 * Hi. Creepypasta Wiki is in good shape. You do have some uncategorized pages -- could you please sort those out?  Let me know on my wall when you finish and I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:13, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

GTA Myths Wiki (approved)
Hello I am Sasquatch101 and am requesting the GTA Myths Wikibe put up for spotlight. I have applied in the past, but was turned down due to lack of pages and content. Currently we have over 200 articles and 733 images and counting, 60 active users, 10,799 total edits, and have a WAM ranking of 354 out of 5,000. We are number one on google search for "gta myths", "myths in gta", "myths in gta 4", "myths in gta sa", and "myths in gta vice city". We are featured on numerous youtube videos and have our own YouTube, twitter, tumbler, and facebook sites. We also are affiliated with GTA Wiki, RDR Myths Wiki, and GTA Fanon Wiki. We also recently have had an article written about us in the New Yorker Magazine. We would greatly appreciate a spotlight to further expand out wiki. Thankyou. Sasquatch101 (talk) 01:42, August 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. GTA Myths Wiki looks great and you have plenty of content now.  The only issue I see for a spotlight is the main page protection.  Could you please lower the edit protection to only stop anonymous users and new accounts?  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 ) 03:18, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hyperdimension Neptunia Wiki (approved)
I am the founder of the Hyperdimension Neptunia Wiki and I would like to request a Spotlight. While my wiki only has about 3 Active editors, we have created approximately 350+ pages with only a few article stubs. I have carefully reviewed the requirements for the Wikia Spotlight and I am positive my wiki has followed all of the Best Practices. I would be happy if you would approve of my request for a Spotlight.

Nanatsu no Taizai Wiki (approved)
Hello there! I'm an admin at Nanatsu no Taizai Wiki, and I would like to request for a spotlight. If possible, I would like it to be some time around October 10 when it is the manga's first year anniversary. For the image, I would like to request using this, but if there are any images you think is more suitable, feel free to use them instead. Thank you very much!

 * Hi. Nanatsu no Taizai Wiki looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  My best guess is that the spotlight should go up for two weeks at the beginning of October -- hopefully that will work for your anniversary.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:15, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Nevadabell Wiki
Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, the founder and current owner of the Nevadabell Wiki. We have 232 pages, and only 8 of them are stubs. I have tried to help the wiki, and I realize that I'm the only one editing for the past three-five days. If we get adopted, can we use http://nevadabell.wikia.com/wiki/File:Cheerios01.jpg with the top caption "Opinions count", and the bottom caption "Welcome to the opinion center". Thanks. CalzoneManiac (talk) 10:09, September 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Nevadabell Wiki is in generally good shape. The main page would need to be tweaked for a spotlight -- right now there are no links to the main types of content (portal-style links to lead to areas such as letters, restaurants, etc.) and no real description of what the wiki is.  Let me know on my wall when you have had a chance to work on revamping the main page and I will check again.  -- Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:25, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Hello there Wendy. Right now I have modified the main page to your specifications. CalzoneManiac (talk) 20:52, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

Looney Tunes Wiki (approved)
Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, one of the admins of Looney Tunes Wiki. It is a database on the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons from Warner Bros. that ran from 1930 until 1969. This also includes the several major spin-offs of the cartoons that have been made into TV shows. We are really looking forward to our spotlight. We have 284 stub pages out of 2,356 pages (less than eight percent below the maximum amount of stubs), and are a stable community not in the need for new admins of any sort. If you approve this, can you use http://looneytunes.wikia.com/wiki/File:Looney_Tunes_intro.jpg with the top caption "Things just got loonier." and the bottom caption "Welcome to the ultimate looney database."? Thank you. CalzoneManiac (talk) 07:57, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Aikatsu Wiki (approved)
Hi! I am Abby, the top aidoru from Aikatsu Wiki! I am here to requesting a spotlight since the second season will start this October, both arcade game and anime. The newest episodes also made big shots to the fandom so I think this series deserved a spotlight for the second season! I didn't really sure have we done all the requirements but we're active and I'm the most burning one! Thank you! LyokonoKawaiiPurinsesu (talk) 07:12, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Aikatsu Wiki looks good, but in order to be spotlighted we would ask that you drop the edit protection on the main page to only block new and unregistered users.  Please 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 ) 03:38, September 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again Abby. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:08, September 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi again! Thank you very much for the spotlight! But seems there is a bit error, since the second season just started a week ago, but in the spotlight, it was "November", can it be fixed? Thank you! LyokonoKawaiiPurinsesu (talk) 10:49, October 17, 2013 (UTC) ― (Edit): Can you change the text into "Let's grant this dream come true!"?

Wigglepedia


Hello! I Am An Active Admin On Wigglepedia And I Think It's A Good Idea To Put The Wiki In The Spotlight For Halloween. We Can Also Do The Same On Christmas (that'll be a future spotlight request) Here Is The Info:

Image Should Be: And The Description Should Say "Have a Wiggly Halloween!"

And When Clicked, The Spotlight Should Redrict Here

Bananaaaaa! Potato-naaaaah! (talk) 23:02, September 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. In order to be spotlighted, Wigglepedia would need a few tweaks. The edit protection on the main page would need to be dropped to only block new and unregistered users.  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those things and I will check again! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:21, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Natsume Yuujinchou Wiki (approved)
Hello, I would like to request for a spotlight on this wiki. I am one of the admins there and currently I'm the only one actively contributing, since the other admin only act as a watcher. So new users are greatly welcome here, and also attracting back some old users. Thank you for your consideration. Miyanlove (talk) 16:33, September 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * We have 304 pages on the wiki
 * Our special:uncategorized pages in empty

I Love Writing Wiki (approved)
I am the co-head admin of this wiki. We do have  200 content pages, however I'm sure we have a good but of stubs. This is mainly because we are a writing wiki, and these stubs are books our users are planning on writing, but haven't gotten to yet. The main page of the wiki does not have any pictures, but it is very colorful and well-coded, and it does contain clear links to the most important content. It is sysop-protected, but I can change that. We have a strictly enforced  category structure and every content page (to my beliefe) is in at least one category page. We are not  in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; we are a stable, friendly place. We do use the Wikia welcome tool, and it is signed by all staff. We do have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. We do have a customized skin. We do use offensive language, but only in stories (creative freedom), but we do not allow inappropriate pictures. 21:39, September 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I Love Writing Wiki looks pretty good in general; as I think you know based on your request, the only tweaks it needs for a spotlight are the mainpage.  The protection needs to be lowered, and it would be nice if you could find some pictures to add in there -- even little icons for things.  You could possibly set up a portal to the main story types or to some of the other options in your menus (eg.  "stories", "Reviews", "Ratings" etc...).  Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of that page and I will check back again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:32, October 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for sprucing up the mainpage -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:27, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

F1 Wiki: Request for Spotlight (approved)
I would like to request spotlight for the F1 Wiki in an attempt to improve the wiki's popularity. We had spotlight for a month in mid-2012 which brought a number of new editors including one which is now an admin. With the 2013 F1 season reaching its conclusion in a couple of months, I believe that this is a good time to make this request.

In order to expedite the application, I have responded to each of Wikia's criteria as follows:
 * I am an active admin, as is Gyarados Magnus with whom I have discussed this request;
 * We are rapidly approaching 1,100 pages, of which only 17 are less that 300 bytes. 3 of these are disambiguations, and the rest are early car pages which are in development;
 * The Featured Article section of the main page has a picture, the news section has a further two, and there is a picture of the World Champion. The main page is not sysop protected, but is locked from IP editing;
 * Special:UncategorizedPages is empty.
 * There are 3 active and 1 semi-active admins on the wiki. There is no intention of upheaval.
 * MediaWiki:Welcome-user is set to @sysop
 * I have written a welcome message in the Community Corner.
 * The wiki uses a custom skin with a background image which is changed each race to an image of the next circuit.
 * The F1 Wiki does not tolerate the use of inappropriate language or images.

I hope you will enjoy a visit to the F1 Wiki to verify this information. The image which was used last time for Spotlight (a cropped version of this image) should suffice if the F1 Wiki is selected for spotlight.

Thank You

MTracey1 PSN/XBL: Mackem1985 01:35, September 21, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for your detailed response to the adoption criteria -- I appreciate it!  F1 Wiki is still in good shape and I will be happy to approve it for another spotlights.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:37, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki (approved)
I'd like to get a spotlight for the MCU wiki for the upcoming movie Thor: The Dark World. Hopefully about the same time as that. If it is a bit too late, then maybe for the next movie, Captain America: The Winter Soldier which is coming out on the 4th of April, 2014. I just want the spotlight to be up around the release of the movie. Thanks :) <span id="User:New Captain" class="plainlinks">New Captain (talk • contribs • count) 06:54, September 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Marvel cinematic Universe Wiki is in good shape and I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  It should go up by the middle of November, which seems to fit the release for the Thor movie.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:42, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Supreme Dragon Ball Wiki
Hello! This is TheLoneNord AKA Kuzon. I am a lead Bureaucrat and founding member of Supreme Dragon Ball Wiki AKA Lookout. The wiki is a Role-Play/Fan-Fiction/Canon, Dragon Ball and all-anime based wiki. It was founded May 8th, 2012, and has had a spotlight before (sometime in July or August of 2012). I tried to give it one a few months ago but they said something about uncategorized pages, so I categorized them. May I ask, how long spotlights last, and if we are good with getting one? Thank you. - TheLoneNord (talk) 03:32, September 29, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Spotlights are up for at least 2 weeks and occasionally longer.  Supreme Dragon Ball Wiki looks like it is mostly in good shape; however the skin needs to be fixed.  There is white on white (ie unreadable) text on many of your templates, mainpage titles, etc.  Could you please straighten out the styling issues so the wiki is readable? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:49, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Supernatural Wiki (approved)
I'm an admin on http://supernatural.wikia.com/wiki/Supernatural_Wiki and would like to request a spot light. Season 9 premieres in a week and would be great if the wiki could be approved by then. The Wiki meets all the criteria (The B'crat changed the main page protection level recently, but for the sake of the spot light, I lowered it). For the spot light, incorporate  with the tag line: ''Angels are not always the good guys. (linking it to Season 9 page)  RaghavD All I need is ONE life, ONE try, ONE breath, I'm ONE man''  17:47, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Supernatural Wiki is in good shape except that the main page protection would need to be lowered again for the spotlight.  It can be raised again if there are problems.


 * In terms of the timing... spotlights only go up at the beginning and middle of the month, so there was no way we could have put it up by the 8th when it was requested on the 1st; however if you still wish to be spotlighted, please fix the main page and let me know on my wall. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:00, October 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:19, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

Nitrome Wiki (approved)
Hello! I would like to request the Nitrome Wiki for spotlight. We fulfill all the requirements, as noted below.


 * The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. - I'm an Admin. Source


 * 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. - The wiki has 2027 articles, 23 of those which are under 300 bytes, 21 of those being redirects. We have 82 stubs.


 * 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. - The wiki's main page fulfills all of this (Source). However, it is protected to block new users, as through the 5 years of being up, the front page has been vandalized 14 times, all done by new users. (Source)


 * 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, all pages have a category and all categories are categorized.


 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - Although we are choosing a new admin, I am simply waiting for confirmation from another admin to close to discussion.


 * 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 toll is being used. Source


 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - There is a custom message displayed (Source)


 * The wiki should have a customized skin. - Check any page of the wiki, a custom skin is in use.


 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Our wiki's policy condemns swearing and offensive language, and also abides by the Terms of Use by not allowing inappropriate pictures

Also, may I ask for the dimensions of the Wikia spotlight image? I can't seem to find another spotlight logo to design the Wiki's spotlight logo for. --— NOBODY (talk) 02:52, October 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Nitrome Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.


 * If you wish to choose an image, then please post it here, along with any suggested text. There are no dimension requirements -- Wikia will create the spotlight from the image you provide.  Don't feel that you have to choose one - we can also pick one out for you. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:26, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Rolling Stones Wiki
Hi there, I'm Dragonknight86, but you can call me Dragon. Anyway, my wiki the Rolling Stones wiki has 259 pages total. A few of them are stubs, but over 200 are not. The main reason I want this wiki to be on the spotlight is because I have all this content, and no active users. So please consider adding the Rolling Stones wiki to the spotlight. Thank you Dragonknight86 (talk) 20:32, October 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Rolling Stones Wiki looks great.  However you appear to have over 150 pages marked for deletion; which means only about 100 of the content pages are real content.  I suggest you clean those up (most of them appear to be truly spam) and ask again when you have 200 pages on the Rolling Stones :).  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 12:40, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Doctor Who Answers (approved)
Hello there! I'm here requesting a second spotlight for Doctor Who Answers in order to celebrate the show's 50th anniversary which is coming up in November. We were spotlighted earlier this year during the last series and it did wonders to the amount of traffic coming to the wiki. The wiki is in as good shape as it was back then, and there is still the same problem of not fitting the stub requirement because of the format of the wiki (it being an answers wiki, answers given most of the time don't need to be long to be informative and often consist of single words or phrases when the question is specific enough), but you were fine with that last time, so I don't think it would be a problem now. I was wondering if we could get this second spotlight for the time surrounding the 23rd of November (so whatever timeslot we could be put in which would allow about equal time in the spotlight before and after that date, if that's possible). I am also wondering if the spotlight could point to a blog post instead of the main page of the wiki. If this is possible, can I give you the URL of the blog later (still haven't written it yet as I am unsure of your response, and also because I want to give maximum time for community ideas as to what to include in it. Also don't want the blog to be open too long before the 50th, as it is meant to open to celebrate that time)? Thank you. If you do grant this spotlight request, could you please use this image and the caption "Celebrating 50 years in the TARDIS". Thanks in advanced, Imamadmad (Contact me) 07:40, October 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Dr. Who Answers looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  I am not sure we can redirect the spotlight to a blog post without the blog post -- usually we submit the URLs at the same time as the artwork, which should be later today.  However, if not, perhaps you can add a large link from your mainpage for people.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:00, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki (approved)
Ahoy! I'm JoshuaCoalskul, one of the Administrators at the Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki. Despite Pirates Online closing, the community has decided to move on and expand the wiki. We are going to start covering content over Pirates of the Caribbean: Isles of War, a new Facebook App/Game published by Disney. We would like to highlight this expansion with a spotlight.


 * The wiki has 2,758 page with 0 of them being stubs.
 * The main page of the wiki has multiple picture, and clear links to the most important content.
 * The wiki has a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page is in a category. There are no un-categorized pages.
 * The wiki uses the Wikia welcome tool, signed by Administrators.
 * The wiki has a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity.
 * The wiki has a customized skin.
 * The wiki does not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. The Abuse Filter prevents such actions from occurring.

SpongeBob SquarePants
Hello. I plan to wait for w:c:spongebob to get an adoption. We have 4,865 content pages, of which 970 (about 19.9%) are stub-size. The main page was protected from non-admins in 2012 because there were several spam editors. It's possible that we could change it with the admins support. CalzoneManiac (talk) 09:32, October 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Yes, it would be good to try lowering the main page protection so it only blocks new and unregistered users. You also have some uncategorized pages that need to be straightened out.  Please 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.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:39, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

SpongeBob Fanon Wiki
Hello, I am ChrisGriffinXx, a sysop of the SpongeBob Fanon Wiki. We've recently had a couple of users move to the Referata version of this wiki, which is why I am nominating this for a spotlight. We have 6,603+ pages on this wiki, and only a fraction of the pages are stubs. This is for all SpongeBob fans who have their own ideas!

http://spongefan.wikia.com/wiki/SpongeBob_Fanon_Wiki

ChrisGriffinXx (talk) 15:10, October 23, 2013 (CST)


 * Hi. I'm sorry to hear you have been losing users for your wiki.  SpongeBob Fanon Wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight.  There are nearly 600 uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out.  The mainpage also has quite a few redlinks -- those should either be replaced with real pages or unlinked.  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:45, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

I'm T And J Kids, and I'm an active admin of said wiki. The number of pages we have is just 201. There are no uncategorized pages. Mind adding it?

 * Hi. Law's Brigade Wiki looks to be in fairly good shape for a spotlight. However you will need to finish the main page with some links to important content before I can approve it.  Please let me know on my wall when you have finished with that!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:36, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

77 Days Wiki (approved)
Hi there! This is Green Zubat here, bureaucrat of the 77 Days Wiki (a.k.a. Pronunciation Book Conspiracy Wiki) for which I am officially requesting a spotlight. We're a small but growing wiki devoted to the mysterious 77 Days countdown on the YouTube Channel Pronunciation Book, and everything related to it. I believe we fufil the following criteria, listed below:


 * The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight. - That would be me.


 * 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. - The wiki has 212 articles, 4 of which are under 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. - The main page fulfils all of this. It is protected to prevent new & unregistered users from editing (and admins only for renaming) as someone did delete the main page, and we don't want to run the risk of future vandalism, though we can lower the protection level if required.


 * 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.


 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - Though we are always on the lookout for future admins, our current team is stable, able and devoted, and the wiki isn't going through any major changes.


 * 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.) - Got it.


 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We have this.


 * The wiki should have a customized skin. - This was one of our earliest features; check any page.


 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Our policy clearly shows that we do not allow either of these things by users. However, some of the characters in our topic area's fictional universe do swear, and as trascripts of what said characters say are sometimes necessary, swearing may necessarily appear on the wiki in this context.

 * Hi. Protection against new and anonymous users editing the mainpage is perfect. 77 Days Wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:49, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

Two and a Half Men (approved)
I'd like Two and a Half Men Wiki to be spotlighted. The Wiki fulfills all the criterion. I've been trying to revive the wiki after it was abandoned to the Anon editors. It'll be great for attracting new readers and editors. Thanks! RaghavD '"I'm beginning to feel like a Rap God"  11:13, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

Corriepedia (approved)
Hi, I am one of the admins at Corriepedia - http://coronationstreet.wikia.com/wiki/Coronation_Street_Wiki. We have been going for over five years now and have over 16,000 articles. I have just corrected the two pages that didn't have a category but otherwise I think we meet all the requirements for a spotlight. Please may we be considered? Thank you. --Jtomlin1uk (talk) 18:56, November 3, 2013 (UTC)

Tardis (approved)
Hey, Wendy! If ComDev haven't already planned to do a Spotlight for w:c:tardis for the week before and after 23 November, then I'd like to request one for Tardis. Here's the artwork, already at Spotlight size, with easy bottom space for adding a caption. Good captions might include:


 * The day of the Doctor is upon us (line 2) Get ready at our Doctor Who wiki
 * # SaveTheDay, Celebrate #DW50 (line 2) Come to the party at our TARDIS! (this uses the BBC's official Twitter hashtags)
 * Wait no longer to #SaveTheDay (line 2) Celebrate #DW50 at our Doctor Who wiki
 * The only way #SaveTheDay is to know the past (line 2) Study Doctor Who's history at Tardis!

I say the week "before and after" since the 3D theatrical release of the special is on the 25th, and that may be the first time many people will have seen it. Thus, Wikia are likely to get a lot of people "high on Doctor Who" in that whole 22-26 November period.

I know there's a pending request for a month-long Spotlight for w:c:drwho.answers, and as an admin at both wikis, I feel obliged to ask questions at this point more than offer a preference. The essential issue is whether we — and by 'we", I mean here "Wikia, Inc." — want to handle marketing during this critical period.

I don't know the answers, but I can pose the questions for you:


 * Should we have "clean" marketing lines, and funnel all traffic into a single, "flagship" Doctor Who wiki for the big event?
 * Should we have both Spotlights running concurrently to show off the two differing wiki concepts at a moment when a lot of Wikia visitors will be interested in the topic?
 * Should we simply allow DWA to have the spotlight alone, since there are other, more robust marketing elements working in Tardis' favour?
 * Is this all a moot point anyway, because you simply don't allow a single wiki to have a month-long Spotlight?

I honestly don't know which path serves Wikia's interests best, so I leave it up to you to decide. 20:28: Mon 04 Nov 2013


 * Hi. I can't answer all your questions as I do not know what the community development team has planned for Doctor Who later this month.  The Doctor Who Answers spotlight is approved to be up for the full month so it will cover the appropriate time period.  As far as I know there is no difficulty with having both wikis spotlighted at the same time; in fact it seems to me that it would work well to have both types of wiki highlighted.  I've gone ahead and approved Tardis Wiki for a spotlight.  Spotlights go up at the beginning and middle of the month, so if it is included in the next batch it would be up for the week before and after the 23rd as you wanted; however I cannot guarantee the timing... there is a chance it may slip to the December 1st slot.     -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:27, November 6, 2013 (UTC)

Ferry Boat Fred
Hi I'm ElsbridgeStationFan1995 and I would like to submit the ferry boat fred wiki for the wiki spotlight. We are a wiki about an Australian show and have most of the content we can find, we have 84 pages because since this show is old there isn't much information about the people involved. We also have everything well categorised and searchable. We also come fourth in the google search for ferry boat Fred without wiki in the title so please consider us for the spotlight.

 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted a wiki has to meet the spotlight criteria, one of which is to have at least 200 non-stub content pages.

Halo Fanon Wiki
Greet'ns. I'm one of the new administrators over at HF, and after recent efforts made by our userbase that resulted in a complete cleaning-out of all uncategorized pages and a complete clean-up of all our 17,000+ pages, I think we're ready to ask for a wikia spotlight. New user in-flow's been a little slow for a long while now, and we could use some promotion to give us some fresh blood. Thanks for your consideration, That Damn Sniper


 * Hi. Halo Fanon Wiki is in good shape -- good job cleaning it up! For a spotlight we would ask that you also drop the main page protection to only block edits by anonmyous and new users (the move protection can remain at sysop level). Please let me know on my wall when you have done that and I'll be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 13:57, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Gongjin's Campaign Memorials: a Three Kingdoms Wiki (approved)
Hello Wikia, I would like to submit Gongjin’s Campaign Memorials for a spotlight place. It's been spotlighted before, I believe in 2010, but since that's been a while I was hoping it was possible to be spotlighted again. The wiki has improved a lot since, imo! Also, if you approve my request, can you please pick a pic from our history section?

kind regards,

Hello! http://skyrimroleplaying.wikia.com/wiki/Skyrim_Role_Playing_Wiki is a...well, it's a Skyrim Roleplaying wiki. But! It has personality. It has good organization. It even has good staff! But....it suffers from lacking users. And so, we beg of you, honor our small wiki with a spotlight, please?

Jessie Wiki
Hi! The Jessie Wiki really could use a spotlight! The show JESSIE is going to have a Christmas crossover special with the hit Disney Channel series, Good Luck Charlie. We are going to be doing big things on our wiki and we want to spotlight the wiki in honor of the crossover. We would like you to use this picture:

I would appreciate it if instead of having "Jessie Wikia" as the title if you instead made it "Good Luck Jessie" or "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas". One of those two would be greatly appreciated.

Then as the tagline underneath I would like it to say "This Christmas, Jessie will need a lot of 'good luck.'"

If you cannot make the title Good Luck Jessie" or "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas" and it has to be "Jessie Wikia" then just make the tagline underneath "See Good Luck Charlie and Jessie in a Christmas crossover!"

But seriously if you can do the "Good Luck Jessie" title, please do it.

Our wiki fits all of the criteia. I need this spotlight up at the latest by November 22nd because the special is nearing very fast.

Thank you!
