Kong 64. Ironically, we need a new version of the Player's Choice version of the box art that doesn't have a camera flash on it. | ||
| Thanks to an inconvenient "paah", Technetium's turned into oranges! The only way to turn her back to normal is for another "paah" to play. The only hope we have is if someone uploads the samples of the sound effects that act as "Paah"s in the New Super Mario Bros. Wii and U tower and castle themes. | ||
| This focus is sure to take you on an Easter egg hunt. Can you find where it's stated that the eggs in the SNES version of Wario's Woods are called "Creature Eggs"? |
Now just before we leave you, we'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently 35 that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2021, 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. There are also thousands of articles with unsourced foreign names. They are found within this category, so please help out and add sources for them. Lastly, there are thousands of files that are missing Aboutfile descriptions. Help make the wiki more accessible by adding some!
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 us on either RHG's talk page or Technetium's 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!
