Forum:Turning off annoying wikia spotlights

Can you remove Wikia spotlights? They are really annoying. Mint Brick


 * No, not really. They are an essential feature on Wikia to help promote communities. What's annoying about them? Wjxhuang,  the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 22:46, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, they are removable. But removing them is against policy, such as removing the ads. Fingernails 07:36, December 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * I prefer Spotlights to others ads. — TulipVorlax 01:29, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Yes, me too. If only they were changed a little more frequently... I mean, it seems like I've been seeing Twilight and Pixar since I signed up. Fingernails 01:55, December 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * It even worst in french since there isn't a lot of french wikis worthy of spotlights. — TulipVorlax 01:23, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

They do change frequently. Certain wikis just remain spotlighted, such as the Twilight wiki, as that's a big draw right now. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:44, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Frequently... as in weekly. Or at least spotlight a bunch of them at a time Fingernails 04:58, December 21, 2009 (UTC)

Ok. BTW I'M SICK OF TWILIGHT ADDS! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! >=-| Pardon the explosion........ :-P Mint Brick


 * As Brandon says, spotlights are indeed changed frequently - and we have a range in circulation at a time. However, with something like Twilight, there has been continued interest for some time now. When interest does die down, it will go away again - i.e. when there isn't a new book or film out. 16:36, December 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * OOOh! That Twillight ! The one with vampires and lycans. Now i understand why and i agree that's it kind of "normal". — TulipVorlax 03:31, December 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * It seems like all I see is Bleach, Twilight, Avatar and Lost. Also, what do the dates in the "Upcoming spotlights" box on Wikia talk:Spotlights mean and when will they be featured? Fingernails 05:21, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
