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.
It's been a little over half a month since the movie's been released, but still, stay careful on the wiki and don't accidentally spoil yourself if you haven't seen it yet! Anyway, we loved the part where R.O.B. grew large and threatens to destroy the galaxy with an NES Zapper, causing the Star Fox Team to shoot down his glowing Stack-Up blocks to power him down for good! What? That's just the scenario from the Star Fox microgame from WarioWare Smooth Moves? Shoot, we went to the wrong theater, didn't we? While we ask for refunds from the Yoshi Theater, let's go over last month's focuses.
Progress was pretty good last month. TheCatLover738 (talk) picked up a writing instrument to make music, SuperGamer18 (talk) charted the missing portion of The Farthest Edge of Space, we can say good job to ThePowerPlayer (talk) for adding an image to "Good Job!", and 1468z (talk) completed the image gallery for the San-ei Co., Ltd. All-Star Collection! Only List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam hints and Peachette were left incomplete.
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| There's no better time to write about the Twisten Sprout now that we're in the midst of the spring season. We're not requiring you to dance while creating the article, but it might help. (By the way, did you know there's like five other things in this franchise named after "Twist and Shout"?) | ||
| As the first official to-do list focus, it's pretty hefty. A good number of arrangements aren't listed in the article yet, primarily from the Mario vs. Donkey Kong and Super Smash Bros. series. Bring your A game and start finding these arrangements. | ||
| The Silver Dice Block needs an image from its appearance from Mario Party: Star Rush. Unlike the game's title, there's no rush here (well maybe there is, this focus is only here for a month). Related to this request, Bronze Dice Block needs a similar image. | ||
| April is the month of April Fool's, but this is no laughing matter. This location from Bowser's Inside Story needs an image of how it appears in the remake. | ||
| The scariest thing about this image is how long this image has remained on the wiki. Replace the image with one that puts better focus on the vase in the Luigi's Mansion stage, preferably without a red circle. | ||
| Instead of looking for a citation for a dubious statement, this time we're looking to fill the last unsourced release date in the game infobox. Supposedly, the Australian Nintendo Selects release date of this game is August 27, 2015. Be a star and find a source that verifies this claim. As additional clues, Donkey Kong Country Returns and New Super Mario Bros. Wii also have the same unsourced date. |
Now just before we leave you, we'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently 49 that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2024, 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.
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!
