Choro Q Wiki
Hi there, my name is Tigernose and I am the founder of the Choro Q Wiki. We requested before and Wendy left us on a task to do, although the message was not archived and removed completely.

We were founded over a year ago, and over the year we have had a major revamp. Our already potentially large database (potential articles up to 800) has been expanded to cover the whole game series (potential articles in the thousands easily).

However, we have had an incredibly tiny userbase. Usually, there are only 2 or 3 active users in a month, although I know a huge deal of people who play the game. The problem is, the wiki isn't been worked enough to be a comfortable place to edit in. So, the only current way to get a wave of editors in, is spotlight. I feel that the sheer potential of this wiki, the amount of details it can cover is something that shouldn't be missed. We're the only fansite about the game series, and a lot of people are looking for answers all around other sites.

The thing is, we can't work on this wiki to its full potential with 2 or 3 editors. I can't do everything by myself, so hopefully a spotlight will allow everybody to contribute to this wiki easily. Our logo isn't even done properly because we don't have any users with great photo-skills.

Anyway, I am happy to work on anything that doesn't meet the criteria. We added a page a long time ago (click here) that is a spotlight for criteria. Criteria has changed, so we'll be willing to do anything to get it.

With a sufficient amount of users, this wiki could at least have 2000 articles, a main page update weekly and a substantial community. Thanks.

P.S. For the spotlight picture, I would like to make some suggestions when the time comes. Tigernose (Talk) 21:04, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another problem is, to meet some of the larger criteria, we need more users... We would like a clearer category structure, but we haven't got enough users to have a good discussion on how it would work... Tigernose (Talk) 21:09, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Starfy Wiki
Hello I am User:The Forgotten Beast, and I am one of the 3 administrators of the Starfy Wiki, and I was hoping to ask if the wiki could be approved for a spotlight? The wiki has been mostly worked on by me and my fellow admin User:Star Light, but aside from us there are no other recurring users on the wiki and we hope that with this spotlight our wiki will at least be a little more well known. We have done a lot of work on the wiki and we have more than 286 articles and we hope that we meet the requirements, if were missing anything please let us know. Thank you again for your time! - The Forgotten Beast TALK 12:45, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wiki needs a link to new images in sidebar, no uncategorized pages, and a few more things that are listed on the 'Best Practices' on the Project Page - - Smiley12 was here at 09:44, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

DeadSpace Wiki
Hello. I am Subtank, a representative of the administration team of Dead Space Wiki and would like to request a spotlight. The wiki has a current amount of 517 active articles, not including redirects, and fits all of the requirements.

Toodles!-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 00:11, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think there is a link to new images in the sidebar - - Smiley12 was here at 08:37, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Should is not equivalent to must. It is an option. Might I ask why such requirement is necessary as it is so trivial in my honest opinion.
 * Anyway, added to the sidebar. :P-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 13:54, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong visuals help direct new traffic and make the wiki appear more filled out. It takes about 30 seconds add. - - Smiley12 was here at 09:30, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

Mass Effect Fanon
Hello, I am the administrator and bureaucrat at Mass Effect Fanon. I adopted the wikia in early February and have been working hard ever since. As of this request, the wiki has 202 content pages and 687 total pages. Please know that by the time you read this, that number will be higher. Currently, there are 3 active users and sometimes newer users will stop by. I think being spotlighted will let more people see this wiki and draw in other interested people. I am always prepared to handle vandalism and know of other users who can help. The wiki has been featured on the Gaming wiki and I think a spotlight will finally let the wiki be noticed. Also, the number of stubs is usually smaller than it appears on the short pages list because I usually spend all day expanding on stubs.

I have a good rules set, and I'm building my site to be a great community wiki. I am adding awards such as user of the month and yearly awards naming some of the best articles and users. Both of these will be voted on by the community. Thank you for your consideration, -Bluethunder Contact 01:10, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

SlipKnoT Wiki
I have been franticly working, mostly alone, on the Slipknot Wiki! I have barely any contributers so mostly all of the work done has been by me and it is exhausting, I am mainly doing this to get some new contributers, I will take any requests and work on them if needed.

Planetpedia Wikia
Hello, I am the administer of Planetpedia Wikia, and I would like to request this wikia as a spotlight. There are 15 articles right now (not much). Planetpedia has info on the nine planets along with info on some extrasolar planets (I am thinking about adding more extrasolar plaents and the nine planets' moons).There is a "Did you know" section, telling you more info on a planet. 13 April, 2010 8:00pm PST

Thank you, Thomas Wonderson

Robopedia
Hey whats up? Well I'm currently an admin at Robopedia and we've put in a lot of work to make this wiki great. I think everything's in order and Id like it to get a little shine via a wikia spotlight. Please?-- 22:12, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, Robopedia needs to have NO uncategorized pages. - - Smiley12 was here at 06:40, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

Well then as soon as soon as we have no uncategorized pages I'll ask again. Thank you for your time.-- 18:01, April 13, 2010 (UTC)

The Fairly OddParents Wiki
Hello, I'd like to request a spotlight for The Fairly OddParents Wiki. We have over 920 articles and 200 images. Around 75 stubs, many of which are articles about episodes that haven't been aired for months or years. The show itself also recently had a new premiere week and is in the process of coming out with two new seasons, so this Wiki is always growing. -- Lord Beckett ( talk ) 19:43, April 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, there are still some uncategorized pages - - Smiley12 was here at 06:42, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've taken care of the uncategorized stuff. -- Lord Beckett ( talk ) 11:07, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Madness Combat wiki
Hi, I would like to request Madness Combat wiki to get a wikia spotlight. We meet all the criteria mentioned in the guidelines (I think) and the site has been growing in popularity recently. Sysop  Aggregation   Talk to me!  20:40, April 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi, your sidebar has to include a link to newly added images, every content page should also be in a category. -- Smiley12 was here at 10:07, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Wikisimpsons
Hi, I would like to request Wikisimpsons gets a spotlight. The last couple of months, we have been putting a lot of effort in to making this wiki fit for a spotlight. We now have just under 1/5 of our articles stubs, around 900 now, but these are going down daily. We also fit all other criteria as we have shown in our checklist of things to do Here.

We are quite a big wiki with around 4500 articles and in the middle of the new season of The Simpsons, now will be a good time for the spotlight to come. Plus, this year is the 20th anniversary of The Simpsons.

Thanks, ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 06:08, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, we tried unprotecting the main page but within a day, it had been vandalized again. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( Talk ) ☆ 06:09, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Winx Wikia
We have over 200 pages, and some are really great, but what we really need is more people to come register and contribute new information. We simply don't have enough users to maintain the pages, categories and images. I do what I can as an admin, but we just need more users. -- Roxy13 - Dad, I'm a fairy! 19:56, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

The Three Kingdoms Wiki
Hello, I am Zantam03 and I'm the creator of The Three Kingdoms Wiki. We currently have 225 articles though only 2 hard-working contributors. We hope the spotlight might attract more visitors and contributors to the wiki and hope you will grant us this request.

The Three Kingdoms period of ancient China (184 A.D. - 280 A.D.) is about a time when China was divided into three states; Wei, Wu and Shu. These three states fought each other to unite China under their own rulership. Throughout the years various sources have been used to determine what happened back then. Some sources are historical, some are fictitious and some are true, some contain errors. These sources are often mixed up (Wikipedia itself is a good example of this). With the help of the spotlight we hope to find contributors who would like to help us to find out, and show, what really happened some 1800 years ago.

The Godfather Wiki
Hello, my name is Don Ammand, and I'm the adminstrator of The Godfather Wiki. We have been working very hard on it for some time and have almost 700 articles, despite only having a few hard-working contributors. We would really appreciate a spotlight to attract more visitors and contributors.

Thank you very much for your consideration. AmmandtheCorsair 11:23, April 3, 2010 (UTC)

Wikitroid
Hi Wendy. Though as a wiki, Wikitroid will not be formally requesting a Spotlight until late May, we would like to know what issues we may have to fix in the time before we do ask for the Spotlight. To give you some background, we have over 2400 articles, with only around 10% of them being stubs. Though we do realize that we still have a few uncategorized pages to sort out, we have an active community that could be expanded on. So, what do you think?  R A  N  1  05:15, March 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. I go by the Spotlight Criteria.  If you can meet all of those then generally speaking there is no problem with getting a spotlight.  At anyrate, right now, Wikitroid has a few areas to work on to meet the criteria.  1) it has an excessively long sitenotice (it sould be 2 lines or less)  2)you need to add a link to recently added images in the sidebar menu 3)it looks like you have taken care of most of the uncategorized pages, but there are a few left  4) you would need to turn back on the automated wikia welcome tool and 5) You should probably finish changing the skin and doing whatever it is to the main page so the wiki is in a stable condition when the spotlight goes up.  I hope this helps you guys continue improving the wiki! —This unsigned comment is by Merrystar (talk • contribs) 01:26, 9 April 2010. Please sign your posts with  !

LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia
Hello, my name is Silver Hawx. I am one of the LPW Wiki's admins. I would like to nominate LPW eWrestling Encyclopedia for a Wikia Spotlight. LPW Wiki is dedicated to Lords of Pain Wrestling, one of the top eWrestling promotions that has been running since 2003. We have over 450 articles and nearly 1000 images. On the main page, we have featured many aspects of LPW, including Featured E-Wrestler, Featured Event, Featured Promo, Featured Championship, Featured Media (video), as well as having an In the News area. With detailed pages and inventive images, LPW Wiki is one of the most organised Wikias. I hope you accept my request. Silver Hawx 06:00, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi -- LPW Wiki looks really great -- I like the unexpected color scheme! Could you please categorize the small handful of uncategorized articles you have, and put a link to the recently added images into the sidebar?  Then I'd be happy to add it to the spotlight list.. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:04, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Firefly and Serenity Database
I would like to request a spotlight for the Firefly and Serenity Database to coincide with the release of Serenity: Float-Out, the first comic release for the series in a while, to hopefully rejuvenate the site. We're willing to do the work to get things going, so if you see anything that should be improved for us to be considered, just let me or Cavalier One know :-). We'll be getting the title character of the comic up to featured status in preparation for the release and other things. Thank you, Grunny  ( talk ) 11:31, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Grunny. Firefly & Serenity Database is in good shape and I can add it to the spotlight list; however I cannot guarantee when the spotlight will go up (and it's likely to be before June at the moment).  Do you still want the spotlight?  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:40, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Wendy. Thank you for taking the time to look at the Wiki, and I definitely still want the spotlight :-). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 06:38, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:28, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Doctor Who Collectors Wiki
I would like the DWCW to be spotlighted please. It has been over a year since we were last given a spotlight. Please and thank you. Tardis1963 06:57, March 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Doctor Who Collector's looks really nice -- I like the new skin!  There are a few tweaks you need to meet the spotlight criteria...  1) you need a link to recently uploaded images somewhere in the sidebar  2) there are a handful of uncategorized pages and 3) you have not customized the "Community Corner" on My Home.  Please let me know when you have made these minor changes and I'll be happy to add you to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:10, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much and sorry for my English!--Cento93 17:26, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

NORAD Tracks Santa Wiki
I would like to request a spotlight for the NORAD Tracks Santa Wiki. We have done a lot of work to provide comprehensive information on the annual NORAD Tracks Santa effort and making it available to everyone year-round world-wide. Would like to get many like-mined people involved. I am the NORAD Tracks Santa Wiki Administrator. BillJohnson0003 22:20, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. NORAD tracks Santa looks like a fun Wiki.  However it does not yet meet the criteria for a requested spotlight; notably it needs a lot more content to reach 200 articles.  Good luck working on it, and please ask again when you can meet all the criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:40, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Amazing Race Wiki
I'd like to request a spotlight for The Amazing Race Wiki. We have done a lot of cleanup in the past few months and we're almost at the 300 article mark! The current season is now airing and this is a great time for a feature. Thanks! --Ekrubmj 16:03, March 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Amazing Race Wiki looks really nice, and you have a great structure in place for your content. Unfortunately, however, you have a lot of stub articles ( a template and a lot of blank headings); well over 1/5th of your articles are simply templates with a picture and some names.  Please ask again for a spotlight when you have had a chance to strengthen your content! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:34, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Theodore Tugboat Wiki
I was wondering if the Theodore Tugboat Wiki could be spotlighted again, as it has been improved a good bit since last time. I would also like a different spotlight image this time if possible, so that people don't think that it is just the old spotlight again. A matter of fact, I would like this image to be used for the spotlight, because I think it would spark some interest and curiousity. Thank you very much! <font face="Arial"> ZEM  talk to me!   20:54, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi Dfegg. Automobile Wiki looks really good and you have a great custom skin!  However in order to be spotlighted you need to meet all the spotlight criteria, including 200  non-stub content pages.

 * Hi. There have been a few additions to the spotlight criteria that you will need to meet for another spotlight.  For one thing you need a link to recently added images in your sidebar.  Also you need an image on your mainpage.  Images really help draw visitor's interest.  You have about 18 uncategorized pages that need to be categorized.  Also you have a lot of redlinked categories that should be either created or taken off the pages.  Finally you need to customize the Community Corner on My Home.  Let me know when you've had a chance to take care of these issues! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:05, March 30, 2010 (UTC)

The Three Kingdoms Wiki
The Three Kingdoms Wiki is a wiki about the Three Kingdoms of China, but this wiki is far different from Wikipedia, because it contains non-fictional information about the Three Kingdoms or Sanguozhi. The Three Kingdoms Wiki has over 100 pages, The pages have categories, no explicit images or bad language. There are a few stubs but, not much. I hope you can get The Three Kingdoms Wiki into the spotlight. Click here for our mainpage: The Three Kingdoms Wiki --Ccjk 03:02, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. The Three Kingdoms Wiki looks good -- I love the background!  However it does not currently meet the spotlight criteria.  You need to have 200 non-stub content articles.  Also the Community Corner of My Home should be customized.  Also I need the admin to either request the spotlight or have given you approval for it.  Please ask again when you can meet all the spotlight criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:25, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Travian
Hi, I'm admin over at Travian Wiki, I was just wondering what kinda shape the wiki was in, and how ready it would be for a spotlight. I'm not exactly requesting one yet but if you let me know, I can work towards it. – Talk - My Wikia's list - New Wiki Watchlist 18:40, March 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Travian looks like it is in decent shape but not quite ready for a spotlight.  For a spotlight you would need to customize the Community Corner on My Home.  There are about 40 uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out.  Also you would need to strengthen the content slightly; you have 214 total articles, but 40 of those are marked stub (and looking at short pages, I'd say 20-30 are truly stubs).  You need at least 200 non-stub pages.   Please feel free to ask when you can meet all the criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:15, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Oh yes, indeed the wiki has grown quite a bit. I know it's a fanon wiki, but please consider it! --Nitrous X 18:00, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

It certainly has. Maggosh 21:47, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I can't directly find where the admin approved the request, so I'd need a link to that.  Also, the wiki does not currently meet the Spotlight Criteria.  The Community Corner on My Home needs to be customized and there is no link to recently added images in the sidebar.  You need to have the auto-welcome tool on (Mediawiki:Welcome-user set to @sysop or @latest).  There are also a few uncategorized pages.  Most critically, you have 250 pages, or over half your content in "Articles needing expansion" which is essentially the same thing as a stub category.  Seeing that big black box about the article needing "everything" on half the pages is quite offputting to a visitor.  Please have an admin ask again when you can meet all the spotlight criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:22, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

PF Followers Wiki spotlight request
Hey, our wiki, PF Followers Wiki, is an awesome wiki. I want to request a spotlight, It's where you can create a chracter, and interact with them. It is a spinoff of PF Fanon, where I am also an admin. Thank you. Dooby Dooby Doo Bah AgentGoldfish (Talk) 06:05, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. It looks like you are having a lot of fun on your PF Followers Wiki; however in order to be spotlighted the wiki needs to meet all of the Spotlight Criteria.  One of the criteria is 200 content pages.  Feel free to ask again when you can meet all the criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:06, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

What's New On Wikia...
I was wondering how a wiki gets on the "What's New" section, 'cause I created this wiki, and it has a customized background and nice stuff, but it's too small for a spotlight yet.

Pitsilemu Wiki
Hi, I'm an admin at the Pitsilemu wiki, a wiki with documentation for a IRC bot of Wikinews, it has translations to Spanish, Catalan and Chinese. Would be great to promote this wiki with a soptlight. --MisterWiki 18:16, February 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Pitsilemu Wiki sounds like it is going to be very helpful for users of the bot; however it does not currently meet the Spotlight Criteria.  For example, to request a spotlight a wiki should have at least 200 content pages...  Feel free to ask again when you can meet the criteria, and have fun building your wiki!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:54, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Tamora Pierce Wiki
I'm an admin at the Tamora Pierce Wiki and I'd like to request a spotlight for it. As far as I can see we meet all the required "best practices". Our sidebar link to new pictures is under "Top Content". -- Purzel • Talk 13:54, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi. Tamora Pierce Wiki looks great and I've added it to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:49, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Avatar Wiki future request
We'd like to request a spotlight starting from Mid-June-ish for Avatar Wiki because the first movie of the trilogy will be in theaters July 2nd. Joey (talk) 04:00, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Avatar Wiki looks great.  You've got some uncategorized pages -- could you please take care of them?  Also, your stub category has some articles that really aren't stubs -- you might consider cleaning it out a little bit.  It's just around 1/5th of your total articles so you don't have to, but those little "stub" boxes are actually a bad thing for visitors, and actually make little sense on a big long article.    If you take care of the uncategorized pages I'd be happy to add you to the spotlight list.  However I can't guarantee when the spotlight will appear; we tried it once and it just didn't work well.  If you would like the spotlight anyways, just let me know!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:35, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

British Wildlife WIKI
http://thewwcbritishwildlife.wikia.com/wiki Heres the link to our British Wildlife Wiki!TheWWC 16:48, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, i am the creator of this wiki! My name is Steven. I found Wiki by chance and have loved it ever since. I had a dream that one day i could make an encyclopedia to showcase British Wildlife, I was going to programme it from scratch and add all the photos and content myself. Then whilst researching one day i stumbled across wikia. This was a huge leap forward! I could make my goal come true with the help of the whole online community.

I have designed the wiki to meet your specifications (with the help of a few people) So i hope to hear back from you soon!!--TheWWC 17:26, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi TheWWC. The British Wildlife Wiki looks really good and you have clearly put a lot of work into it!  It needs just one little tweak to meet the spotlight criteria.  Could you update the Community Corner (on the bottom right hand side of "My Home") with a customized message?   Then I'll be happy to add the wiki to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:42, March 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for fixing that. I've added you to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:45, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Club Penguin Fanon Wiki
Wikia talk:Spotlights/CPFW

Per staff request, the discussion has been sent to its own subpage. If that is illegal, please fix my mistake. -- † This is Serious Business! Jesus Loves You and Died for You!! †    :)  :) TurtleShroom Productions: Patent Pending. † 22:12, February 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * The drama on the linked discussion page highlights much of why I do not feel this wiki is appropriate for a spotlight; just seeing all that leaves an impression of unstable and unfriendly (whatever the actual participants might feel) that is not what we want people to see when they click a spotlight.  Looking at the front page blogs there are two people quitting (including the admin who requested the spotlight) and one person unblocked.... There is still a lot of blocking/unblocking/promoting/demoting going on as well.  In addition, you do not currently meet all of the spotlight criteria;  offhand I notice that the sitenotice is too long, there is no link to new pictures in the sidebar menu,  there are some uncategorized pages, and while you have a picture on your mainpage it is buried way at the bottom.  I'm sorry, but I cannot spotlight this wiki at this time.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Yin Yang Yo! fan fiction
This wiki is small, but could be bigger with a Spotlite! it is were you can create a cheracter and do things, like edit the wiki, nominate a nother cheracter, and battle virtualy on my talk page. i would appreceate it if you made Yin Yang Yo! fan fiction wiki a spotlite.Yina 18:42, January 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Yina. It looks like this wiki is just getting started.  Spotlighted wikis need to meet all of the spotlight criteria including 200 non-stub content pages.  Please ask again when you have had a chance to build the wiki and can meet the criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:39, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Hi im Malevolence can we have a spotlight despite our pages are small we really need editors is that okay?--Prinnyvolence Dood! 16:38, January 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, I appreciate that you want to attract more editors for your wiki, and you have done a great job customizing it!  However you do need to meet the spotlight criteria, including 200 non-stub content pages, in order to be spotlighted.  Please ask again when you have built the wiki a little bit more and can meet all the criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:35, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Burnopedia (Burnout Wiki)
Well since its our site's birthday today and it marks the anniversary of the Burnopedia clan as well, i feel it only fair that we have a spotlight space, even if its for a week or so. We have over 900 articles, thus being the biggest Sports/Racing Gaming Wiki ever, and over 60 clan members, which as far as i'm concerned; is a huge success since i don't know any other wikis that have an online gaming clan, let alone one of our size. As our community is growing and there are many projects that are taking place, that really push the boundaries of coding and diversity in the wiki, i would love some more publicity and advertisement. We have a logo, for the spotlight space. It's all ready to go and so if you could accept our request it'd be great and highly appreciated by our hard working community. Thanks for taking our request into account.

<font color="#ff6600">the parkster   @Burnopedia  01:35, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry I can't do anything about the timing with your anniversary/birthday on such short notice... but hopefully a spotlight later will be good too :) -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, February 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Great on putting up the link -- I've added you to the spotlight list.

Anyhow, can you please resize it?  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:00, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

ABC DAYTIME Wiki
I started a wiki a few months ago about the The soaps opera on ABC, General Hospital, One Life to Live, and All My Children. I'm up to 109 articles by myself, but it's getting hard to do all alone. I'd really like some help. Just wondering if you guys can shed a little light on it. --Nk3play2 03:13, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. ABC DAYTIME Wiki looks like you are working really hard on it, and congratulations on reaching 100 articles by yourself -- that's a real accomplishment!  Unfortunately, the spotlight criteria is now 200 content pages.  Please ask again when you can meet all the criteria for a spotlight.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:16, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Minifig Wiki
I am not sure if this is appropriate for the wiki spotlight, but I would like to chance requesting minifig wiki. For now we are doing fine, and we have some good articles. User:BobaFett2 21:45, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Minifig Wiki looks like a lot of fun and would make a great spotlight subject-wise.  A couple of things.  Could you please customize the "Community Corner" on the My Home page?  You also have a couple of uncategorized pages.  More critically, although you thankfully don't have the stub notice on all of them, about 4/5ths of your content pages are a short sentence with (sometimes) a picture or two.  The pictures are great, but in order to be spotlighted the wiki needs more non-stub pages (longer than about 300 bytes, or 2-3 sentences).  Right now, clicking random page brings up mostly articles that are shorter than your sitenotice....  Please ask again when you have fleshed out the wiki some more!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:08, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Meerkats Wiki
I think Meerkats Wiki is ready for a Spotlight, the wiki been running for two and half year, we have over 300 articles. But we need new users, we have users who can and go and no one who stays for long. Phillies Go Cincinnati Bengals 12:34, December 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Meerkats Wiki looks pretty nice.  There are a couple of things you need to do to meet the spotlight criteria.  The first is that you have no pictures on your mainpage.   On a related note, you also need a link in your sidebar menu to Newly added images.  Let me know when you have taken care of these issues.  More seriously, the english on many of your content pages contains a lot of grammatical mistakes, isn't wiki-linked, doesn't have any paragraph breaks and is generally sort of hard to read as a result.  Spotlighted wikis need to be easy and fun for visitors to browse.  You seem to have plenty of good content; perhaps you could spend some time focusing on cleaning up the writing and creating infoboxes to help straighten out the pages?  Please ask again when you have had a chance to improve the writing and can meet the other spotlight criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:14, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hi. Zelda Fanon looks like a nice wiki.  There are a few of the spotlight criteria that it doesn't meet however.  For one, the community corner on My Home hasn't been customized.  There is no link to recently added pictures in the sidebar.   Finally, roughly half of your content pages are still uncategorized.

 * Hi. I don't particularly see any offensive language or images on the front page at the moment, but yes, some of the content has offensive language.  There are a couple of other issues with the request.  First of all I can't see that you are an administrator on the wiki, and the request needs to be made by one (or at least one needs to be aware of it).  There are a few uncategorized pages and the mainpage is locked against editing by users.  Also, since the default skin is not monaco, wikistickies and my home are not even visible to most users, and the My Community section is not customized.  An additional problem is that as best I can tell, existing wikia users have to recreate their accounts to be logged in on uncyclopedia. So I'm sorry, but I can't put Uncyclopedia on the spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:11, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

PathfinderWiki
PathfinderWiki has just reached the 2,500 article milestone and is quickly gaining momentum as we approach the project's third year. As one of the largest wikias dedicated to a tabletop RPG setting, and one which is rapidly becoming an industry leader, both in terms of influence and critical acclaim, it is important that it receive attention from those who may be used only to gaming wikis related to computer and console games. We have tons of great art, all licensed for the site by the publisher's Community Use Policy, and any number of these images would serve to captivate potential editors. Additionally, the sixth Pathfinder Adventure Path, Kingmaker, will be debuting in a few months, so now is a great time to get people active on the project as a lot of new material is scheduled to come out in support of the new adventure. &mdash; yoda8myhead 23:33, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

 * Hi. LifeMusic Wiki looks great in many ways - very organized and friendly, and you do meet most of the spotlight criteria.

 * Hi. Charmed Wiki is in pretty good shape.  There are two things that need to be fixed in order to be spotlighted.  The first is to categorize the small handful of uncategorized pages.  The other is to lower the protection level on the mainpage to at least protect only against unregistered users.
