Cats Of The Clans Wiki
Hello, I'm one of the active admins (Not the longest on there though) I have discussed it with admins and users on the IRC. All pages are neat and catergorized (I'm double checking though) and we have close to 2'000 pages

This wiki is for warror cat lovers, and Roleplaying lovers (Or both), and needs more users since most of our active ones left, or became inactive. I hope you'll accept the request. (Short, I was never good with words, or speeches) -- Birdpaw  Don't get me confused  With something i'm not 00:01, October 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Cats of the Clans Wiki looks like it is generally in very good shape.  There are a few uncategorized pages but not very many.  However the main page is really hard to use; while you have links to a lot of stuff it is hard to figure out what is important, and there are very few graphics.  Could you please spruce it up?  Let me know on my talk page when you've had a chance to work on it, or if you need some help.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:06, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Nick Plus Wiki
Ya, This is Tommypezmaster. I made a wiki of the furture of Nicktoons Network should be (wich is at http://nickplus.wikia.com/wiki/Nickplus_Wiki). I was really to invite people. I only got one user to sumit CatDog related page. The rest I got were rejections and one insult.

I want a Nicktoons Network without Tak and The Power of Juju. If anyone want to support my wiki by editing or sumitting a new page, that would be just the support I needed.


 * Hi. You don't appear to be actually asking for a spotlight here; you might want to make a blog for your wiki explaining what it is about instead.  That said, if you do want a spotlight, the wiki does not yet meet our spotlight criteria, which includes having 200 non-stub content pages.  Please feel free to ask for a spotlight when you can meet all the criteria.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:09, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

League of Legends Wiki (approved)
Hi I want our wiki to have a spotlight. I am an administrator there and an image of League of Legends:Dominion or any of the champion skins would be good for a spotlight. Thanks.


 * Hi. League of Legends Wiki looks great -- congratulations on reaching 1000 articles.  You do appear to have about 130 uncategorized pages.  Could you please sort those out?  Let me know on my talk page when you have finished and I will be happy to add League of Legends to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:19, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I believe that all pages are now categorized. If possible, please use something from here, preferably this one. Thanks in advance!


 * Great job -- I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list with your suggested image. -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:30, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * I don't think you've got enough pages, Q. Abce2 | Talk  'Other things" 00:39, October 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. As Abce2 said, you would need more content in order to meet our Spotlight Criteria. Please feel free to ask again when your wiki has grown a bit! -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:29, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

Ratchet & Clank wiki (approved)
Hi, I'm Tigernose, an admin of the Ratchet & Clank wiki. We want to apply for Spotlight, parallel to the release of the latest game, All 4 One.

We have 4000 articles and a long history including a previous spotlight a few years ago, so we naturally meet the criteria, I believe.

We are hoping to get a boost in editing activity from this spotlight after a period of general inactivitiy a few months ago, but the content itself is hopefully as good as new.

Thank you, Tigernose (Talk) 17:56, October 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry for the delay in answering this request.  Ratchet & Crank looks like it is in good shape and indeed meets all the spotlight criteria.  I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:57, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Crysis Wiki (approved)
Having been a bureaucrat on the Crysis Wiki after adopting it some time ago, I'd like to request a spotlight for it. We meet the qualifications and really could use all the extra attention we can secure. Shotrocket6 10:18, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I apologize for the delay in answering your request.  Crysis Wiki is in generally nice shape and just needs a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  There are about 30 uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out, and you have a few too many stubs;  basically you have about 90 pages marked as stubs, but 1/5th of your content would be 78 pages. You can either expand some of those stubs and/or remove tags from articles which are no longer stubs.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these two issues and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:07, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added you to the list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:42, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

RareWiki (approved)
I was wondering if one could advertise this wiki and revamp the Main Page please? I sent Staff an email about this wiki gaining an update. Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day 22:39, October 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please provide a link. (unofficial response)


 * Roads (The Techical Update we've all been waiting for: category redlinks are back! *sigh*) 00:10, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. RareWiki looks good and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. I see that you have already found the right page to ask for the Main Page revamp and been approved for that as well :).  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:16, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Jurassic Park Wiki (approved)
One of the all-time franchises of all time, in Wiki-form. The Jurassic Park Wiki currently houses over 1,100 articles, and is fairly active. The contributors there have been working on it for a long time to keep it alive, seeing that Jurassic Park has ended, though Jurassic Park IV might be coming soon. I am an Admin on the Wiki, and believe me, it deserves a spotlight.

<font color="Yellow">Lord   SS7  <font color="Grey">at the   Dark side of the Moon  15:47, October 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Jurassic Park Wiki is generally in really great shape and I can see why you are so proud of it.  In order to meet the spotlight request criteria you would need to drop the editing protection on the main page to only block new and anonymous users.  There are also a small handful of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these two things and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:24, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Of Stuff Wiki
This was made to be the randomest wiki ever. It was made for people to go on and goof around so they have something to do other than homework. However, it needs some spotlight!! I have a link to the website here. -Brandon&lt;3 14:34, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Wiki of Stuff looks like it is a lot of fun and a great place to goof around.  However in order to be spotlighted it would need to meet all of 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!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:26, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Liverpool F.C. wiki (approved)
Sports wikis are generally poor on wikia, but this is well organised, has the required 200 articles, and very few stubs. The only problem is that we have a very small userbase (only three active editors at the best of times), so us being on spotlight would bring some much needed exposure, and perhaps catch the eye of more Liverpool fans. Sunderland06 (talk) 20:58, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Liverpool F.C. wiki is in great (very red) shape and I have added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:34, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight question
Hello, I was told this is the place to request a spotlight. I was looking at the lists of requirements here, but I think I read somewhere the new requirements (since the introduction of the new skin) were somewhat different and I wanted to corroborate that.

The reason I ask is because, it says you need 200 full articles, although I am certain I have clicked in dozens of spotlights directing me to wikis with even less than 60 articles (example here are two with spotlights still active):


 * http://plasticcameras.wikia.com
 * http://parenthood.wikia.com

So my question is, have the requirements changed? My interested is for my wiki of Siouxsie Sioux that already has 50 full articles, and I'm wondering what else would I need to spotlight it. Thanks! --Liliana (my talk). 21:59, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Liliana. The spotlight criteria were already updated to reflect some of the features in the new skin, although the number of content pages was not affected. You do still need 200 non-stub pages as well as all of the other criteria listed to request a spotlight through this page.


 * The wikis you linked were not requested spotlights. Most of the spotlights you see are chosen by the content team to highlight wikis of their choosing; these do not have to meet the spotlight criteria.


 * The criteria here are a goal and a sort of "best practices" list for wikis which ask to be spotlighted. They serve as a way of making the requests process more equal; any wiki which meets the criteria can get a spotlight through this page.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:40, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Wiki Of Stuff Wiki
Hello, my name is Brandon. I am the founder and head administrator for Wiki Of Stuff. It was made as a wiki of randomness, where people can go to read and write random articles. It is basically a wiki to pass time when your bored. There is a link to my website here. Thank you. ---Brandon&lt;3 14:47, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * You currently only have 68 pages, you will need 200 pages. Note that this is not an official reply. 02:25, October 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * That, and bad words appear to be allowed as well.


 * Roads (The Techical Update we've all been waiting for: category redlinks are back! *sigh*) 00:09, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is a duplicate request; you can see my response above. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:41, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

GnomeTown Wiki (approved)
Two months since the creation and the wiki has already been pushed up a lot, thanks to Jamdog, as well as Tama63 for helping out by customizing the look and other things. As the founder, I would like to request a spotlight for GnomeTown Wiki, to help attract more users who play the game. --Bermuda 04:40, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nearly 300 articles
 * Main Page, navigation, community corner - customized
 * Stable
 * GnomeTown's Stubs, Short Pages
 * Uncategorized Pages


 * Hi. GnomeTown Wiki looks great, and thank you for such a detailed request with all the links.  I have added the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:48, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sonic News Network (approved)
Hi, I am Bullet Francisco, an active administrator of the Sonic News Network. The SNN would like to be a spotlight of Wikia, we want to attract new users to both edit and view our articles, we meet the requirements, as we are a very friendly place, and welcoming. We also have about 170 articles less than 300 bytes, and 789 articles out of 4748 articles marked as stubs, which is less than 1/5, and with the release of Sonic Generations coming soon (November 1s), we would like a spotlight. Thanks! -- 01:09, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sonic News Network looks great -- you are so close to 5000 articles! Could you please drop the main page edit protection so it only blocks edits from new and anonymous users?  Then I will be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:34, November 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am a Chat Moderator and Rollback of the Sonic News Network. The reason the protection settings on our main page is so high is due to the large amounts of vandalism that was done to our templates on the main page, and we need it protected since we have a lot of vandalism. Is dropping the protection really necessary to achieve spotlight for our wiki despite our high percentage of vandalism? If so, then we can definitely pull a few strings and just keep a close eye on the edits being made to the main page, though we prefer to keep the main page's format on a professional level. This could change if we let just anyone edit our main page. DarkFuture  <font color="#8A2BE2">x  21:40, November 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course it is ok. I had checked only the mainpage history and seen that the page had been protected for more than 2 years without realizing you were importing templates that might also have a history of vandalism.  I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:11, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

The Classic Car Wiki (approved)
Hello everyone! I am the Founder of The Classic Car Wiki. We are a new wiki that has been set up for classic car enthusiasts. Not all classics have to be from the 50's as a classic car is one which is 25 years old or older. This means a Car from 1986 is a classic (C-reg in the UK). We have 200+ pages but there has been a problem with the number of pages caching. That aside I have been adding mostly my own photos (other than manufacturers badges) and great progress has been made. I would love to thank my team for helping and we hope that we gain more members to our community. We have a strong category structure and all pages are categorised.

TheWWC 19:50, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Classic Car Wiki looks like it is in great shape and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:40, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Re: | Lego Critics
| Lego Critics Is finally 200 pages,(actully 201) and is ready for the request! thanks 64.252.205.202 16:09, November 1, 2011 (UTC) Sorry! Not logged in : Bob bricks  Talk 16:09, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Congratulations on reaching 200 pages!  There are a few more spotlight criteria that you would need to meet before being approved for a spotlight.  Your main page needs to be spruced up; it should not have the "in progress" template right at the top, it needs an image, and I strongly recommend that you change the colors; grey on red is very hard to read.  You would need to categorize all of your articles; right now about 125 of them are uncategorized.  Given that it is such a high fraction of your total articles I am guessing that you may also need to work on expanding your category structure to keep everything organized.  Finally, you would need to have 200 non-stub content pages.  Right now you have about 92 "stubs", in the sense of pages shorter than 300bytes.  Let me know on my talk page when you have had a chance to work on these issues and I will be happy to look again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:51, November 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've just gotten through categorizing what articles I could. There were some which couldn't be categorized. I don't know how many, but whatever their number, it's far below the maximum percentage. I also had to move a few pages out of mainspace which shouldn't have been there, causing their article count to dip below 200. There were a few times when I was trying to move a page out of mainspace and I hit a throttle, so there are still some which need to be moved. In any case I just got elected as an admin at Autopedia, so between that, Gran Turismo Wiki and all my other stuff I won't be able to help much further. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 00:20, November 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow! Nice start on that -- there were a lot of things that needed touch up, and it was really nice of you to help them out. However, all of the pages do need to be categorized and a category structure which can encompass all pages (except possibly the main page) created.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:39, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Soccer Wiki
Hi! I'm Crazed Penguin, Admin at Soccer Wiki. I think we should have a spotlight. 22:02, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

You have 218 Uncategorized Pages you need to have all those pages categorized first, : Bob bricks  Talk 


 * Hi. Soccer Wiki looks like it is growing quickly.  Unfortunately, nearly 2/3rds of the content pages appear to be very short, stub-length (less than 300 byte) pages; these would need to be expanded so that no more than about 60 (1/5th of the total content) are stub-length and/or marked as stubs.  Unfortunately you no longer appear to be an admin at Soccer Wiki; however looking at the rights log it appears that the admin situation there is fairly unstable.  In order to be spotlighted the wiki would need to be more stable.  Please feel free to ask, or have one of the admins ask, again when the wiki can meet all of the spotlight criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:57, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Ben 10 Fan Fiction (approved)
I would like to request a spotlight for Ben 10 Fan Fiction. The picture would be the one here (cropped and/or resized however needed) and the text would say "Make Your Own Ultimate Aliens". The wiki meets all of the criteria:


 * I'm an admin. Proof
 * There are over 9,000 pages.
 * The main page has (counts on fingers) four or five pictures right now, plus links to important things.
 * Most pages, not just content ones, are categorized. I often check and empty Special:UncategorizedPages.
 * No upheavals.
 * Of course we use the welcome tool!
 * Not quite the standard, but it links to important things, such as the forums, our answers site, and our newsletter.
 * Black and green, the Omnitrix colors. Plus, Monobook! (Credit for most of that goes to Jäzzi.)
 * No. Way. The Block List is full of people who tried to get away with that.

So, I hope the wiki's good enough. We have community agreement, too.

Roads (The Techical Update we've all been waiting for: category redlinks are back! *sigh*) 16:07, November 2, 2011 (UTC)

You Have 11 uncato pages, fix those and this will happen NOT A OFFICAL RESPONCE


 * If so, then either the page hasn't refreshed, or eleven new uncategorized pages were created recently.


 * Roads (The Techical Update we've all been waiting for: category redlinks are back! *sigh*) 18:21, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fixed. This page and that one are supposed to be uncategorized for technical reasons. Other than that, all is fixed. Now we just have to wait for it to refresh...

Gran Turismo Wiki (approved)
Hi, I'd like to request a spotlight for Gran Turismo Wiki.

Does it meet the rules?
The requestor should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight.

I am the founder and lead administrator of the wiki.

'''The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.'''

We have 479 articles, 37 of which weigh in at under 200 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 for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.'''

We have both a picture and many links to content. We had a history of MP vandalism back in the day, which is why it's semiprotected.

'''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).'''

We have many categories for all sorts of content, and I've just finished categorizing all pages which weren't categorized already.

The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.

The biggest upheaval in GTW history was in 2008 when we had three users apply to become administrators almost at once. This was dealt with in a matter of days and the wiki has been running smoothly ever since. We are currently undergoing an update to "Gran Turismo Wiki: Spec 2.0," but all this is is basically changing the main page and a few other things - not really an upheaval, just a few adjustments made to make the place more fun and friendly.

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.)

We use the Wikia welcome tool, and it says @sysop.

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

We update Community Corner from time to time with news concerning both the Gran Turismo series of racing games and the site.

The wiki should have a customized skin.

We have a beautiful red-and-black theme complete with custom background and transparency. Additionally, JoePlay, as part of our Spec 2.0 update, just finished turning what few parts of the wiki which weren't customized black in order for these to fit the theme better.

The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.

We have a de facto policy against anything even mildly offensive. Not many offensive things are submitted to the wiki, and those that are get dealt with quickly. The last offensive edit was saved in 2008 and survived less than a day, as I recall.

Thanks for reading, and I hope this goes through. If you wish to contact me, I'd suggest my talk page at Gran Turismo Wiki, since I visit GTW everyday. Cheers! -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 01:18, November 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Gran Turismo Wiki is in great shape -- thanks for taking the time to make sure it met all the criteria before asking for the spolight.  I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 06:29, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Kid vs Kat Wiki
hi, i know im not much of a talker, but id like kid vs kat wiki to be a spotlight, me and some admins work with all users, so far we've only had 2 bans in 2 years of it being fixed up, and it now a mega hit, we've even meet the author of the kid vs kat show himself, who gives us trivia, and gave us hints on new season, im proud of this wiki, so much care has been put into it, and even thoe the show ended, it still being edited, it a true place for fans to come, and having it on a spotlight will final show that kid vs kat wiki is a true fan site, for years to come, if there any errors on wiki, please report it, and we'll take a look at it, thanks :) -- 16:33, November 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Kid vs. Kat Wiki looks great and I can see why you are so proud of it. Could you please drop the edit protection level on the main page to protect only against new users and anonymous editors?  You also have about 150 uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Finally, over 400 of the pages, about 1/3rd of the content, are short pages less than 300 bytes.  Quite a few are blank in fact.  Could you please work on expanding these?  For a spotlight, stub/short pages should be no more than 1/5th of the total content; right now that would be about 275 pages.  Let me know on my talk page (or respond to the thread on your wall on the wiki) when you have had a chance to address these changes and I will look again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:38, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

MarioWiki
Hello there. I'm Rainbowroad6w, administrator at MarioWiki. I'm requesting spotlight specifically for the Super Mario 3D Land page, considering the video game is releasing in a little less than a week. I was wondering if we could have this put up on spotlight. Thanks! :-) --Rainbowroad6w, the researcher. ( Talk )( Recent finds and updates. ) 00:39, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. MarioWiki looks generally pretty good.  I see that you have over 800 articles in your stub category.  That would need to be decreased to no more than 1/5th of your content, or about 560 pages.  You would also need to turn back on the Welcome bot (Mediawiki:Welcome-user should be set to @latest or @sysop or the name of a sysop).  Please let me know on my talk page when you have had a chance to straighten out the stubs and turn on the welcome message and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:51, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Adele Wiki
Hi, I know that my wiki does not have 200 non-stub articles, but I would like to request a spotlight for it because I am well aware that you guys pick a select few wikis. I'm using the Britney Spears Wiki as an example, but even though I am not a fan of hers, I checked out the wiki just for the hell of it and found that it did not have a lot of well-organized articles and did not have 200 non-stub articles (they didn't even have 200 articles). Now, if Britney is popular enough to get a spotlight, then can you please take into consideration getting a spotlight for my wiki, the Adele Wiki, which is dedicated to the British pop star. (She performed "Rolling in the Deep", FYI...) Anyways, can you please just take my offer into consideration??? I really need the help on the wiki and I know I could get some more users with a spotlight! :) Thanks for your time. ---Tsu&#39;tey♫ 00:09, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

I'd also like to request a spotlight for it because beginning in December, we will be having kind of a... holiday-related series of blogs with Christmas media from Adele that I think many Adele fans will take interest in! :) Thanks for your time! ---Tsu&#39;tey♫ 20:39, November 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. There are two types of spotlights.  Most of the spotlights are wikis chosen by the content team to be highlighted.  Those wikis do not have to meet the spotlight criteria listed here, because they are not requested by the wiki itself.


 * Then there are wikis which request a spotlight -- we wanted to make sure other good wikis had a chance to be highlighted. In order to keep the requests fair (any wiki can get a spotlight if they meet the criteria) and also to keep the numbers from being overwhelming (there are a lot of wikis), a set of best-practices/criteria was developed for the requested spotlights.  So unfortunately Adele wiki cannot get a spotlight through this requests page because it does not yet meet the spotlight criteria.  It looks like you are doing a nice job on the wiki, and I hope you will ask again when you reach 200 pages.


 * If you have some special event (eg. an exclusive or semi-exclusive interview, etc.) then you can send a note to Special:Contact and we will make sure the content team knows about it; they may choose to spotlight the event for you. From your description of your blogs I am not quite sure what they are, so if you want to pursue this please make sure to describe what is happening in more detail :).  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:04, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Question
hello, i'm spottedstar42, admin of a few small wikis with only a few editors, and i have a question about some of the spotlight requirements. (I'm sorry if you're not supposed to put questions here, but i couldn't find anywhere else to ask) It says you can't have more than 1/5 of your wiki's pages be Shortpages, but when i go to Special:ShortPages, it says all of my wiki pages are shortpages. how long do the pages have to be before they aren't Shortpages anymore? The wiki i'm working on (Living on our own Wiki) only has two contributors, including me, so i want to be nice enough to be put up for a spotlight, but i really can't if all my pages are ShortPages.(and just a note, i can't put this wiki up for a spotlight request yet, because it only has 155 pages) anyway, can someone help me with that?21:43,11/11/2011 21:43, November 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * ShortPages lists all of your wiki's pages in order of how big their files are. Usually they only count pages which are less than 200 bytes as stubs. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 04:44, November 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. You can ask general questions like this on my talk page directly (I'll see  them much sooner).  Gp75motorsports is mostly correct, except that we count pages less than 300 bytes as stubs.  ShortPages actually lists the 1000 shortest pages on the wiki; if you have less than 1000 pages it will always show every page.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:08, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki (approved)
Hello! I'm Dentface a Sysop on the POTCO Wiki, which is a Wiki about Disney's MMORPG, Pirates Online. Were getting close to our 2,000 page mark, and a monumental expansion, Ship Customization is coming out very, very soon. Seeing both of these big events are coming up, we feel that a spotlight would be a good thing to do. We also have a very established category system, which we take pride it. Most of our admins (including myself) work very well with photoshop and MediaWiki, making the wiki's design very appealing to the eye. If we do get accepted, I would like our spotlight to show emphasis on Ship Customization. If possible, could you use this picture in the spotlight? Thanks for your time in reading this, and I hope we get a spotlight! Note: We're different than the POTCO Players Wiki, and are the factual counterpart of them, just to straighten out any confusion there may be :D --<font face="Comic Sans MS" size=4> D e  n  t  <font face="Romance Fatal Serif" font color="03dbb0">--Talk  19:34, November 12, 2011 (UTC)

Donkey Kong Wiki (approved)
Hi, me again, requesting a different wiki to be spotlighted. Donkey Kong Wiki is in need of new editors (as we only have 5 active editors), so we are requesting a spotlight. We have a little less than 1/5 of our articles as stubs, and no uncategorized pages, we are currently a stable place, and our main page is unlocked. -- 19:24, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

Eddsworld Wiki
The Eddsworld Wiki is a wiki for the webseries Eddsworld. You can find it at http://eddsworld.co.uk/. I feel like this wiki needs a spotlight because usually people who just started Wikia edit here and rarely ever since I became admin the wiki has become less popular, which I am worried about. I am doing this spotlight because the wiki deserves attention and has not gotten it yet. Reviewportal77 23:45, November 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry you are having trouble finding editors. The wiki is in good shape, however there are about 50 uncategorized pages -- could you please sort them out? Let me know on my talk page when you've finished and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:18, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi. Music Video Wiki looks good, and would just need a few tweaks to be spotlighted.  Could you please customize the community-corner?

Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these things and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:34, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Roller Coaster Custom Wiki
Hello, I am Kata89, the admin of the wiki. The wiki focuses on custom coasters made by other users. We have 34 pages right now, but I know we can be spotlighted because the Kinect Wiki got spotlighted with 28. We have five users. But we really would need more. The home page is in great condition. It includes a slider, links, polls, information on the wiki and links to forums. The wiki also has a terms of use. There is no arugments or anything like that happening right now. Actually, there never has been. There is no inapropriate content on the wiki. I really would apprectiate it if this wiki would be spotlighted. Here is a link to the home page: RollerCoasterCustomWiki.com. Ruler of the coasters 20:43, November 16, 2011 (UTC)Kata89

This isn't a official response but thought i'd let you know that you wiki needs at least 200 content pages. :)

 * I just answered this for the Adele Wiki request, so I am going to cut and paste the explanation here; please forgive the duplication.


 * There are two types of spotlights. Most of the spotlights are wikis chosen by the content team to be highlighted. Those wikis do not have to meet the spotlight criteria listed here, because they are not requested by the wiki itself.


 * Then there are wikis which request a spotlight -- we wanted to make sure other good wikis had a chance to be highlighted.

So unfortunately your wiki cannot get a spotlight through this requests page because it does not yet meet the spotlight criteria. It looks like you are doing a nice job on the wiki, and I hope you will ask again when you reach 200 pages.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 19:13, November 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hi. Its me again from spotlighting RareWiki. I was wondering... could you guys please advertise Pikmin? Thanks. Barely any stubs so... yeah :p.Here is the link. Conker&#39;s Bad Fur Day 22:19, November 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Note: I am a sysop of this wiki.


 * Hi. Pikmin is in pretty good shape overall, but would need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria. Could you please customize the community corner?  Also there are a few uncategorized pages.  Finally you would need to reduce the number of short stub pages.  Right now you have about 450 pages shorter than 300 bytes, which is more than 1/3rd of your content.  In order to be spotlighted the wiki would need to have only 1/5th of the content in stub pages, or about 250 pages.  Please feel free to ask again when you've had a chance to expand the content on the wiki!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:44, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

My Little Brony Wiki (approved)
Hello Wikia Central :) I'm the founder of http://mylittlebrony.wikia.com/?redirect=no and i'm here to apply for a spotlight (At least i think this is the right page). I beleive My Little Brony Wiki has And finally, our article stubs are under the borderline. By the way, we have gallery pages in order to stop users from flooding the main article page with pictures :) Some of them only have a few pictures, although when users begin to join our wiki, i'll be sure that they'll add some pictures for other users to look at!
 * More than 200 pages
 * The main page has more than one picture
 * All pages are categorized (I checked them last night, they might not be updated yet)
 * We're not in the middle of choosing an admin
 * We have a skin and we love to use our community messages

Why are we different from My little pony wiki? (http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic_Wiki) We are different from MLP Wiki because we accept fan fic and fan art. I made this wiki for fans to enjoy and learn about My Little Pony, and for them to share their fan fic plus fan art with the community. MLP Wiki shows a ZERO tolerance to fan fic or fan art. I find it quite upsetting that the fans of My Little Pony Wiki aren't allowed to share their love for My little pony by not being able to have their fan art or fan fics get featured on the main page or a separate section. I'm hoping that if we have the spotlight, My Little Pony fans will then find us the perfect place to socialize, learn and share their fan fics plus art.

Why is our article count higher than MLP Wikis? This is because we write about the Background ponies that appear in the show. My Little pony only have a vague list of background ponies, giving a brief description of %80 of the background ponies. Although with us, we actually make a WHOLE article dedicated to the background pony, writing about their appearance, the episode they appeared in, etc. Users will find our wiki quite useful if they want to learn a specific background character.

On MLB Wiki, we like ti get our users involved in a lot of activities, and make their time at our wiki fun. We have 6 sections dedicated to our users on our main page, informing them on the latest what. We haven't started the system yet since not many pony fans know about us, due to MLP Wiki being on top of the google search engine, pushing us down. We'd love it if we were able to get this spotlight in order to attract new users on our site! :)

Thank you for your time central wikia! I really appreciate it :). If we do not meet the standards of getting the spotlight, please tell us so we can improve our wiki and try again next time! :D Kellyn|Talky 07:33, November 24, 2011 (UTC)

Dumbledoree's Army RolePlay Wiki (approved)
Hi! I would like to request spotlight. I think we meet the criteria. Thanks so much for your time. Head of Ravenclaw (Talk | Contribs) 20:58, November 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * The requestor should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight.
 * I am a bureaucrat on this wiki
 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.
 * We have 275 pages and only 25 stubs, way under the limit.
 * 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 for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.
 * We have many pictures and important links. It is sysop protected because there is a history of vandalism, and users have decided to just add whatever they feel like. Still, if you would like use to downgrade the protection, we will.
 * 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).
 * Empty. There may be 1-10 pages do the caching delays, but we do our best to keep it empty.
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
 * We are done choosing new admins. We are working to make the wiki better, but not an upheavel. Just some things needing fixed!
 * 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.)
 * Used with @sysop
 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)
 * Used for announcements all the time.
 * The wiki should have a customized skin.
 * Joeplay just helped us create a beautiful main page. We also have a custom backround and design.
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.
 * One of our biggest policies. CLEAN STUFF ONLY.


 * Hi. Dumbledore's Army Role-Play Wiki looks like it is in good shape and I have added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:29, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Songpedia
Hello, I'm Jeffwang16, and I am currently an administrator and a bureaucrat on Songpedia (verify) and I would like to request a spotlight for our wiki. Why? The wiki is in very good shape, we have many songs with lyrics, so contributors can listen, edit, and even have their own playlist, which replaces the watchlist!


 * 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 am an admin, that's how I changed Community Corner...


 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.
 * Whoa, all yes!!


 * 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 for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.
 * Our main page is fully protected and the template supporting the mainpage (Template:Mainpage), however, Template:Mainpage uses Template:Mainpageleft and Template:Mainpageright, which are free for autoconfirmed to edit. If this is not okay, please change it for me.


 * 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).
 * Done, and if you think it's unclear, please show and tell me, it's constructive criticism!


 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
 * We are done with everything, but we still have everyday maintenance tasks.


 * 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.)
 * @sysop is what we have it as.


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


 * The wiki should have a customized skin.
 * Yes.


 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.
 * Only in quotes and lyrics we allow it. Is that not okay? Also, we will get oversight to delete edits if necessary (aka yuck images).

The image we would like to use would be w:c:song:File:Wiki-wordmark.png, and our little "description" will be (without the quotations) "Listen to music or help us edit, all on Songpedia!".

Nerf Blaster Wiki (2) (approved)
Nerf Blaster Wiki is a hard working community right now with just over 800 articles. [nerfipedia.wikia.com] Here is the link to it. We have actually gone through a phase in which we are removing a lot of articles which no longer relate to the topic, but we also have a lot of new information to add. While removing old articles we have been gradually adding information to smaller articles. Around half of our articles have 1000+ bytes, which is pretty good. Articles under 400 bytes? We have four. There's no broken redirects, uncategorized pages and very few double redirects which can easily be removed. The main page is outdated, but it suits the wiki and has some pictures. We already had this wiki go through spotlight, but it missed due to simple errors which are all fixed. Hope you take this into consideration, 17:04, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * It's not like it's a major thing, I got rid of some older articles that didn't relate to the topic. It wont get denied just because I removed some articles with poor grammar that had a very little byte count. The wiki itself is very peaceful, with maximum around 4 writers a week.

Hello, I'd like to request the Bakugan Wikia for a Spotlight. We have 3,800+ articles, and possibly more soon, and with stable admins and articles.

I'm just a bit curious, is it possible to do the art yourself? I see it on the list of upcoming ones, unless I'm mistaken. Also, could we set a date, so in goes along with our Wikia's anniversary, on March 14th?

 * Hi. Which list of upcoming spotilghts did you mean?  If content team decides to highlight the wiki they do the art.  If you request a spotlight here you may suggest an image to be used; they frequently will use them but have the final decision on it.


 * In terms of a request, you would need to re-enable the automatic welcome tool. Also, you would need to fix the text on the main page.  Right now it is black on black :).  Let me know on my talk page when you have addressed these issues and I will be happy to add Bakugan Wiki to the approved spotlight list on this page.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:33, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Pixie Wiki
I was wondering if the Pixie Wiki could be spotlighted. I guess you can say that the wiki isn't just all about pixies but other sprites and folkloric creatures too, so that's one reason why it doesn't really deserve a spotlight :P But I really think that the wiki could use some more editors and contributors. I've build the wiki really well and tried improving it as much as I can though now that everything's settled and there's not much to do, I haven't been editing much lately and I guess it could use a lot more content. But I've worked really hard on the wiki and I think that it deserves a spotlight somehow... tell me if it's okay :) (Oh and we don't have a lot of admins because there are only 4 contributors to the wiki)

 * This belongs on the spotlights requests page. <span style="color:#FF2525;" title="Merry Christmas!">Annawantimes   <span style="color:#006400;" title="And a Happy New Year!">(Talk)  00:12, December 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Lego Harry Potter Wiki looks like a lot of fun, but unfortunately it does not meet all of the requested spotlight criteria. In order to be spotlighted you would need to drop the protection on the main page to only block unregistered users and new accounts from editing.  You would also need to customize the Community Corner.  There are about 80 pages that need to be categorized.

Finally you would need to strengthen your content a bit. The spotlight criteria is to have 200 non-stub articles. You have 217 articles, so that means an allowed 17 stubs. While you only have 4 pages under 300 bytes in length, which is the typical "stub-length", you have about 50 pages which are completely empty except for a 336 byte placeholder template. So you would need to fill in real content for about 40 of those 50 pages in order to meet the 200 non-stub pages requirement for a spotlight.

Please let me know on my talk page when the wiki can meet all the spotlight criteria, or, if it has been awhile, make a new request at that time. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:16, December 16, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi. Recess Wiki's new front page looks great!  There are a few tweaks it needs to meet the spotlight criteria.  You would need to drop the main page protection to only block unregistered users (and new accounts) rather than all non-sysops.  The community corner needs to be customized.

 * Hi. I'm sorry for the delay in answering your spotlight request.  Your wiki is in generally good shape, except that the main page could use an image or two -- for some reason the "recent images" module isn't working at the moment and it is buried at the bottom anyhow.  A nice image to draw the reader in at the top would be helpful.   You would also need to drop the edit protection on that page to only protect against new and anonymous users.   It looks like you haven't yet customized the Community Corner message.   Let me know on my talk page or on your message wall when you have taken care of these issues!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:55, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Backyard Monsters Wiki
Backyard Monsters Wiki is a wiki about Backyard Monsters, with a severe lack of good editors. Only 7 people contributed more than 100 times. leohuangchunwang 14:20, December 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Backyard Monsters looks like a very fun place to edit.  It would need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  The floating image on the right hand side is blocking wiki functionality and needs to be either moved or taken down completely.  Also you have a few too many short articles.  Normally the criteria I use for stub articles is less than about 300bytes in length, but after looking through your content, most articles of that length on your site only contain a few words and maybe an icon -- the rest is templates.  So in this case 400 bytes is a better guide, so that there are a least a few sentences of text content.  You would need to have no more than 60 pages shorter than 400 bytes.  Let me know on my talk page when you've had a chance to work on the content and I'll check again. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:27, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Alternate History Wiki (approved)
I'm currently the lead member of the administrative team at this wiki. We've been spotlighted at some point in the distant past, I believe, though not recently by any means.

We've had a slight dip in users, etc. the last few months, and could really use some new blood around, especially to contribute to things other than the games people have made on the wiki. Plus, our 7th anniversary is coming up very soon.

To the best of my knowledge - we have about 17,000 articles now, so it's hard to be exact - the only issue could possibly be that our main page is protected. But, it's been that way for years following some vandalism well before my time, and there's been a number of occasions in the last year alone where people have vandalized things at random around the wiki, so it's really something that is needed.

Thank you for your time.

 * Just to let you know, (this isn't the official response though), but when the criteria says "200 non-stub pages", they generally class anything under 300 bytes to be a stub. You can see here how big all your pages are, and at the minute you have 54 stub pages and 163 non-stub pages.-- Category:Acer4666 13:40, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

MotorStorm Wiki (approved)
I am the current active admin. of the MotorStorm Wiki. A frequent user suggested that I nominate the wiki for the Spotlight. I think the wiki could definitely use some additional attention - many fans of the MotorStorm game series don't know it exists! (although this may partially be due to the fact that many fans are non-english speakers). When I found the wiki myself about a year ago, it was in poor condition, with only 80 pages, with at least a dozen being duplicates. After being given administrative abilities by Ausir, myself and a few others raised the page count to 350 and added thousands of photos. Most of this info and photos came from various sources scattered around the internet, most of which is hard to find. We at the wiki have tried to make it the ultimate source for information on this game. http://motorstorm.wikia.com/wiki/MotorStorm_Wiki

Chelsea F.C. Wikia
I would like to request a spotlight for the Chelsea F.C. Wiki. It is in great shape and has no major flaws that I know about. This would help bring in more users that could contribute a lot to the site. IGeek 00:58, January 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry but in order to be spotlighted through this page, wikis need to meet our spotlight criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content pages.  Your wiki looks really nice, and I hope you will ask again when it has had a chance to grow a bit!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:30, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

League of Legends Wiki Spotlight
Hello. I am once again requesting a spotlight for LoL Wiki. The image we'd like to use for the next spotlight is this one. Also the caption for our spotlight can be, "Enter the Institute of War. Summon your champion upon the Fields of Justice!" Thank you!


 * Hi. While we are happy to give a wiki a second spotlight, we do ask that you wait a bit before requesting a third.  The goal is to spotlight a variety of wikis through these requests, and not the same ones over and over :).  Feel free to ask again next fall.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:33, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Wiggle Time Wiki
Can Wiggle Time Wiki Be In The Spotlight?

Steps Are Here

The Wiki Has:

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 for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.

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).

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

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- ATDVD, Signing Out 04:07, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Teen Titans Fan Fiction Wiki (approved)
I'd like to request a spotlight for Teen Titans Fan Fiction Wiki. We currently have 282 articles, all pages are categorized, and about three members of the community are active, so we need the Spotlight fairly urgently. The image can be whatever you choose, you guys always pick good ones anyway. Cheers, 07:27, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

GTA V Wiki
Hello, I'm joshualeverburg1 and am requesting that the GTA V Wiki be put up for spotlight. I am a administrator and am in contact with the founder and can say that we would both would love the wiki to be put up for spotlight. Our wiki is a little slim on articals (around 50) but since it is just me and the founder editing we desparetly need the spotlight to attract people to our wiki. The GTA V wiki is focused around the upcoming video game Grand Theft Auto V so we only have the little information we put on our wiki since the game has not been relessed yet. Our wiki is though very organized and updated frequently, we also have a custom backround. The GTA Wiki (not to be confused with GTA V Wiki) dominates the six GTA related games, where as we focuss our attention to covering in detail GTA V. A lot of people like the GTA games and are very much antisipating GTA V, so I have no doubt that we would get large amounts of traffic. I would really appreciate it if we could get the spotlight as we really need it. Thankyou

The Fallout Wiki
Hei, my name is Leon and I am an Admin at Nukapedia. We have had much of our community split off from us ever since Ausir decided to leave and work for Curse, and we are now looking for social and professional editors to help fill the void that we've been feeling ever since. We currently have over 15k pages and we have a constantly active and friendly community always working to make our wiki the best it can be. Thank you for reading and we'll be looking forward to the chance of being considered worthy of a spotlight. We hope to see you soon! <font color= "Grey"> Skål! 05:19, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Neopets wiki
Neopets wiki was featured a couple months back. Now I'm getting a steady flow of users.like... 2 or 3. I want to build upon that with a spotlight. Neopets wiki is a HUGE topic with 12 YEARS of history and I can't do that with the people I currently have now. THere are pages that need to be added and formatted and I need more editors! =)

Hogwarts RPG Wiki
Hi. I'm Head of Ravenclaw and I'm here to request a spotlight.

That's me, an admin! Got lots of pages with hardly any stubs. It is sysop protected, since we have had vandalism there in the past. Otherwise, we meet the criteria. Only one page, that will remove the category after its added. Stable. All admins are choosen. Always. @latest Change it every now and then. Customized, thanks to our coder Bachlynn23. Clean stuff only.
 * 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.
 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.
 * 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 for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.
 * 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).
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
 * 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 wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)
 * The wiki should have a customized skin.
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.

Thanks!

Join MoonClan Wikia
Hi! Join MoonClan wikia is a Warrior cats RolePlaying wikia, created and run by yours truly :) I understand that the amount of pages in low, but as the wiki is RolePlay, an excessive number of pages isn't needed.

I've worked hard on the wiki, and since its almost a year old, I thought it was time to request Spotlight :) Thanks! -  Stargaze   <sup style="font-family:Arial Bold;color:#8B0A50"> 66   19:29, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hero Tower Defense
I am rocketslime_1_1 from the Hero Tower Defense Wiki. Hero Tower Defense is a new game from Sam & Dan games that combines the elements of an rpg game and a tower defense game. We are currently a small well made wiki that not many people know about, so I think a spotlight would help us get more editors.

AEMH wiki
AEMH or Avengers:Earth's Mightiest Heroes, has it's own wiki. It's steadily growing and I'd like to cash in on this with a spotlight. We need to get our season 1 pages fixed up because season 2 comes out on April 1'st.

Yes I'm asking for another spotlight on another wiki because I'm an admin on more than one wiki :P AEMH wiki

Hello. I'm an admin of the April Showers Wiki.

John Carter wiki
The movie is going to be coming out soon, so either (or both) Johncarter.wikia.com or Barsoom.wikia.com have to be spotlighted. It is probably planned already by you folks, but I thought it would be a good idea to remind you. Barsoom.wikia.com is a wiki devoted to all things John Carter, and Johncarter.wikia.com is devoted solely to the film!

I really want to help promote disneys upcoming science fiction epic, as there has been some negative criticism of the project that is completely unfounded. ralok 12:58, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
