The Ferry Wiki
Hi there!

I'm Erlopez and I am the only administrator of the Ferry Wiki. As you may be able to tell by the name, the wiki focuses on ferries and there companies. Currently, there are only three active users working on my wiki, including myself, so as you can see, awareness is very sparse. All users, however work really hard in making the wiki a nice, welcoming environment and as a team, we have created an attractive place to edit on. On the main page, there are four permanent 'features', the Welcome note, a slideshow of current projects, a weekly featured article and a weekly featured image. Also all pages to my knowledge are under a category. And that's about it!

 * Hi. Ferry Wiki looks like a lot of fun and congratulations on reaching 200 articles! The only issue I see is that you have nearly half of your content labeled as stubs; could you please clean out this category?  Ideally there would only be about 25 articles in there.  Let me know when you've had a chance to look at this and I'll check again :).  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:59, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

Finished! The article stub count on the Ferry Wiki is now down to barely any articles. User:Erlopez 18:56, September 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry I didn't see your response here last week! I've added the wiki to the list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:44, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hi again! Instead of the spotlight saying 'Learn about ferries from around the world', could it please say 'We'll take you there'? Thanks! Erlopez- Leave me a message! 17:24, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

Supernatural Wiki (approved)
Hello. I'd like to put Supernatural Wiki in the spotlight for about a week around September 23, the day Season 7 premieres. Supernatural Wiki currently has 2 active Administrators and a few other contributors and over 700 pages and 1400 images. However we don't have much traffic around the site, so that's why I'm requesting the spotlight for the Wiki. // Hallichester // 09:33, August 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Supernatural Wiki looks good -- I love your skin! I'll be happy to put it onto the approved spotlight list, but I can't guarantee when it will appear.  My best guess is that if I put it on now it will probably be up around mid-September at the latest; typically after being approved the spotlights go up in 2-4 weeks and run for 2 weeks. I'm guessing that for your purposes, missing by being later is better than being too early.  I can either put it on now, or you can remind me on my talk page in a couple of weeks and I can put it on the list then. Let me know what you want to do!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:11, August 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's on the list and should be up in a week or two. -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:02, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Bakugan Users Wiki
I am the Head Bureaucrat of Bakugan Users Wiki requesting a Spotlight. We have articles in the 800's which is being added to every week, sometimes days. We don't have many users, so it would be helpful if you could get us some more through a spotlight. Thank You!

- Lord of Pyrus


 * Hi. Bakugan Users Wiki is clearly growing quickly -- congratulations on reaching 1000 pages.  However, the wiki would need some tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  You would need to drop the main page protection to only protect against anonymous/new user edits.  You also have some uncategorized pages that would need to be sorted out.  More critically, about half of your content (more than 500 pages) is stub-length (less than 300 bytes), and you would need no more than 200 pages at that length.  Please ask again when you have had a chance to strengthen your content and can meet all of the spotlight criteria.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:47, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Sonic the Hedgehog The Movie Wiki
It's new. It needs some attention! Sonicyay2 15:53, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

=/ Sonicyay2 16:17, August 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry but Wiki's spotlighted through this page must meet all of the spotlight criteria, including 200 content pages. Good luck with your wiki and feel free to ask again when it has had a chance to grow bigger! -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:57, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Club Penguin Wiki
I would like to request a Spotlight for the Club Penguin Wiki. I am an active admin there. It has 3,529 pages on it. Though many of our top contributors have left, we are still making this wiki the best that we can. We often update the Community Corner with news and other related items.

-- THE RULER AND DICTATOR OF AWESOME HAS ARRIVED SPEAK TO LORD VOLDEMORT... 22:09, August 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Club Penguin Wiki is in pretty good shape. It looks like you have a handful of uncategorized pages; can you please sort them out? Let me know when you've done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy  (talk ) 20:16, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

John Carter (Again) (approved)
I am once again reqesting that the John Carter wiki (Johncarter.wikia.com/Barsoom.wikia.com/Warlordofmars.wikia.com) Get a spotlight. Most of the pages are pretty big, we have barely any under 200 bytes, and most arent under 300 bytes. . . . The wikis content is going to become increasingly relevent in the media ,posters for the movie are in theaters and so are trailers, and by december of this year there will be five seperate comic books series concerning the universe on shelves (two by marvel three by dynamite). And I really want to get the message ot there that john carter is not just recycled hollywood trash, it is the source of all the material that has been recycled!!!!!!!!! If I got to choose spotlight times. . .. I wold choose for this wiki to be spotlighted in october or september (whenever the first marvel series is released) and when the movie is released next year in march. ralok 01:59, August 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Good job working on the content; the wiki looks like it is in good shape now and I can add it too the approved spotlight list. If approve it now it will probably be spotlighted in mid-September. If you want it spotlighted later then you will need to remind me in a few weeks to add it to the list.  Either way, let me know what you want to do on my talk page.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:01, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, I shall endeavour to make the wiki even better before it is spotlighted. ralok 01:31, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

If you read this. . . I think I would like that the spotlight would read "who is John Carter?" and the image to be taken from the john carter trailer, it should be reffered to as the John Carter wiki aswellralok 03:01, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I can pass along an image if you have one; otherwise they will take it from somewhere on your wiki if possible. I cannot pass along the text of the spotlight.  Do you want to be put on the list now or later?  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:14, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

I think I would prefer it to be on the spotlight list now rather than later. That is a real bummer you cant pass along the text. I cant find a picture I would want from the trailer so whatever pictures is decided will be okay with me ralok 17:35, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. I have added it to the list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:21, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

WikiSein (approved)
Hello. I am here to request a spotlight for WikiSein, the Seinfeld Wiki. The Wiki meets all criteria, but definitely needs more users. Plus, I was happy with the last spotlight that brought in many new users. The Wiki has nearly 250 pages, and I have spent time adding to stubs, and categorizing pages. Thanks.

P.S. The Main Page was protected from IPs contributors before my time there, due to a past history of vandalism. <font face="Comic Sans MS"> DaRanger  | <font face="Friz Quadrata"> Talk to Me  | <font face="Friz Quadrata">  What I've Done  | 14:12,8/6/2011

America's Got Talent Wiki (approved)
Hi, I would like to request a spotlight for America's Got Talent Wiki. We have over 200 articles, and very few of them are stubs. It's a new wiki (only about a month old), but it's grown very quickly. It's very relevant right now because of the popularity of America's Got Talent. More than 90% of the articles are heavily categorized and very few are stubs. It meets most of the requirements, and I'm hoping a spotlight would increase its activity.

If this gets approved, this would be the description:

"America... land of the free, and home of the best talent in the world!"

Thanks, Erik10101 02:08, August 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. America's Got Talent Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape.  There are a handful of uncategorized pages; could you sort those out? Also, the main page could use a little bit of sprucing up, and would need at the least a picture added to it to meet the spotlight criteria.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues, and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:39, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for cleaning those up. I've added you to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:47, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh. and I'm sorry but I cannot pass along requests for the spotlight wording. I forgot to mention that. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:15, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

39 Clues Wiki (approved)
Hi,

Hi my name is Nilem12. I am a Administrator on 39 Clues Wiki. Since The Medusa Plot is coming out in less than 21 days can you Spotlight this wiki.

Thanks,

 * Hi. The 39 Clues Wiki is still in great shape and I'll be happy to add it back to the approved spotlight list for a 2nd spotlight. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:49, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Redapedia (approved)
Hello there,

I am Zachattack31. I am an administrator on the Redapedia wikia. I was hoping that you could make this wikia into a Spotlight. It is a wikia dedicated to the Redakai card game as well as the animated series Redakai: Conquer the Kairu. It has around 250 pages, so it is small but still relatively new. At first, we had quite a few editors but over time, these editors left and I am currently the only editor/admin who has been doing anything on there the past couple of months. I would really like the Spotlight in order to get more people interested in the wikia and to increase the popularity of the animated series as well as the game. I would really appreciate it.

P.S. This is my first time asking for a spotlight so I hope this is okay. Thanks.Zachattack31 03:28, August 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Redapedia 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 ) 02:12, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Onipex and Pals Wiki
The Misadventures of Onipex and Pals is a series created by Ids5621 (A YouTuber) and is based on the video hosting site; YouTube. It was initially created as a comedic side series to All Stars (Another YouTube series), to be released more frequently and to keep input coming into the channel. It revolves around the matoran (characters), Onipex and his annoying friend Jevik.

 * Hi. Onipex and Pals Wiki looks like a lot of fun; you've clearly worked hard on it.  However in order to be spotlighted here, it would need to meet our spotlight criteria, including at least 200 content pages.  Good luck building the wiki! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:53, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Avatar & Legend of Korra Wiki
Hi! I am Annawantimes, the leader of Avatar & Legend of Korra Wiki. I know you must be very busy, but I would like you to review my wiki and see if it is ready to be featured on the Spotlight. I would like the picture to the right to be shown, with the text in the caption to be featured as well. (The bold text should be the spotlight's title) If my wiki meets criteria, please let me know. Thank you for your time, AnnawantimesTalk 04:04, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * Once again, you need to have no uncategorised pages in order to get a spotlight. You need to categorise all of the pages found here. And you need to reduce the number of pages with no content, these can be found here and at the start of the list here.--Acer4666 13:48, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I added content and categorized the pages the other day. I don't understand why the page listing all of this has not updated itself. Hopefully it will soon. Thank for your concern though. AnnawantimesTalk 19:07, August 14, 2011 (UTC)

I Still wish to receive an official response, please. AnnawantimesTalk 19:45, August 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry again about missing your original request.  Your wiki will still need a few further tweaks to be spotlighted.  The main page protection would need to be dropped to protect only against anonymous users and new accounts.  Also you have about 80 pages "Awaiting Content", and 7 or so more that are stubs (either short or marked as stubs).  I actually believe that you would be better to remove those 80 pages altogether than to have somebody click on them only to see that template, which does not even encourage the reader to add the content as a stub template does, but I will count them as stubs.  However the wiki has 350 pages, so the total number of stubs should be 70 or less.  So please work on filling in some of this content.  Let me know on my talk page when you have had a chance to do this.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:48, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Warrior Cats Roleplay Wiki (approved)
Hi, I'm 4pinkbear, a bereaucrat of Warrior Cats Roleplay Wiki.

I believe my wiki deserves a little spotlight because it isn't the most popular wiki, unfortunately.

And if I may make a request, can the image be:

Nerf Wiki
Hello Central Wiki, this is Cpt. Riley. I am an admin representing the Nerf Wiki. Me and my fellow editors have been working really hard these past months to get the wiki up-to-shape. I am requesting a spotlight, mostly so my editors feel accomplished, and that we can attract other editors. This would mean a lot if you concidered us. Best regards, Cpt. Riley. Cpt. RileyLet's Talk 19:29, August 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Nerf Wiki looks great -- congratulations on reaching 500 articles!  It looks like you  have nearly 300 pages marked as stubs (over half of your content).  Could you please clean this out so there are 100 stubs or less?  You also have one or two uncategorized pages in there :).  Let me know on my talk page when you have had a chance to do this and I will be happy to look again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:47, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

The Lion King Wikia (approved)
Hi, I'm Honeyfur, a bureaucrat on The Lion King Wikia. In less than a month, The Lion King will be released to theaters in 3D Diamond Edition. I feel that this is the perfect time to try out for the spotlight. We have an active front page, over 400 articles, a very personalized theme, and tons of pictures on most every article. Here's a link. -- Honeyfur Hakuna Matata 03:11, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Gearspedia the Gears of War wikia. (approved)
Since Gears of War 3 the last Gears of War game of the Delta story arc is coming out in September 20th


 * I’d JacktheBlack am the head Admin of Gearspedia (And been editing for 2008)
 * We have over 1400 plus pages (We are still adding pages from the newest Gears of War book Coalition’s End, New York times best seller btw ;) ).
 * Our category system is based off Wookeeipedia and Halopedia so I’m satisfied with it. But I hope I can make more subcategories.
 * We have a custom skin.
 * Stable leadership.
 * A lot of pages are in locked dock to stop Users from spoiling the ending of Gears of War 3 (it was leaked onto youtube and people spoiled it for one of our Admins already  )
 * Please and thank you for your time.

--JacktheBlack 21:04, August 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Gearspedia looks like it is in good shape. Could you please lower the main page protection to only block anonymous users and new accounts?

Star Wars Games Wiki
Hello, I'm an admin on the Star Wars Games Wiki. Currently, the Wiki only has a few editing users, and we would like some more people to contribute. I think that it has all of the criteria needed for Wikia Spotlight. Thanks! -  Sam2011  ( Delta Squad Forming Up ) 12:01, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * A quick flick through your wiki shows it doesn't meet several criteria - you have uncategorised pages, 697 of your pages are less than 300 bytes (meaning more than 1/5 of your content pages are stubs),and your main page is protected against any editing. PS this isn't the official response, I just don't see how hard it is to check you meet the criteria before posting here--Acer4666 12:14, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Star Wars Games Wiki looks like it has a great amount of content, but Acer is correct that it doesn't quite meet the spotlight criteria.  The main page protection would need to be dropped to only protect against anonymous users and new accounts.  The Community Corner needs to be customized.  The automatic welcome tool would need to be re-enabled (Mediawiki:Welcome-user should read @sysop or @latest).  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted.  You have about 400 pages marked as stubs, and 700 stub-length pages; while there is some overlap the combined number would need to be about 530, or 1/5th of your content.  Please ask again when you have had a chance to strengthen the wiki content and can meet all of the spotlight criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:00, August 24, 2011 (UTC)

The Dark Tower Wiki (approved)
I would like to request a spotlight for The Dark Tower Wiki. We are a growing wiki, but we could use a few more editors. There is renewed interest in the Dark Tower series because of the recent movie rumors. I believe we fulfill all the requirements for a spotlight. Thanks for your consideration. --Rolliemoon "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" -T.S. Eliot 20:34, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

LifeMusic Wiki
I'm the founder and an admin at LifeMusic Wiki, a wiki on all types of Christian music. We cover everything, from gospel to metal to rap to hip hop. Many of our song articles are categorized as stubs, but they surpass the requirements in the best practices. The only reason they are categorized as stubs is because the only have the lyrics in the article, and our site requires much more to bring an article up from stub status. Anyway, we are the largest Christian music wiki on the web, and I believe a spotlight would boost activity and allow us to grow into a larger, better community. Master Fredcerique 21:57, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. I misread the short pages list. :P I'm going through and deleting the hundreds of excess stubs though. Hopefully I'll be done in a week or two. I'll reply here when I'm done. Is that OK? MasterFred 18:02, August 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's fine and I appreciate you letting me know :). Why don't you go ahead and make a new request when you are ready; it is easier for me to keep track of it that way.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:23, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Nerf Blaster Wiki
Hi, I represent the workers at Nerf Blaster Wiki, a hard working Nerf database. We have 875+ articles, however will be removing several soon. We work very close with Nerf Wiki, however we have articles on different things than them but cover the same topic. As the 14th biggest toy wiki, we have 16 articles with over 5000 bytes, and 124 under 500, which is quite a few. Even though we have many stubs, we are a dedicated community, and one that has the potential to reach 1000 articles. With spotlight more users may come to our site, which only has 4 active users as of now. Thanks again, GG 360 00:04, August 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi. Nerf Blaster Wiki is generally in pretty good shape, but needs a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria. Your front page is a little bland -- could you please spruce it up and add some images?  You also need to customize your community corner and clean up a few uncategorized pages.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:34, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

SpongeBob Fanon Wiki
I would like to request a Spotlight for SpongeBob Fanon Wiki, located at http://spongefan.wikia.com. We have set our material to what your guidelines require; we have removed all vandalism, we have 3,000+ articles, and we don't have any content that could be considered offensive. Ponyo Fan 23:48, August 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. SpongeBob Fanon Wiki has an impressive amount of content. It looks like it would need some general cleanup to meet the spotlight criteria however.  Right now you have more than 1000 uncategorized pages; all of your pages would need to be categorized.  Also, more than 1/5th of your content (about 725 articles) is stub-length, or shorter than 300bytes.  Please work on categorizing the pages and strengthening or cleaning out the short articles.  Let me know on my talk page or put in a new request when you are ready for me to check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:06, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Roller Coaster Wiki (approved)
I'd like to request a spotlight for Roller Coaster Wiki. It follows all the "best practices" and now has improved infoboxes.

Uncharted wiki (approved)
Hello. I'd like to request a spotlight for the Uncharted Wiki. I know that sometimes these requests can take a bit of time if we don't meet the criteria, so I'm putting this one in early. Ideally, the spotlight would be up at the beginning of November, so if we get approved now hopefully I could leave you a message closer to that time so we can get the spotlight then?

As far as I can see, the wiki meets all of the criteria, except for this:

"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.)"

Although our MediaWiki:Welcome-user says "@sysop," this isn't what shows up on welcome messages. We use a custom welcome message, which is signed by all active administrators. You can see it here. Can you let me know if this will affect the request.

Apart from this, I think we meet all of the criteria. We currently have 70 pages which are under 300Kb, although most of them are disambiguation pages. Let me know if there's any problems with the request. Thanks for reading! --Klock101 02:29, September 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Uncharted Wiki looks really sharp and congratulations on reaching 1000 articles!  The point of the welcome setting is to make sure the welcomes are being generated automatically; the actual welcome can be customized (and signed) as you wish.  So what you have is fine.  Spotlights usually go up in about 2 weeks (4 at most) after I approve them.  So yes, please make sure the wiki still meets the criteria (uncategorized pages are what are most likely to creep in ) and remind me on my talk page in mid-October.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:28, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Shake It Up Wiki
I would like to request spotlight for the Shake It Up Wiki. Shake It Up is a Disney Channel series about two best friends as they star as background dancers on a local show. I'm an admin on the wiki and it is very developed and colorful. We would love for it to be advertised to attract more fans. 20:01, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * (unofficial response) Just to let you know that wikis need to have 200 pages or more to get spotlighted, try to build up the content before you get a proper staff response to this request!--Acer4666 11:18, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. As Acer said, you need to have 200 non-stub (roughly longer than 300bytes and not marked as stubs) articles in order to meet our spotlight criteria for requests on this page.  Please feel free to ask again when you have a few more articles!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:31, September 9, 2011 (UTC)

Clone Wars Wiki (approved)
Hi! I am here to request the Spotlight for Clone Wars Wiki, I am not an admin, soon to be, but I do have the link saying "Yes". We are a little unorganized, But that should be fixed in the next couple of days. If we do, this is the suggested picture:



Season 4 is coming up, and we thought it would be a good time to do a Spotlight. Here are some links:


 * 1 - The approval


 * [w:c:clonewar|2] - Overall

I hope this is good!


 * Just a quick piece of advice before the staff get to this request: you might want to categorise your uncategorised pages (one of the spotlight criteria)--Acer4666 11:16, September 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Thanks for linking to the approval conversation. As Acer says, you have about 40 uncategorized pages.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of them and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:48, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your wiki is on the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:12, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Wild Ones Wiki (approved)
I'm the bureaucrat of this wiki and I want to request for my wiki to go for spotlight. The link is here. We have reached to 450 pages but the main problem is vandalism. Everything is quite informative and quite sophisticated. Please add our wiki to spotlight so that more people can go to our wiki.

09:40, September 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Wild Ones Wiki looks like it is in generally good shape. Would you please drop the edit protection on the main page to only block new and unregistered users? That setting would have blocked the vandalism last spring as the account which did the vandalizing was only a day old.  You also have a few uncategorized pages; could you please sort them out?  Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of those 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 ) 03:01, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking care of that. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:30, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

LifeMusic Wiki
OK, I believe I've deleted enough stubs. Whew, it was over 1,000 articles! :P But I think the wiki is finally ready. MasterFred 17:59, September 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wow -- that's an amazing amount of work! I hate to say it, but there's one other place the stubs need cleanup.  While your short pages list looks ok, you still have nearly 600 pages marked as stubs, and many of them are longer than the 300bytes criteria for stub-length articles.  Could you please go through and clean out that category?  Either deleting the true stubs and/or removing the tags from longer articles that are in there will work.  Clicking around I see a fair number that have at least some lyrics.  But I also see some that simply have a big empty page layout with no content filled in; they are longer than 300bytes but definitely stubs.  The goal is for the pages < 300 bytes and pages marked as stubs combined to be less than 1/5th of the total content.  Let me know when you've had a chance to do some more housekeeping; the rest of the wiki looks great. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:48, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

The Sims Medieval Wiki (approved)
Hi! Im a administrator at the Sims Medieval wiki, and we requested wiki spotlight awhile ago and it was on "hold". We categorized our pages better, and would like to request the spotlight one again.

If we need to do anything else, please let me know and I will be sure to get it done.

Thanks,

TTTE Wiki (approved)
I don't know if it is to early to request another spotlight, but TTTE Wiki would like another spotlight, using the image on the right, linking to this page: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/Thomas_and_His_Friends. Could the the title say: Thomas Wiki: Get the new book!. Again, sorry if this is too early. BTW here is the admins permission for me to request this: http://ttte.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Thomasfan Thank You, Toby7 Ding!Ding! 03:15, September 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. A second spotlight is fine. I've added the wiki to the approved list. I will pass along the image as well, but I cannot guarantee it will be used. Unfortunately right now there is no way to request the title or the link page. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:30, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

ALF Wiki (approved)
Hello,

My name is Sam Stokes and I am the administrator of the ALF Wiki. I have worked very hard this year to build the site by adding hundreds of pages of content and hundreds of images. I have also diligently categorized the content and created useful navigation links on the front page and throughout the Wiki.

I am very excited that on September 22, 2011, ALF will be celebrating its 25th Anniversary. For this event, the administrators of two of the biggest ALF fan sites and I have been working on a very special surprise, which includes an exclusive interview with Paul Fusco, the creator and voice of ALF.

I know that it is a little bit late to request a spotlight for September 22, but even if it is spotlighted after that time, we will have the interview posted for people to read by then. We would like to draw as much attention to it as we can, as Paul Fusco has some very special news to share with his fans.

Thanks!

samstokes80 19:50, September 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, this isn't a staff response but thought I'd give you a heads up that articles are considered "stubs" if they're less than 300 bytes. On the ALF wiki here, you can see that around 400 of your pages are this size, so that means about half your content is stub-size. One of the spotlight criteria is that no more than 1/5 of your pages are this size. Hope you can build up the content!--Acer4666 21:27, September 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up. In looking over the responses to some of the other Wikis that weren't approved I noticed that 300 bytes or less was considered a stub.  Before, I thought that a stub was merely when the stub tag was present on a page.  I consequently looked at the list of short pages with my Admin tools and I am in the process of improving the content by adding additional relevant information and cross references where appropriate in order to reduce the number of stubs to below the 1/5 requirement. - samstokes80 23:13, September 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok! I've gone through the wiki and filled in missing information, and added cross-references to a number of articles, so that now less than 1/5 of the articles are below 300 bytes.  It is now ready to be viewed by Wikia staff.  Thank you!  samstokes80 15:47, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey Sam. Thanks for getting the wiki into shape.  The spotlight for your wiki went live earlier today.  :) -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:53, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

The Wheel of Time Wiki (approved)
Hello. Our wiki has done a lot since our last request in July of 2010. Here is a rundown of what has happened.

The main page has been given a makeover. It now includes a slider and two slideshows. The slider showcases the three main characters, the main concept of our series, the largest city in the series, and the latest book. Our first slideshow presents our thirteen main-series books and the second shows all of the main characters. We also have a "Quote of the Day" and a "On this day..." section that changes automatically.

I've go through and built up all of our sub-stubs and clean up some of our stubs as well. Out of 4,945 pages, 892 are stubs. This is a little over 18%. If, perchance, you look at the ShortPages listing, most of them (aside from the chapter pages) will have a template that lets readers and editors know that all that can be found has been.

More users that love The Wheel of Time are always welcome.

Thanks in advance for your consideration and any feedback. 03:22, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Edit - The count of stubs is taken from this category and the subcategories. 03:23, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Wheel of Time Wiki looks great.  I love all the pictures on your main page!  Thanks for taking the time to make sure you met all of the criteria, including the stub count :).  I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:52, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Roswell Wiki
roswell.wikia.com

could you please add the wiki to the spotlight list. we haven't got any frequent users and it's taking forever to get it into shape by myself.

PrueForever (talk) 15:50, September 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * You have two Uncategorized |Uncategorized Pages. You may need to add those to categories, because that is needed to be able for spotlights.


 * Also, you have too many short pages. Check out here, and you'll see that 120 of your 215 pages are below 300kb. You need to reduce the number of short pages to 15 in order to qualify, or if you create more longer pages the count needs to be below 1/5 of the total pages.--Acer4666 14:49, September 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Roswell wiki looks great; the main page is really well done! As Acer said, the criteria for spotlight requests through this page is to have 200 non-stub pages; so you would need 15 or less stubs, or pages under about 300 bytes.  Please ask again when you have had a chance to strengthen the content on your wiki! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:04, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Custom Hero Factory Wiki (approved)
I would like to request a spotlight for Custom Hero Factory Wiki. We are a community of Lego builders who create amazing Hero Factory characters and even write stories about them! All our pages are categorized, and we have 529 articles, with only 49 or so falling under 300KB. All of the other requirements seem to be met as well. If we could get this, it would mean a lot!

Done. King Joe CHFW B'crat, Say somethin to me! 19:11, September 21, 2011 (UTC)

Imaginaughts wiki
Hiyas, I'm Golden flame zero, the admin of IW. ATM, there are only a handfull of users on the wiki (Me, u3berleech, Pandaboy2 and Mocha2007andcocoa {Who currently has to stop editing due to bugs in the new editor}), and it would be nice to have a few more users on it. The idea of IW is that you can create something, post it onto the wiki, and create even more stuff to pile on top of the charecter you created in the first place. it is set in a relm called the imagaworld, parralel to ours, which all imaginary creations exist.

Can I please get it spotlighted, (or at least a bit more popular)? Thanks! Golden Flame Zero 05:32, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * You need 200 non-stub pages - currently 100 of your 205 pages are below 300kb, see here. You need to expand those to more than 300kb. You also need to categorise these pages. --Acer4666 06:16, September 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Imaginaughts looks like a fun wiki. However, as Acer said, the criteria for spotlight requests through this page is to have 200 non-stub pages; so you would need 11 or less stubs, or pages under about 300 bytes.

Songpedia (approved)
Songpedia is a wiki all about music with more than 900 articles, it is stable (it is not in the middle of choosing new admins, nor is it in the middle of a merge), it has no stubs (or if you try to check Special:ShortPages, the ones we consider "true" stubs are just 1 - 9). The wiki has a welcome message, that is automatic, and it has a neat custom skin. The wiki has a policy regarding swearing, which allows swearing, but prevents abuse of it, also, we do not allow porn or any other inappropriate images on Songpedia (not even one), the only exception are album covers, and these are rare. I'm Nobody Cares, the most active admin and editor on Songpedia. Oh regarding the art work for the spotlight, I'll be making one, but if I fail to do so, then I might have to rely on you guys for the art work. Thanks! -- 03:52, September 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hi! We here at the Avatar wiki have been working very hard for a long time, and would like to request a wiki spotlight.

And 0 uncategorized pages.

Along with a very stable administration, and barely any fights. We are sure that we would make a good wiki for the upcoming spotlight :)

Hi there i'm the admin for the recently created Paranormal Activity Wiki :)

The third instalment of this overly popular film series is hitting cinemas on the 20th of October and i believe it should have an advertisement like so many other great wikis :)

Here's the link for the wikia:

http://paranormalacti.wikia.com/wiki/Paranormal_Activity_Wiki

I Have to begin construction on it's many articles but have already inserted a nice logo.

I have requested a theme at Logo Creation which i'm sure when user Fandyllic get's around to it will look great.

Here's the image that i would like to be with the advertisement text: "The Activity Continues October 20th"

Hi. This isn't a official response, but I thought I'd let you know that for a wiki to have the spotlight, it must meet the correct |criteria criteria ( see previous link ) Keep working on your wiki! And don't forget to add categories, work on the background, add new pages, and get a less amount of stubs!

Cheers

 * Hi. I'm sorry but I cannot approve a wiki 3 months in advance, and as you have just had two requested spotlights it is too soon to have a third in October. Generally speaking we ask wikis to wait at least 6 months to request another spotlight after the first two because the goal is to highlight many different communities around Wikia.    -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:49, September 25, 2011 (UTC)

Hiya, you may remember that we requested for a spotlight back in June for the release of The Sims 3: Pets. Given that LostInRiverview has officially retired from the wiki, I thought that I should give it a shot at sending in the second request. The Sims 3: Pets will be released in North America on October 18th, so if possible we would like our spotlight to be around about that time. Thank you very much for considering us!

SporeWiki (approved)
Hello! I'm Um2k9 and I'm a sysop on SporeWiki. SporeWiki was founded in January 2006 and currently has 1,257 pages dedicated to the Spore franchise, which are well written and categorized, and a huge amount more (There are 113,222 pages in total, including talkpages, etc) dedicated to Spore fan fiction, including the popular Fiction Universe. The wiki also contains 25,332 images, making it visually appealing for new users.

While the wiki still remains very much active by a small community, it has been lagging in activity over the past year, and I really think it deserves a spotlight in order to attract new contributors to the Wiki and to congratulate the efforts of the users that edit there.

Please consider this request.

Thank you,

|Awesome Anime and Manga Wiki (approved)
Hey! :D

I'd like my wiki to be spotlighted on the Wiki Spotlight. My wiki has over 200 pages and I am looking for new editors. If you need a picture I've got 4 that you may want to use.

If you only need one than use The Sengoku Basara one. Thanks! :D  Lily the Girl  who Loves Anime &amp; Manga  22:57, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. Awesome Anime and Manga Wiki looks really good -- congratulations on reaching 200 articles.  In order to be spotlighted it would need to have the protection level on the main page dropped to only protect against editing by anonymous users and new accounts.  There are a small handful of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted.  Finally you would need to have 200 non-stub content pages; if you look at Special:ShortPages there should be no more than 12 pages shorter than 300bytes.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues and I will check again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:12, October 19, 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.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">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.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:09, October 20, 2011 (UTC)

League of Legends Wiki
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.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:19, 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
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)

Jurassic Park Wiki
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.

 * 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)

 * Hi. Wiki of Stuff looks like it is a lot of fun and a great place to goof around.

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.

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)

Sonic News Network
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?

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.

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)

Ben 10 Fan Fiction
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.

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

Gran Turismo Wiki
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)
