The 'Shroom:Issue 160/The 'Shroom Spotlight

The 'Shroom Spotlight Written by:



Hello 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.

Welcome to July's edition of Spotlight. And as you can tell, we're doctors this month, and as such our Spotlight focuses aren't actually focuses, but are instead patients. So, please treat them with the care and compassion you would anyone else. Their conditions (needing an additional source, better quality writing) may not be terminal, but they still need our utmost care.

And as an old doctor, I can't always provide that necessary care, and so I'm looking to bring on a new intern. Yes, Spotlight is officially hiring a co-director for the project. You will be sharing responsibilities with myself for getting each edition of Spotlight created, that includes an introduction, recap of last month and choosing the focuses. There will also be responsibilities in updating necessary pages and the forum topic, as well as interacting with users about improving the tagged articles. Think you're up for the job? Then, send in your application now!

As for recaps, we had a pretty successful month last time, getting just over 50% of everything completed. Although River Piranha Plant and [[media:Sluggers Tornado Swing.jpg|Sluggers Tornado Swing.jpg]] weren't touched, we did manage to get everything else completed. So, created Kamek's Curse, thus lifting it from me and also handled the other routes for River Survival;  rewrote Chomp Ruins to an acceptable standard;  added a proper layout section to Pipeline Boom Lagoon, and even got Mount Must Dash as well, and  added an image of Gold Lakitu for Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, although we still need one for New Super Mario Bros. 2.

And now onto this month's focuses:

Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently nineteen that need to be implemented, one of which dating back to 2015, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. I would also like to briefly highlight the trivia section on New Super Mario Bros. Wii, although it doesn't have a trivia tag on it, it is still fairly long and could do with some parts being moved or removed.

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 myself on my wiki 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!
