 * 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! 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
 * The welcome tool is signed by admin
 * The community center's message is customized
 * We have customized skin

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)


 * I tried fixing it..but I need a code and what you specifically MEAN by "white on white", as on Chrome there is no problems, it only has problems on other browsers (which we reccomend people to update anyway). I need a code to put on the templates that makes them regular please. -- TheGreatKuzon! (talk) 00:25, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Tower of God Wiki (approved)
Hello Wikia, I would like to have a spotlight for our Wiki Tower of God, to let us know in the Wikia community.

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.

Thank you for your time and consideration. ~ JoshuaCoalskull  Message Wall 03:15, October 18, 2013 (UTC)

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)

Tom and Jerry Kids Show Wiki (approved)
Hi,

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.

&mdash;Green Zubat (irc/forum: "gz") (owl me!) 04:47, October 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * 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)

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 (approved)
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,

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!

 * Hi. I'm sorry but spotlights cannot be requested on such short timescales. If you are still interested in the spotlight there are a few tweaks the wiki would need to meet the spotlight criteria.  The main page edit protection would need to be dropped to only protect against edits by unregistered/anonymous users.  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted.  And then you have nearly 100 pages marked for deletion; all of those are stub-length at the moment.  Please clean them up and then make sure that no more than about 50 (or 1/5th) of the remaining pages are shorter than 300 bytes.  Please lelt me know on my wall when you have done thsi and i will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:39, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

The Universal Triumvirate Wiki (approved)
Hello, I'm Nathan Maine, the main organizer of the Universal Triumvirate Wiki, and I'd like to apply for a spotlight. The wiki has 337 content pages, very few stubs, few redlinks, and few pages that are uncategorized. The category structure is decent, the main page is laid out very simply and informatively, and has a stable community (which we are eager to grow!).

Let me know if there are any questions about the wiki, as the concept is a little unusual, but I believe a spotlight would really help this community out. Thank you. Nathan Maine (talk) 21:45, June 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The main page looks great, and I can see you have worked hard on the wiki. The wiki would need a few tweaks for a spotlight however.  First you would need to customize the default skin of the wiki (you can use Special:ThemeDesigner), and also add a custom message to the Community Corner.  Finally there are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these things and I'll be happy to check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:02, June 12, 2013 (UTC)


 * Responding here to state that since making the original request we've significantly cut the number of stubs and redlinks, chopped uncategorized pages down about 75% to only around ten, and have implemented a customized theme. I've asked other editors to aide in further cutting down on uncategorized pages, redlinks, and stubs (we're down to only about 20 of all of those combined). I've also added a message for the Community Corner.    18:36, November 19, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for moving the request back into the queue.  The wiki looks great and is almost ready for the spotlight.  However you will need to categorize the last 11 pages first :).

UK Charts Archive Wiki (approved)
I am a beaurocrat on the UK Charts Archive Wiki but we only have 3 active editors. Our wiki is just over a year old with over 3,500 pages, and archives many UK music charts, games and much more. By having our wiki on the spotlight, it will increase the amount of editors we have and would help our wiki grow. Our research suggests that many people are interested in chart archives, but they don't know about our wiki.

United States Counties Wiki (approved)
Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, adminstrator and founder of the United States Counties Wiki. I have chosen the wiki to be on the spotlight because:


 * Main page protection there is set to all users except unregistered and new users.


 * Our wiki has 1,440 pages of which 279 (19.44%) are stub sized. Weeks of work in this area have finally paid off.


 * Our wiki has clear links to the most wanted pages


 * Our wiki does not use offensive language or images, of course


 * The wiki is not in the need of choosing new admins.

Therefore, the wiki would look great on the spotlight. Also, by the way, can you use for our spotlight icon with the top phrase "Countypedia" and the bottom phrase "Do you know your counties?" Thank you. CalzoneManiac (talk) 09:01, December 13, 2013 (UTC)

 * Hello! I am an admin on the RWBYFanon wiki! And I do the majority of outside affairs. We are a large community, with over 1,300 pages.
 * 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, and have been for around 2 months!
 * 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. - We have over 1,300 pages total.
 * 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 has been unlocked for the Wikia Spotlight, it is usually admin only protected.

 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We do have this, and we try to update it monthly.
 * The wiki should have a customized skin. - We are one of the few wikis I know of with a wisible background, we also have complex Css. Though, with the new update, some of our users cannot see the background.
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Porn type images are punishable by ban, and excessive swearing in a character article is frowned upon.

Game Cloud (Approved)
Hi,

I'm the founder of Game Cloud Wiki. Each page of the wiki is a video game. The data a contributor type on a page is read by JavaScript to render a playable game like this:


 * 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 the founder!
 * 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. - We have over 215 pages of content and no stub!
 * 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 features a picture and a video, links to the most important content and links to the help pages. The main page is not sysop-protected.
 * 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). - All the pages would be categorized if it was technically possible. Unfortuneately, we can't have a page with a category and a working JavaScript game on it. To solve the problem, the content of the wiki is sorted on the main page.
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place. - We have 3 admins, so we are set.
 * 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 have that! We also always leave a human message to the newcomers.
 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner) - We do have this too.
 * The wiki should have a customized skin. - We have customized the background and other things in the CSS. All the images have been made by us.
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images. - Porn type images are punishable by ban, and excessive swearing in a character article is frowned upon.

For the spotlights, you can use the two following images: ...with the following text: "Each page is a wikified video game".

I am an administrator from the UnAnything Wiki, a creative/humor wiki about a universe full of video games, internet memes, and pop culture. I believe we fulfill all of the requirements for a spotlight and could definitely use the new users. Thank you! ' Thebiguglyalien ( Yell at me here )' 02:13, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

Sam and Cat Wiki (approved)
I'm an bureaucrat on the Sam and Cat Wiki and I'd like an opportunity to be spotlighted. The show starts back up again on January 4 and there's a big special airing on January 18 so we're trying to time this to coincide with that so the spotlight will have the biggest effect based on my co-bureaucrat's experience with spotlights. I've gone over the best practices point by point with my co-bureaucrat, ArianaGrandeForever and made sure we meet the criteria. She also told me that we need to request an image and a caption, so I'm requesting the use of this image with the caption "Sam and Cat return in January along with some old friends." Thank you. 3cooldog92 (talk) 04:01, December 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Sam and Cat Wiki looks great and I have added it to the approved spotlight list. Unfortunately the spotlight will probably go live at the end of January -- hopefully that is ok!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:17, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Hello Staff, and I am Dragonknight86, an admin at Despicable Me Wiki. We meet all guidelines, except for leaving the main page unlocked, as we have worked very hard on it (And we have some socks evading bans, and continuing to spam). Please add this wiki into the Wikia Spotlight. Thanks :) Dragonknight86 (talk) 20:15, December 27, 2013 (UTC)

Prime Numbers Wiki (approved)
Welcome to Prime Numbers Wiki! In this wiki, we will post all the prime numbers that are in a range of 100. Here, we can even post videos of our own, summarizing the page, e.g. showing the prime numbers on 1-100, the difference between prime and composite numbers, and many more about the topic. Even the Sieve of Eratosthenes will help us show the correct way of showing primes. Come, join now! Making links will be a great way to show the proof of why it is prime; just give a subjective detail of the number, e.g. this number is prime because it is not divisible by 2, then show the answer. Dead-end links will make our wiki a rotten one, so please add some links to those numbers. We can even make a bunch of pages!

Requirements
How many active admins?: 3 (Blueeighthnote, 3primetime3 and Julianthewiki [me]) How many content pages: 234 (33 pages shorter than 300 bytes, making almost 1/7 of it) How many main page pictures: 16 (1 featured user, 2 Sieve of Eratosthenes [actually duplicate, 1 is in main page slider, 1 is in home table], 10 on a slideshow) Is the main page sysop protected? No Is the Special:Uncategorizedpages empty? Yes Are we using the welcome tool? Yes Do we have a customized message on Recent Wiki Activity? Yes, and we use it for monthly speeches for 5 admins. Do we have a customized skin? Yes, and it looks like oasis, but we placed a picture "2, 3, 5" and we have a graphic wordmark, too. Are we using offensive language? No, it is rare in PNW since there not much users there.

Magical Girl (Mahou Shoujo - 魔法少女) Wiki (approved)
Hello! i am the founder of this Magical Girls Wiki. At this moment i have 228 and almost all has enough content. There are customized background, logo, templates, cursors, etc. I am working every day (when i have free time), im creating new pages, adding informations, pictures, etc. But there are infinite tasks to do for every Magical Girl show (writting plots, characters, episode list, movies, merchandise, etc...) and i'm almost alone (there are 2 users helping a little bit), it's because i need the spotlight. I think, with my work and the help of all, this site can be the most complete wiki of the Magical Girl genre. Thanks

I want my wikia [|dccomicsmedia.wikia.com]  to have a spotlight.


 * Hi. DC Comics Media Wiki is in nice shape in general, but it will need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  The biggest one is probably the mainpage, which needs to have some links to the most important content (some sort of portal-type entry to characters, movies, etc.  You may want to check out Marvel Movies Wiki's mainpage for ideas on stuff you might add.)  You would also need to customize the community corner.  Please let me know on my wall when you have done this and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:45, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

 * No short pages. Any short pages are newly created articles (Witch are from Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, ETC...) that are still under construction.
 * Active staff and user community.
 * No offensive language.


 * Hi. I see you already have a spotlight running right now. Perhaps you should ask again once it has gone off?  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:51, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Johnson and Friends Wiki
Hello I am ElsbridgeStationFan1995 and I would like to submit my wiki for the spotlight. The wiki has exactly 200 pages and we have anything about Johnson and Friends here. So could you please consider us for the spotlight? --— Michael  Alive Since 1995!  00:43, January 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Congratulations on reaching 200 pages! Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted the wiki needs to have 200 non-stub pages, which, roughly speaking should be longer than 300bytes.  Right now nearly half of your pages are shorter than this. Please feel free to ask again when you have had a chance to build the wiki content a bit more! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:16, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi. The Gems:A Magical Adventure and Teenage Dreams Wiki looks good, but in order to be spotlighted it needs to have 200 non-stub pages, or pages longer than 300 bytes.

Role Play Wiki (approved)

 * Requester = admin: this is the case - w:c:roleplay:special:listadmins (Yatalu)
 * 200+ articles and less than 1/5 stubs: 190 of 1073 articles are stub
 * Picture + links on unprotected main page: w:c:roleplay:Role Play Wiki - 10 small pictures linking to important categories, unprotected
 * 100% categorized, clear cat structure: we had 40+ uncategorized pages, I brought this down to less than 10, but can't think up categories for these last few. For the rest we have a fair amount of "main categories" linked from Category:Content.
 * No upheavals: the community guidelines have been put up for a vote since a month ago, but there is nothing active going on around them.
 * Welcome tool: user and anon welcome messages have both been customized.
 * Community corner: w:c:roleplay:MediaWiki:Community-corner has been customized as well.
 * Customized skin: I think this one is in order too (:
 * Safe for work: I think so, yes - no appropriate files or language as far as I'm aware.

Looking forward to it! YATTA ヽ( ° ヮ° )ﾉ ☆ |　2014年01月17日、07:40:56

RPOFA Wiki
Hello, I am Emily (admin) at RPOF: http://rpofa.wikia.com | I am here askimg for the opprotunity for our wiki to be spotlighted. We are here to save the United States of America! We, the membership of the Royalist Party of America, commit ourselves to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy for the United States of America. It is our belief that to create a true sense of trust between the governed and the government, our nation's leader must be above the politics of the day, beholden to no special interest group, and free to do what must be done for the good of all Americans, not just the party he or she leads. Emily MolloyEmily Molloy 00:18, January 18, 2014 (UTC).


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted through this request form, wikis must meet our Spotlight request "best practices", including a customized appearance and at least 200 non-stub content pages. It looks like you have just started your wiki, so please ask again when you have had a chance to work on it and build it up a bit more.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:58, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

BlownAway2012 (talk) 16:21, January 23, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello. Carrie Underwood Wiki looks great, however it does not quite meet the spotlight criteria. You have about 50 uncategorized pages.  You also have over 100 stub-length (shorter than 300 byte) pages; that is nearly a third of your content.  For a spotlight you would need to strengthen the content so only 1/5th of it is stub-length -- or about 65 pages right now. Please let me know on my wall when you have had a chance to work on this and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:47, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

 * Hi. Boondocks Wiki looks good. For a spotlight I would need to ask that you take care of a the uncategorized pages on the wiki.  I am curious though, if the series starts in April, do you want the spotlight now? Or closer to when it starts?  Let me know what you think; once the pages are categorized I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved list if you are sure you want the spotlight now.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:52, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
