The 'Shroom:Issue 197/The 'Shroom Spotlight

The 'Shroom Spotlight Written by:



Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom! Hooded Pitohui here, handling the equipment for the month. Let me start by welcoming you 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.

August is the month we celebrate our community and the wiki's anniversary with our Awards ceremony. In fact, we just had our ceremonies about a week ago. In the spirit of all that celebration, and with things being a little more low-key just after Awards, I've tried to pick out some focuses this month that shouldn't be too hard to achieve, but let's see how we did last month before we get into that!

Checking in on last month's focuses, created King Kong, with  adding some additional information! It looks like we could still use an additional image from the DOS version of Mario is Missing!, but getting this article created goes to show you there isn't any monkey business here! also expanded the DK: Jungle Climber section on Flipflaps, and we now have a complete set of images for the Golden Drink page thanks to a gold-star effort from. didn't stop there, working some magic to improve this Green Magikoopa sprite from TTYD. To round off our efforts, found a source for King Boo's Crown... which only referred to the item as a generic "crown". Maybe someone will find another source for it someday, but it's a good start! With only the Origami King bestiary still in need of attention, it was a successful month last month!

Let's see if we can keep that up with this month's focuses:

Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently thirty-seven that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2018, 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 Yoshi876 on his 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!
