The Classic Car Wiki (Approved)
Hey there,

I am Founder of the Classic Car Wiki. The wiki is around 18 months old now and has close to 5000 pages. I would like to request another spotlight as despite everything the number of people editing and visiting the wiki has been declining.

Can I please request that you use this for the spotlight.

James May (talk) 16:19, April 14, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Classic Cars Wiki is generally in really good shape.  It would need a couple of tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  The main page protection would need to be lowered to only protect against edits by anonymous users and new accounts (this would have stopped the only vandalism I see in the page history, but if it becomes a problem you can raise it again.)  The other thing is that you have a few uncategorized pages that need sorting.  Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those two things and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:13, April 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added the wiki to the list! -- Wendy (talk ) 01:38, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Eurovision Song Contests Wiki
I'm Yugimuto1 and I'm an admin at the Eurovision Song Contests Wiki. It should say, "Find out more about the next contest in Malmo!"
 * Hi. Eurovision Song Contest looks like a fun wiki.  However in order to be spotlighted through this page it would need to meet our Spotlight Criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content pages.  Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has had a chance to grow a bit!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:19, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

A.N.T. Farm Wiki (approved)
A.N.T. Farm Wiki — 385 content pages, 110 active editors, low number of stubs and short articles, uncategorized pages is empty. – Confession0791 (talk • contribs)  18:22, April 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. A.N.T. Farm Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:47, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey Wendy! Sorry about coming in late and all, but I would like to add a photo. I usually do it, but I have been inactive. Thanks!


 * Here is the photo. Thank you :) -- Evanf  (Talk) 23:46, May 18, 2013 (UTC)

Heartbeat Wiki (approved)
I would like to request a spotlight for the Heartbeat Wiki, as we are approaching the 2nd Year anniversary of the wiki on May 10th, 2013. The wiki meets all the criteria Regards, Jsteel7 (Talk), Admin NSW Trains Wiki 05:06, April 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * I, Jsteel7, am an active admin, having recently adopted the wiki
 * The wiki has 645 pages, of which 110 (less than a fifth) are less than 300 bytes
 * The main page has plenty of images and is blocked against anonymous and new edits only
 * Every page is catergorized
 * We are not choosing any new admins at the moment
 * The Wiki welcome tool is signed with @latest
 * There is a custom message in the community corner
 * The wiki has a customized skin
 * We do not use innapropriate or rude language or use rude images
 * For the spotlight image, I would like to use this image
 * We would like a message such as 'Come visit the resource for all things Heartbeat


 * Hi. Heartbeat Wiki is in excellent shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  In terms of the image you suggest, is there a larger version of the picture?  Generally that works best, and then they crop it down for the spotlight.  Also, in general the name of the wiki is going to be right under the image; are you sure you want it in the image also?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:56, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Mazinger Wiki (approved)
Good evening community central. I am the founder, and presently only admin of the Mazinger Wiki. I would like to get more editors for the wiki and would like to request a spotlight. The wiki follows all of the guidelines needed for such. I would like some assistance after coming so far. If I have missed anything important for a spotlight, please inform me and I will fix the problem post-haste. I would very much like to reach people with information on the franchise, especially in the countries where it is popular. I do not expect the best results, but I do expect some sort of results. Thank you for your time, and I will be listening to what you have to say. Oh and here is the link to the main page: http://mazinger.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page.Zeromaro (talk) 00:19, April 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. You've done a great job building up the Mazinger Wiki in a short time!  The only thing I see that it would need for a spotlight is some slightly better navigation. Perhaps you could customize the menu at the top (Mediawiki:Wiki-navigation) and also add some links on the main page to major content areas (eg. manga, anime, characters, etc.).  Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:04, May 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Added! -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:41, May 10, 2013 (UTC)

Snafu Comics Wiki (approved)
Hello comic fans. Have you already heard about Snafu Comics? Maybe you know the famous webcomics like; Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, Grim Tales, Sugar Bits and Skull-Boy. I'm the admin of the wiki and we are in need of more editors. People really love to speculate in the forums about what is coming next and some pages need to go more into detail. Here is the link to the website. Thank you! DarKingdomHearts (talk) 14:34, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

And here is the status of the best practices.
 * I'm the admin and founder of the wiki;
 * We have 860 pages on the wiki;
 * The home page is in my opinion very beautiful. It has feature things, a slideshow, a poll and information.
 * Every page ha multiple categories. Even made the categories more specific for each character, item and location recently.
 * Already chose admins.
 * You get a message from an admin when contributing to the wiki.
 * The admins are mentioned in the community message.
 * We don't have an own skin, but like it the way it is now.
 * Message with curses and such are immediately deleted by the chat moderators. The wiki does feature some seducing pictures of girl (but no nudity).


 * Hi. Snafu Comics Wiki looks good for the most part. There are a small handful of uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:11, May 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for cleaning those up - I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:05, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hi my name is cinder. I'm an admin of SCRPW. We are in need of some new users and I really want it to be a spotlight

About

 * warrior cats
 * rp

Please Consider. Thanks ~   C  i  n  d  z  e  r  02:00, April 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Cinder. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted through this request page, a wiki needs to meet our spotlight criteria.  One of those is to have at least 200 non-stub (longer than 300 byte) content pages.  StormClanRP Wiki looks really good -- I love the customization, but it is not quite big enough yet for a spotlight. Please feel free to ask again when it has grown a bit more.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:17, May 8, 2013 (UTC)

GTA Myths Wiki
Hello I am requesting a spotlight for the GTA Myths Wiki. We have a gained popularity and have added many more users. 99% of the pages are categorized and well organized. A spotlight would be great to help this wiki grow even more. Thank you.--Sasquatch101 (talk) 01:38, April 22, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. GTA Myths Wiki looks great -- I love the skin!  Unfortunately in order to be spotlighted through this requests page, a wiki needs to have 200 non-stub content pages.  Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has grown a bit more!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:07, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

The Video Game Database Wiki (approved)
Hey! I have a wiki that covers everything from video games to A-Z and I wanted to celebrate by putting it up for a spotlight. thevideogamedatabase.wikia.com/wiki/TheVideoGameDatabase_Wiki Xboxandrotr (talk) 01:11, April 25, 2013 (UTC)

WWII Wiki
Hello,

I would like to put in a request for the WWII Wiki. Editors are needed and there hasn't been enough traffic to support the need. We are also attempting to earn a solid place on the WAM board so new editors will be well appreciated!

For the spotlight, is it possible for the picture at the right along with the caption "Come join the fight!" to be used?

02:12,4/26/2013 02:12, April 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. WWII Wiki is in generally great shape.  The one issue I see for a spotlight is that you have over 300 pages marked as stubs; that number would need to be less than 150 (or less than 1/5th of your total content).  Please work on either expanding those pages or unmarking those that are no longer truly stubs and let me know when you have reduced the number so I can check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:15, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

MHFanon (approved)
I would like to have Monster Hunter Fanon as a spotlight. I'm an administrator there, in fact the most active one, and we've recently finished staff changes. We're ready with open arms for new contributors! :)

Our main page is protected, but MHFanon has a somewhat strong history of spammers and vandals, so we take precautions.

Any staff who would like to contact us MHF admins directly can use our Administrator Board or our talk pages. Master Ceadeus  16:55, April 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. MHFanon is in fairly good shape, but you do have quite a few uncategorized pages.  Please sort those out and let me know on my wall so I can check again! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Pound Puppies (2010) Wiki (approved)
http://poundpuppies2010.wikia.com/wiki/Pound_Puppies_2010_Wiki 234 pages, very few stubs, strong "title" page, Lots of information on many characters, episodes, and the show itself (plus a desperate need for the show to get fans!) Has about three other admins (excluding me, the founder) PoundPuppies10fan1 (talk) 11:39, May 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Pound Puppies (2010) Wiki looks good.  Could you please customize the community corner on the wiki activity page?  Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:17, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hi there. I am suprised that this wiki hasn't already been spotlighted. It has over 7,500 pages and about 300 edits a week. It has a lot of information and mostly all the pages are perfect.

 * Hi. The wiki looks great for the most part.  You do have about 20 uncategorized pages -- could you please sort those out?

Iron Man Wiki
Hi I was wondering if the Iron Man wiki could have a spotlight. We have 200+ pages, all with categories and the other admins have already discussed this which you can see here. Anyway we would like to use the image below for our spotlight.--- The bridge is cursed 17:37, June 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki is in good shape -- the main page is very well done! For a spotlight I would need to ask you to drop the main page protection to only protect against anonymous and new user edits.  Also you have a small handful of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted.  Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list!


 * In terms of the image, it will work better if you provide the background graphics and the slogan ("Do you have what it takes to be a hero?") separately; the current version will not be legible when it is cropped/shrunk down to the size of the spotlights. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Merlin Wiki (approved)
Hi community central. I am an admin on Merlin Wiki. I would like to boost Wiki Activity and hope you will consider adding this wiki to the spotlight list as it meets all the given criteria. We have 994 pages, 12 admins and are not recruiting any new admins, a customized skin and very few stubs.

Regards,

Merlinarthur

Habbo Wiki
Hi. I'm an administrator at the Habbo Wiki. I would like to attract users to the wiki, and have them possibly join the game itself! We have a good number of contributors. And we have about 3 users with over 6000 edits (me being one of them).


 * The wiki is around 5 years old.


 * Has over 4,400 Content pages.

Please consider adding :) :<font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="0e92cf">G <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="1e92d4">h <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="2e92d9">h <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="3e92de">g <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="4e92e3">h <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="5e92e8">g <font size="4.15" face="sydnie" color="6e92ed">h <font size="2.15" face="sydnie" color="2e47aa">( <font size="2.15" face="sydnie" color="4e47aa">☎)  02:29, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Good community
 * Very customised
 * Very community oriented
 * Daily twitter updates
 * Recent site update
 * No uncategorised pages


 * Hi. Habbo Wiki has a great customized skin and I can see all the work you've put into it.  However, over 3000 of the 4400 pages are marked as stubs and a similar number are stub-length (shorter than 300 bytes).  In order to be spotlighted there should be no more than about 900 stubs.  Please work on strengthening the content you have and feel free to ask again when it is more filled-in.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:42, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Stormlight Archive
Hi, I would like to know if our wiki Stormlight Archive would qualify for spotlight, even though we don't fully qualify per your Best practices listing e.g. as we use the stub template as all round can be improved template.

I am asking because later this year the second novel in the series is about to be released and it's will be great if we get a spotlight then. --Mbg2 (talk) 06:02, June 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The only issue I see is the main page protection, which should be lowered to only block new and unregistered edits. For the rest the wiki looks ok.


 * In terms of the stubs, you have less than 90 "stub-length" pages, so the content is really ok. The issue with the "stub template" is that it is frequently a bit of a big "failure" box for the reader, and basically says "this page wasn't worth you visiting".  However, the customized phrasing you use actually works for me, and I would overlook it.  That said, if you don't want the spotlight for a few months I strongly recommend you go through the marked articles and add some information/unmark them if you could; it will make a much better viewing experience for new readers.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:52, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

The Universal Triumvirate Wiki
Hello, I'm Nathan Maine, the main organizer of the Universal Triumvirate Wiki, and I'd like to apply for a spotlight. The wiki has 337 content pages, very few stubs, few redlinks, and few pages that are uncategorized. The category structure is decent, the main page is laid out very simply and informatively, and has a stable community (which we are eager to grow!).

Let me know if there are any questions about the wiki, as the concept is a little unusual, but I believe a spotlight would really help this community out. Thank you. Nathan Maine (talk) 21:45, June 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The main page looks great, and I can see you have worked hard on the wiki. The wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight however.  First you would need to customize the default skin of the wiki (you can use Special:ThemeDesigner), and also add a custom message to the Community Corner.  Finally there are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these things and I'll be happy to check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:02, June 12, 2013 (UTC)

Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki (approved)
Hello!

I am an active administrator at the local wiki— Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki would like to apply for a spotlight.


 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki.
 * 333 content pages, only 6 in which are below 300 bytes.
 * The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.
 * It is indeed sufficient to the description.
 * The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).
 * Special:UncategorizedPages is empty. You determine if the categorization is acceptable.
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
 * Not in the middle of any uphevals.
 * The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.)
 * The tool follows this practice.
 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)
 * The community corner is customized with links and text.
 * The wiki should have a customized skin.
 * It has a customized skin.
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.
 * PG-13 profane language is in the content, but warnings of the readers' discretion is stressed on each page with such content.

As for the spotlight itself, use this image and have the text be something along the lines of "Edit the ultimate fan fiction wiki!" -- Yuzura☆ 炎のマスタ ー 01:21, June 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:58, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

POTC Wiki - for a special anniversary
To whom it may concern:

Normally, I do make long-ish posts, but because I've an appointment to keep I'll try and make it brief. Back in New Year's, we had POTC Wiki decorated with a theme used in the first movie. Why? Because we're in the process of celebrating the film's 10th anniversary. Just to be clear, it's only about the movie, not the Wiki's anniversary - I think that would happen in 2016, 10 years after the first edit on the Main Page.

Anyway, back to the matter at hand. The actual date of the anniversary is July 9, when the first film was released. We're counting down, which can also be seen on the Main Page. Until then, I intend to make 3 blogs and post them on POTC Wiki per week; the first will be posted on June 25, and the last post on July 9. That way it can be done as early as possible and we don't have to make blog posts every week of July, since the actual anniversary date is early in the month. In addition, there will be one extra blog on July 10, but this will be after so you don't have to worry about it.

For this request, I was recommended to apply for a spotlight to highlight the anniversary. Not sure if this was the right time or not (as the first blog won't be posted for the next few days or so; let alone the anniversary is weeks away)...but can't be too early, says I. Anyways, if you have any questions, of course ask me about it here or at my wall - whichever is preferred. Fair winds! :) --  C J S Fan On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 07:37, June 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Unfortunately there is no way we can get the spotlight up before July 9th, although around July 15th would be possible if I can approve the wiki soon (new spotlights go up at the middle and end of each month, and there is some lead-time to have them made up after they are approved).  The wiki is in generally good shape except for all of the templates you use marking things that need images or quotes and are stubs; together you have well most of your content pages marked in some way, and even stubs alone are more than 1/5th of the pages.  Clicking random page brings up very few pages without at least one of those templates.  Please work on cleaning out the stub categories (so that all of them combined have fewer than 500 total pages) and, if possible, some of the other "needed" categories (quotes, images, etc) should be reviewed where possible.  Let me know on my wall when you have reduced the number of stub pages and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:23, July 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Stubs can definitely be done. Quotes and images, however, are another thing. Images especially as our policy is to try and use as many official images as possible; and most of the articles that bear the image template relate to The Price of Freedom novel(which doesn't have any images, save for the cover). But reducing stubs should be easy enough, though not sure how well because there is still expanding to be done in some pages. -- C J S Fan On Stranger Tides, Arkham City 01:51, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki
I would like to request a spotlight for Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki. We fill all the requirements, then some, and I am the only active Bureaucrat. 16:26, June 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki is generally in good shape.  It would need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  First, you could you please drop the main page edit protection to only protect against anonymous users and new accounts.  The other issue is that you have 150+ uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out?

Dumbledore's Army Roleplay Wiki (approved)
I know we have spotlights in the past, but it has been quite a while. On the recent list of top wikias that was e-mailed out, ours was the #2 Roleplay wikia, and we just began another year at Hogwarts, and have other events and plot lines going. We're looking to add new users, and thought this would be a great way to entice some new users in. Thanks! 23:24, July 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki remains in good shape and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, July 24, 2013 (UTC)

Neopets Wiki (approved)
I would like to submit our Wiki for the spotlight. It's about Viacom's browser-based game Neopets. We're very small and needs lots of help, so any new members that we can get who play the game would be spectacular. Our page count is at about 1,500 right now and our articles are all categorized (though we're switching a few over to updated categories to make everything even better right now).

Cheers.

Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted through this requests page, wikis must have at least 200 non-stub pages (greater than 300 bytes and not marked with a stub template).  Please feel free to ask again when you have built out the wiki just a bit more, and can meet that and the rest of the Spotlight criteria! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:05, July 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Great to see you built the wiki up so quickly -- I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

The Amazing Everything Wiki
Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, a bureaucrat on the Amazing Everything Wiki. This wiki has over 3,500 pages, has a picture on the front page, among other things. I wish for it to be on the Spotlights list for this reason. I love stamps and I&#39;m 22. (talk) 17:19, July 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Amazing Everything wiki looks like a lot of fun.  However it does need a bit of work to meet our spotlight criteria.  There are currently a lot of uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out.  There are also too many stub/short pages; you should have no more than about 775 shorter than 300 bytes, but right now there are nearly twice that many.  Let me know when the wiki can meet all of the spotlight criteria and I'll be happy to check again!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:13, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

NightClan Roleplaying Wiki
Hi, I'm Mistybird, an admin on NightClan Roleplaying, or, NC, as most users call it. We used to be quite popular, and we've been spotlighted before when our wiki was quite inactive, and there was a huge boost in popularity, which NC needs right now. We need new users that don't just make a cat and leave - we need users to stay. That's our problem; people just join, then leave. Rainsplash987, IcewrathXFeatherswirlXCraneheart and me have all tried doing fun public activities - none have helped. Everyone signed up to do things - but never actually showed up. We have over 400 pages, and are quite popular on Warriors Fanfiction Wiki, where most of our users came from.

Thanks,

--Mistybird (talk) 15:11, July 22, 2013 (UTC)Mistybird


 * Hi. I'm glad your spotlight helped before!  The wiki is still in good shape and just needs a few tweaks for a second spotlight.  There are a small number of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  The other issue is the floating boxes on the main page -- they are actually covering the content space on smaller screen sizes.  Could you please incorporate the boxes into the main page itself rather than as floaters?  Let me know on my wall when you have finished with that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

Rating System Wiki
Hello, I am CalzoneManiac. I am known as the founder of the Rating System Wiki. We have 105 pages, of which 2 (1.904%) are under 300 bytes. We also have a customized skin, and are not in the process of choosing new admins. We also have acquired a majority of users, most of which come from the SpongeBob SquarePants, SpongeBob Fanon, among other wikis. I ask for spolights because it will increase our popularity.

Oh, and, by the way, use this image for the wiki with the caption "Indiana Jones beware..." on the top, and "The Rating System Wiki is ready to roll!" on the bottom.

Biblicalapedia (approved)
Biblicalapedia is a wiki dedicated to biblical history. We have several articles and hope to expand them and hopefully, grow our wik into a rather large one. We still have a few thigns to be done, but we would like a spotlight. i am applying for it now, but I will notify you when i'm ready for it.

Thanks Superdadsuper Biblicalapedia Administrator User Talk:Superdadsuper 19:42, July 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Biblicalapedia looks good in general.  When you are ready for a spotlight I would just request that you drop the main page protection to only block edits by new accounts and anonymous users and then let me know and I can add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:07, August 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Added! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:32, August 29, 2013 (UTC)

Pretty Little Liars Wiki (approved)
Hi! I would like to put in a request for the Pretty Little Liars wiki. It has 723 articles, only 43 of them have less than 300 bytes. As of July 25 has no uncategorized pages. The main page was protected from editing in 2011 because there were massive editing wars. We can change it if that's a problem though. Thanks for your attention. A.Darkbloom (talk) 20:03, July 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Pretty Little Liars Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. However, I will ask you to drop the edit protection so regular users can edit the main page; you can leave it protected against anons and new accounts.  2011 was a long time ago; if the problems return you can re-protect.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:14, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Nintendo Wiki
I would like to request a spotlight for the Nintendo Wiki.

http://nintendo.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_Wiki

The Nintendo Wiki is a wiki that contains all of the information that a Nintendo gamer would need. It has info on games, locations, characters, enemies, and much more. While the wiki covers all info on Nintendo, it also covers information on non-Nintendo games that are on Nintendo systems.


 * Hi. Nintendo wiki looks really good and very comprehensive.  The only issue I see is that over 4000 pages (more than 1/3rd of your content) is in your stubs category.  Please make some effort to clean that out so it only has about 2400 pages or less -- its nicer to read a website that doesn't claim every 3rd page is a stub...  Let me know when you've sorted those out and I'll check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:20, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

X-Men Movies Wiki (approved)
Can you please spotlight the wiki for The Wolverine movie? Thanks :)

<span id="User:New Captain" class="plainlinks">New Captain (talk • contribs • count) 06:38, July 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry the response was slow and we missed the movie. The wiki itself looks really good in general (love the poster on the main page with Patrick Stewart's face split by the X).  If you are still interested in a spotlight, we would need to ask that you strengthen the content of the wiki a bit.  Right now there are around 220 pages that are stub-length (shorter than 300 bytes); in order for those to be only 1/5th of your content you would need to reduce the number to 140 or so.  300bytes is only a couple of sentences so you can probably expand many of the pages you have.  Let me know on my wall if you want the spotlight and have the stubs taken care of and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:30, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

"I think it would be great to anticipate X-Men: Days of Future Past. " (copied from message wall, as the wolverine idea is outdated).


 * Thanks for straightening out the stub pages -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:24, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Berserk Wiki
Hi, I am admin on Berserk Wiki and I would like to request a spotlight. Our main page is semi protected and has many pictures, the community messages are quite long and get updated whenever a new discussion is created, the new admins/mods/rollbacks have been chosen, we have 535 pages and definitely at least 200 of them are not stubs and there are no uncategorized pages. Also we have created all the rules that wikis need and we keep getting new members. And of course we aren't using inappropriate language and images. So I believe that our wiki does deserve the spotlight. Thanks in advance. 17:56, July 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh and if we do get the spotlight, this is the picture we want to use. 18:05, July 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Berserk Wiki looks great in general, but I think you slightly mis-understood the spotlight criteria.  No more than 1/5th of the content pages can be stubs; so in your case you would need fewer than 106 pages marked as stubs (or stub-length).   Right now you have 261 pages marked as stubs.  Please work on strengthening these pages so they are at least 300bytes and not marked as stubs.  Let me know on my wall when you have finished and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:35, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Kami Nichi Wiki
Hey there. I'm requesting a spot light for Kami Nichi Wiki, for it is based of the new anime Sunday Without God (which is still currently airing). If the spot light were to go through, I'd like the image on the right hand side of this text to be used and the text to state "What would you do, in a world without God", if not that then, "A world without God"


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to request a spotlight through this page, wikis need to meet our spotlight criteria, including having at least 200 non-stub content pages.

The Breaker Wiki (approved)
Hello as a admin of the wiki, i'd like to request a spotlight for the wiki. We have less than 100 pages worth of stubs and we should meet all the required felids. 15:08, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Golden Globes Wiki
My wiki is about the Golden Globes, the nominees, and the winners. I would love if Golden Globes Wiki could be in the Spotlight. Golden Globes Wiki is not a very big wiki and it needs to attract editors. If you do not feel like putting my wiki in the spotlight, just send a wave of users here.

Wikianswers (approved)
Hello. I am a bureaucrat at Wikianswers and I would like to add a spotlight to the wiki.

There are a few things we would like to say: This is an answers site, so 750k questions can't be percentaged into stubs. The questions always fly in, but we try to keep it clean. Also, does the caution image or the little sci-fi box count as an image? If not, I have no idea what we could add. The main page is sysops protected, as we have a lot of vandalism & anon activity going on the wiki.

Thanks! 23:03, August 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hey Muud. I'm going to have to get back to you about this one.  In the past we didn't spotlight answers wikis by request, but I agree that Wikianswers would seem to meet, in its own way, the criteria for a spotlight.  If you don't hear from me again in a few days, remind me on my wall.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:55, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Chuggington Wikia (approved)
Hello, I'm an Admin of the Chuggington Wikia. I would like to request that our Wiki could be spotlighted. It has been 10 months since our last request and some special events are coming up over the next month for Chuggington. Chuggington's Fourth Series will be airing in the UK this month, aswell as Chuggington's first 30 minute special. Lastly, the end of next month will be 5 years since Chuggington's first episode in 2008.

Our last spotlight worked very well for us. Our daily viewers increased from under 750 per day to between 1000 and 2000 per day. We would like this spotlight to boost the number of users that edit here. Our Wikia should have the requirements for the spotlight, but we can quickly sort out anything that we need.

If possible may be used and can it say 'Chugging into its Fourth Series.' or 'Celebrating 5 years.'

Thanks - <font face="Arial"> JRCS  talk to me  15:28, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Mega Bloks Halo Wiki (approved)
Hello, it has been around 2 years since the Mega Bloks Halo Wiki has been in the spotlight. My wiki is in need of editors, and I hope that new users can add tons of new information on top of what we already have.

The wiki also appears to meet the criteria:
 * I, 99alextheman99 am an active admin on the wiki and also its founder.
 * The wiki is 394 pages and only 24 pages are less than 300 bytes.
 * The main page has far over 1 image, and also has clear links for the rules, images, external websites and the wiki's bigger pages.
 * Every page has a catagory (For example, all figures of the UNSC faction are under the UNSC Mini Figures catagory).
 * The wiki is currently not in the process of selecting new admins, and is stable with its current (And unfortunately not many) editors providing helpful content to the wiki.
 * The wiki does indeed use the Welcome tool.
 * The wiki does have a custom message in the Community Corner.
 * The wiki does have a custom skin.
 * The wiki is free of any offensive or inappropriate content.

Also, for the caption I would like: The popular building sets based on the Halo franshise!

And the picture: Link

Thank you in advance! - 99alextheman99 21:47, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Selena Gomez Wiki (approved)
Hello, I am ArianaGrandeForever. I request that the Selena Gomez Wiki may be spotlighted by Wikia. The wiki meets all the criteria needed for spotlighted wikis.

 * Hi. The Selena Gomez Wiki is in good shape but in order to be spotlighted, the main page protection would need to be dropped to only prevent editing by anonymous users and new accounts (mid-level protection).

Bloons Conception Wiki (approved)
Hello. Today I just want to register my wiki, Bloons Conception Wiki, to this Spotlights program. It's a large ideas wiki for the game series Bloons, and I'm the current Head Manager of that wiki. I think we've met all the requirements: So, there you have it. I really want to improve my wiki and help it get more contributors, so I want to register it for this program. Meta07 (talk) 18:12, August 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * As I said, I'm the Head Manager, and a Bureaucrat
 * The wiki currently has 1689 pages (counting stubs), with 136 shortpages, stubs are a minor problem
 * The main page of the wiki has many pictures (as you can see), each picture leads to a major category, and it's currently not protected.
 * By an adminmentor's words, the category structure of the wiki is clear enough for the wiki's theme and purposes
 * The wiki is not in the middle of any upheaval unless you count the Admin Mentor Program as one (I think you don't though)
 * The wiki is using the welcome tool with a detailed message signed by admins
 * The Community Center has had custom messages for months
 * The wiki has had a customized skin for nearly a year
 * I think the language in the wiki is not so offensive, and no image is so inappropriate


 * Hi. Thank you for taking the time to address all of the spotlight criteria in your request. Bloons Conception Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:00, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Baldur's Gate Wiki (approved)
I am an administrator of Baldur's Gate wiki and I request the spotlight to attract more visitors and eventually contributors.

This wiki has at least 1,140 pages, 200 pages of content of 2,000+ bytes which aren't stubs.

Our main page has at least one picture (slideshow) and links to the most important categories and articles. Only anomynous and new contributors can't make edits on it, due to experience in the past.

There are no pages in Special:UncategorizedPages.

The place is stable, we have no conflicts and we are not in the process of choosing any administrators.

This wiki uses the welcome tool and we have a custom message in the community center.

We have a customised skin, we have no inappropriate content and we don't use offensive language.

As for the promotion text, I don't know which is the best, so here there are a few: Here is a link to the. I don't know if it needs to be resized or if one is required without the letters.
