Skip Beat! Wiki (approved)
I am the only administrator/bureaucrat of the Skip Beat! Wiki and I would like to request another spotlight. The last one was last March. Now, I could say that it is more developed than last time with better templates and new articles so I really hope that this spotlight could attract new viewers and possible editors. Like last time, The wiki is not in the middle of choosing an admin and it is a friendly place right now. The wiki also uses the Welcome tool, have the Community corner customized and have a customized skin. If approved: Image // Title: Skip Beat! Wiki // Caption: The magnificent show-biz challenge. Thank you for your consideration :) Queennicolee  •  Talk  02:47, December 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * The wiki has 600+ pages and only have 11 stub pages. It doesn't have any articles less than 300 bytes.
 * The main page links to all the important pages of the wiki and it is semi-protected.
 * Special:UncategorizedPages is empty. In addition to that, Special:UncategorizedFiles and Special:UncategorizedTemplates are also empty and all the files have proper licensing within them.


 * Hello. Skip Beat! Wiki looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:55, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

Slush Invaders Wiki (approved)
Hi I'm Ultra, creator of the Slush Invaders wiki. I'd like to request a spotlight for my wiki with http://slushinvaders.wikia.com/wiki/File:Capture.PNG as a picture and a caption: "Home of the Neon Fighters of Awesomeness!" Here is the link to an admin more active than I: http://slushinvaders.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Fan_of_Wiki.

 * Hello. Slush Invaders Wiki is in pretty good shape but it does have a few uncategorized pages.  Can you sort those out? Let me know on my wall when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wikia to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 05:02, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

UnAnything Wiki (approved)
I'm Thebiguglyalien, administrator of the UnAnything Wiki. We've decided that we want a spotlight to help promote our wiki. We got one about a year ago, so I think we still have everything we need to qualify for a spotlight. ' Thebiguglyalien ( Yell at me here )' 22:28, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

Night World Wiki
Night World Wiki could really need some more contributors, and we definitely meet all the requirements for a spotlight:


 * The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wikia who agrees to the spotlight. (Admin)
 * The wikia should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Stub, or 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. (Number of content pages, number of short pages, and articles marked with a stub template)
 * The main page 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; protecting against anonymous editors and new accounts is ok. (Main page)
 * There should be a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty). (List of uncategorized pages)
 * The community should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. (Forum and blog posts)
 * The wikia should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.) (Welcome tool)
 * The message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity should be customized. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) (Community Center)
 * The wikia should have a customized skin. (Customized skin)
 * The wikia should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. (List of images)

 * Hello. Night World Wiki looks really good in general, but it is just a touch shy of the needed 200 content pages.  It has 202 pages total and 15 of them marked as stubs.  Please work on strengthening those pages so they can lose their stub templates and let me know on my wall when you are ready for me to check again! -- Wendy  (talk ) 13:59, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

Alternate Future Wiki (approved)
I am requesting a spotlight for Alternate Future Wiki, using this picture with the description "Write an alternate future history now!" I am the founder, there is 343 pages in total, only a few stubs and almost all pages are categorized. Ismael Perez  Ψ  (talk • contribs • blog) 20:38, December 26, 2014 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm Boogly22238, an admin at the Mixels Wiki. I'd like to sign up for a spotlight, perhaps with, as in February Series 4 will be coming, and more later on. Could we use the caption "Hang out with the Mixels!"? Thank you! --Boogly22238, January 2, 2015

Batman: Guardian of Gotham Wiki
My name is Brandon Baker and I would like a spotlight for my wikia Batman: Guardian of Gotham.


 * Hello. Batman: Guardian of Gotham Wiki looks great -- very atmospheric.  That said, it has too many stub articles to be spotlighted at this time.  Stubs must make up no more than about 1/5th, or 60 pages on the wikia.  Right now you have about 90 pages that are shorter than 300 bytes, and most of those are template episode pages with no information.  There are handful of slightly longer pages that are also just the template, and those count as stubs as well.  Please feel free to ask again when you have had a chance to strengthen the content on your wikia and fill in some of these blank pages with at least a little information.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:14, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Ellie Goulding third album
Hi, I'm Azending the admin of: elliegoulding.wikia.com

I was wondering if my wiki can go on spotlight EVEN WITHOUT THE REQUIRED SPOTLIGHT LIST because Ellie is releasing her third album THIS YEAR. One of her singles for Fifty Shades of Grey premiered today: http://elliegoulding.wikia.com/wiki/Love_Me_Like_You_Do_(song) and that means her third album's information will get closer and closer. I was wondering if you could give everyone a heads up that Ellie is releasing her album "Soon"! See here for more info: http://elliegoulding.wikia.com/wiki/Third_album_(album)

If you are (please :D) going to, can you make the title: "Ellie Goulding new album #Soon", the subtitle: "Read all about Ellie's upcoming 3rd album" or something. And, also, can you make the artwork any two shown in the pictures or anything from Ellie Goulding's latest Nike photoshoot here: http://elliegoulding.wikia.com/wiki/Nike or the "Beating Heart cover".

I seriously understand that there needs to be atleast 200 articles, but Ellie doesn't have that many songs.

THANKS! :)

Austin & Ally Wiki (approved)
Hi wikia staff, I would like to request a spotlight for the Austin & Ally Wiki! Austin & Ally is entering it's fourth season and the season four premiere episode premieres January 18th! Season four is actually a big season for Austin & Ally because this season was not guranteed to actually happen and the fans had to fight for it. We trended "#AustinAndAllySeasonFour" many times on Twitter January-March last year. We proved that we deserved the season and the show was picked up. This is also likely the last season for the show since Disney never goes to a fifth season. We would like to use this picture for the spotlight:

And for the saying underneath, it'd be great if it said "#AustinAndAllySeason4 is here!" It'd nicely reference the thing that played a huge part in bringing the season to TV. :) Thank you! :)

Disney Channel Wiki (approved)
Hello, I'm an admin on disneychannel.wikia.com. On behalf of the administration I would like to request a spotlight for our wiki. The channel is going to have a lot of session premiers in the next few weeks, and I believe that it would be a huge marketing value for Wikia. If at all possible we would like a promotion within the Entertainment hub, just like Austin and Ally had at the Lifestyles Hub. http://austinally.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Asnow89/Season_4_Premiere_Party_Menu. I know that that information doesn't affect a global spotlight, I just wanted to put it out there. Thanks for all your help!

~ Awesome <span title="Message me!" style="color:#40BFFF;">Orange 89, Executive Manager on the DC Wiki


 * Hello. I cannot help with the hub promotion. In terms of a spotlight, Disney Channel Wiki looks pretty good but you do have some uncategorized pages.  Please let me know on my wall when you have sorted those out and I will be happy to add the wikia to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:50, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

United States Counties Wiki (Countypedia) (approved)
Hello. I would like to submit the United States Counties Wiki (Countypedia) http://countypedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_United_States_Counties_Wiki for a spotlight. I have returned on the wiki after a few months of absence and I found out the place was dying. I feel that with the recent Senate elections, people will learn to understand more about our 3,141 counties and how they operate. I would prefer a large county map of the U.S. with the subtitle "Learn about our 3K+ counties!" CalzoneManiac (talk) 01:24, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki
Hi! I'm ShatterClub, and I'm the senior bureaucrat at TOR Wiki. We applied and got a approved for a spotlight back in 2013 (link), and are requesting one again in the hopes that we can draw in more interested users and build a larger community. I've checked us out, and it looks like we fit all the requirements except for the stubs, which is something else we also would like more users for. Aside from that, I think we fit the bill on everything else, but if not, message me and we'll do what we can to fix any lingering problems.

Let me know if this is possible. We look forward to hearing for you! <font face="Fantasy"> ShatterClub  |<font face="Arial">  Message Wall  23:12, January 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello. TOR Wiki is in generally good shape, although for a spotlight you would need to lower the main page protection to only block new and unregistered users.  However the stubs are a problem; 1/5th of your content would be about 800 pages and you have over 1400 marked as stubs.  You would need to clean out the category and unmark some of the longer articles before the wikia could be spotlighted.  Please let me know on my wall if you do that and want me to check again! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:03, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Flame star  22  20:15, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello. FlameClan Roleplaying Wiki looks great in general.

The Young and the Restless Wiki (approved)
Hello! I would like to request a spotlight for The Young and the Restless Wiki. The Y&R Wiki is a growing community of fans and editors dedicated to all things Y&R! We would love for our Wiki to become a one-stop source for everything Y&R related. We have recently expanded our Wiki with many new articles and images. We are building up a great community and I would love to attract even more users to our Wiki, who will register and join our budding community.

If possible I would like to use this in the spotlight with the description "Find out the latest happenings in Genoa City and keep up with all your favorite characters on The Young and the Restless Wiki". I have reviewed the guidelines and found that we meet them all. We do have a few stub pages but we are working on updating those and would love for new contributors to help us with the task. I am an active admin on the Wiki if you have any questions or requests.

Thanks and I look forward to hearing your response! --LehuaRose (talk) 00:40, January 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello. The Young and the Restless Wiki is in generally good shape -- your main page image map is fantastic!  That said, you do have a number of uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out in order for the wikia to be spotlighted.

Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki (approved)
Hi, I'm one of the admins at the Hypothetical Hurricanes Wiki and I'm requesting for a spotlight to take place for that wiki. It meets about all of the guidelines and lately we've been improving that wiki so it could qualify. I've just categorized the last of the pages that needed categorization (there was once more than a thousand pages in that category) and all of the other guidelines are about met by now. The spotlight would probably improve this wiki's popularity since the number of active users at this wiki is currently a little low (although we have a nice team of admins) and we would really love a more active wiki. So, it would be awesome if you could accept this request, since this wiki is interesting especially for any hurricane enthusiasts out there. --<font face="Tahoma"> Steve820  | Chat With Me •  My Edits  •  ✉ 05:46, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Doraemon Wiki
Hey there, I'm one of the admins at Doraemon Wiki and would like to request spotlight for the wiki. 11:27, February 10, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello. Doraemon Wiki would need a few tweaks in order to be eligible for a spotlight through this request page. The main page edit protection would need to be lowered to only protect against anonymous editors and new accounts (the move protection is fine).  Also the page itself does not contain many links to the content (although it does have lots of featured items which are good); could you add a portal with images and links to characters, anime, manga, games, etc. to help visitors find your content?  Finally there are a few too many articles in the stub category; there are nearly 200 which is more than 1/5th of your content -- you would need to untag about 15 of them.  Please let me know on my wall if you have any questions or when you have finished this and I can check again!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:59, February 25, 2015 (UTC)
