The Super Gaming Wiki
Hi I am Niktext the fouder of the Super Gaming Wiki! I belive I have met the spotlight criteria and my place is stable and friendly!

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

Simpsons Wiki (approved)
Howdy, I am Jhonevans, one of the admins for the wikia. We're are a fairly expansive wiki, however, at the moment we are devoid of much activity due to a recent admin migration. We're doing the best we can to keep up with competitors, but we are lacking the man power to do so. We would like a spotlight to get our wikia rolling again. Jhonevan&#39;s signature. 12:30, December 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I apologize for the delay in answering your spotlight request.  Simpsons Wiki is in good shape, except that you have about 120 uncategorized pages.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of them and I'll be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:04, January 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Added to the list! -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:09, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Pokemon Tower Defense (PTD) (approved)
This is Spacho, an Admin over there. PTD is a very popular game and we do get a lot of views (162k this week) but mostly by lurkers. I feel that we should be in the spotlight because there's not much users to support us, 90% are Wikia contributors =(

Our Wiki is perfect :P 640 pages, no bad images, custom skin, giveaways. etc                                                     So for our sake, our Wiki needs some light! Give us some!  Spacho  Giveaway  Trading Center    Play PTD


 * Hey Spacho, just to let you know before the staff get to this request, you may want to categorise all your pages (ie these ones) just so you meet all the criteria. Otherwise it looks good-- Category:Acer4666 18:19, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

I modified all of the uncategorized pages. All we need is to wait for the cache to be updated. Is that ok? -Spacho


 * Hi. I apologize for the delay in answering your request. Pokemon Tower Defense looks great and I have added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:11, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

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


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

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

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

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

Thank you for your time.

Rune Factory Wiki (approved)
Hi! I'm the founder of the Rune Factory wiki and I haven't had anyone add information to wiki besides me, so I've been looking for contributors. JoePlay recomemended I come her after I get to 200 pages because its supposed to help get contributers, so yeah :D Mai Is Me 06:00, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know, (this isn't the official response though), but when the criteria says "200 non-stub pages", they generally class anything under 300 bytes to be a stub. You can see here how big all your pages are, and at the minute you have 54 stub pages and 163 non-stub pages.-- Category:Acer4666 13:40, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

I fixed it, now I have 215 pages and 13 stub pages. --Mai Is Me 04:15, January 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I apologize for the delay in answering your request. Rune Factory Wiki looks really nice.  The front page has great navigation, but could you please add at least one image?  Also, you would need to customize your Community Corner.  Please let me know when you have made the changes and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:33, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Frank Sinatra Wiki (approved)
Hi, I would like to request a spotlight for the Frank Sinatra Wiki. Over the course of the past couple of months, the wiki has grown very much so, and I thought it was time to request the spotlight. The wiki should have everything that's laid out in the Best Practices section on the project page. We've over 700 articles (Only 50 of which are stubs), customized Oasis and Monobook, and has a firm and strong category structure. Thanks for your time and consideration. &mdash; Wattz  2000  19:30, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thomas Wooden railway Wiki
Thomas Wooden Railway wiki is a great little wiki that consists of 519 page. I am personally representing it and asking for approval for a spotlight. The wiki contains info on Thomas Wooden Railway a line of merchandise for the show Thomas and Friends. Mr.Conductor 03:38, January 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I apologize for the delay in answering your request. The Thomas Wooden Railway Wiki is in generally good shape.  In order to be spotlighted it would need to have the main page protection dropped to only protect against anonymous/new users.  There are also a small handful of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Also, as you are not an admin on the site, I would need to see where the request was approved by the admins here.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have talked to the admins (and give me a link to the discussion, or have one of them message me) and taken care of the other details!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:52, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

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

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

Steps Are Here

The Wiki Has:

The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.

The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks!

I'm the only user there, seeing as the original founder of the wiki disabled her account and I would love to get a spotlight so the wiki could get off the ground a bit more. It needs a lot of work that one user can't do solo. Thank you! -- Love and Lust 02:32, February 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. April Showers Wiki looks good and I'm glad you are excited about taking it over!  However in order to be spotlighted through this page, a wiki must meet all of the Spotlight Criteria, including 200 non-stub pages.  Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has had more time to grow!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:01, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

 * Hi. The wiki looks good. However you had two spotlights at the end of last year. We generally ask wikis to wait before being spotlighted a 3rd time, because we want to highlight a range of different wikis. Roughly speaking it should be about 2 spotlights per year, so feel free to ask again next fall!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:16, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

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

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

Alien Anthology Wiki (approved)
Hi, this is Dino crisis fan and I would like to add the Alien Anthology Wiki to be in the Wikia Spotlight in hopes of attracting fellow wikia contributors as well as to promote Ridley Scott's upcoming Prometheus and the new video game Aliens: Colonial Marines, thank you.

Hello, I am Fargo84, a bureaucrat on the WWII Wiki. JAF1999 was blocked forever, but we would still love a spotlight, we've been needing a few extra editors and this would be perfect.

Dawn of War Wiki
Hello, any chance of a spotlight for Dawn of War Wiki? It's not that shabby IMO, and at the moment it's the only complete & up-to-date database on the Whole Internets for DoW2:R multiplayer stuff. Admittedly, coverage for the older titles or single-player is not as good but more editors might help with that. --Unknown Primarch 11:38, February 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Dawn of War Wiki is in good shape for the most part.  Would you please customize the community corner?  Also you have some uncategorized pages.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:51, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Young Justice Wiki (approved)
I'd like to request a spotlight for the Young Justice Wiki, as the show returns from hiatus on March 3rd, and we collectively feel that this is the right time for our second spotlight. Young Justice Wiki satisfies all requirements;


 * I am an administrator, and in any case, the community has consented.
 * we currently have 655 articles, 2 of which are stubs.
 * our main page is updated semi-regularly and holds 18 images.
 * every article is categorized, with the exception of 1 subpage.
 * the wiki is stable, with 3 administrators, as well as 3 rollback users.
 * we have been using the Wikia welcome tool, but as of the change to Message Wall, I am unsure about the changes made.
 * our Community Corner is updated frequently.
 * we have a customized background and skin.
 * and all offensive language or inappropriate images are moved immediately by administrators.

If possible, we would be grateful if the spotlight could be made for around the beginning of March for the March 3rd return of Young Justice with the nineteenth episode, "Misplaced", and we would like the spotlight to reflect the airing, whether before, or after the specified date. Thanks very much, 21:47, February 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Young Justice Wiki looks great, but you do have the welcome tool turned off. Please turn it back on (let me know if you need help with customizing the wall messages) and I'll be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:08, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Halo Fanon
Hi, I'm a bureaucrat at Halo Fanon. Our wiki was created in January 2007 and we currently have over 17,000 articles. Despite this, the site isn't as active as it should be due to many of the senior users losing interest and leaving, and not enough newer users to take their place. We have a very professional policy to keep writings and images tasteful, and activity ranging from every few minutes to as little as too every few hours. 18:41, February 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Halo Fanon looks great with the custom skin.  It does have a lot of uncategorized pages however.  Could you work on getting those sorted out?  Let me know when you have them taken care of and I'll be happy to add it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:24, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Shameless Wiki (approved)
I adopted the Shameless Wiki, well must have been over a year ago now, I've already more than doubled the amount of articles and brought the existing ones up to scratch. I'm still adding to the Wiki and fixing whats there but with both the UK Shameless airing it's Series 9 and the US Shameless airing it's Season 2 right now, a spotlight would be brilliant to capitalize on the shared airing time. I would like to point out that the Special:Short Pages or whatever it's called is for some reason listing every single paged on the Wiki, and you only have to look at said pages or their file size to see that is a complete error. http://shameless.wikia.com/wiki/Shameless_Wiki Thanks in advance. -- <font color="royalblue" size="2">Lyco499 (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:58, February 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. ShortPages just lists the first 1000 pages (or however many there are) from shortest to longest.  LongPages lists them the other way.  So that is how it's supposed to work.


 * The wiki looks good and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:52, March 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well don't I feel stupid lol. Thanks very much. I'm not picky about how the spotlight looks, other than making sure it shows the wiki is for the Uk and US versions of the show. -- <font color="royalblue" size="2">Lyco499 (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:39, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Clash of the Titans Wiki
Hello, I am the Admin/Sysop of the COTT Wiki. I have very recently been placed in the developer seat, as all the other original editors have given up on the site. I have since completely re-designed and re-organised pretty much every page and category on the wiki, though the wiki has a small 105 pages, I can tell you that with every week that 105 pages increases in quality as each article has its own unique atmosphere, however providing an obvious connection to its similar pages.

Very soon, it will be March, and on the 30th, "Wrath of the Titans" shall be released worldwide and i ask that my wiki be placed in the spotlight, to both increase the popularity of a franchise many have given up on, as well as rebuilding the the interest many people have had, and still do for Ancient Greek Mythology.

Thank You. PalodOro 19:58, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

http://clash-of-the-titans.wikia.com/wiki/Clash_of_the_Titans_Wiki


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted through the requests page a wiki needs to meet our Spotlight criteria, including having at least 200 non-stub content articles.  I realize the timing is better now, and I'm sorry to have to say no.  Please feel free to ask again when you've had a chance to build the wiki further.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:56, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Donkey Kong Wiki (approved)
Um, hi. Can someone please put Donkey Kong Wiki up for spotlight (means to advertise it) around Wikia? It has like over 900 articles, lacks stubs and has a lot of images there. I am basically the only one active there k?

I don't know if this should go here or not, but could the text please say;

Donkey Kong Wiki, your number one resource to the Donkey Kong series.

Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki
I would like a spotlight for the Ultra Dragon Ball Wiki, please? The wiki fills all the requirements. 1: I am an active admin. 2: The wiki has far more than 200 content pages. 3: The wiki does have a picture, as well as important content on it. The wiki main page protection is not sysop-protected. 4: The category structure of the wiki is very good, and is often being even further improved. There are few, if not no uncategorized pages. 5: The wiki is very stable and friendly. 6: It does use the Wikia Welcome Tool, I believe. 7: It does. 8: The wiki has an Oasis and Monobook skin. 9: The wiki does not have offensive language or inappropriate images, the other admins and I make sure of that.

Here's the link to the wiki: http://ultradragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Ultra_Dragon_Ball_Wiki <font color=white style=background:blue>~Gotek~ February 27


 * Hi. Thanks for taking the time to go through the spotlight criteria!  The only thing I see is that you actually do have quite a few uncategorized pages.  Could you please take care of them?

Roblox Wiki (approved)
Hey, I was wondering if Roblox wiki could be approved for spotlight. Yes, the main page is locked, but we've had a lot of problems with vandals on and off in the past, but most of those problems have resolved. We have a great community and three active admins and two semi-active admins along with countless moderators (a full list can be found here) moderating the wiki, along with over 1000 users (80 all week editors, and over 100 weekend editors on top of the 80, along with many users that pass by) and around 1350 pages. All pages that were uncategorized (as of Dec 25th 2011) have been categorized, and although we have a big community, we are looking for more experienced users. We are also looking for users who have created their own wikis about roblox because they never heard about us! Please reply soon, and if accepted, please mention the approximate date the ad will be running. Thanks! Colgatecity 00:00, February 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Roblox Wiki looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  Usually spotlights go up about 2 weeks after being approved, so around March 14th in this case. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:17, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Bakugan Wikia (approved)
Hello, I would like to request a Spotlight for the Bakugan Wikia, http://bakugan.wikia.com/wiki/Special:WikiActivity, for it's three year anniversary. It shouldn't have too many stubs, it has enough pages, and uses the welcome and everything else.

The only things I have a question about are that I've heard you(the wikia) can create the artwork rather than having it made, is that possible? Also, is it possible this could start running on the 14th of March?

 * Hi. The wiki looks great and I've put it on the approved spotlight list.  In fact the spotlight should start on either the 14th or possibly the 21st.  Yes, Wikia is happy to create the artwork for it.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 05:24, March 1, 2012 (UTC)

Pirates Online Players Wiki
I request a spotlight for [[w:c:potcoplayers]
 * 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 a sysop at 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 over 4000
 * 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.
 * Its sysop protected due to vandalism
 * The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).
 * We have an organized category tree
 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.
 * We aren't choosing any more admins
 * The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.)
 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)
 * Both are fully customized
 * The wiki should have a customized skin.
 * Yes, also some css changes
 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.
 * Both of those break our local rules

Merlin Wiki
Merlin Wiki has sparkled up over the last few months, but its editing has gone down. We have over 750 pages and over 4000 images! I believe our Wiki is one of the best, but not enough people know of it. I, myself am an admin and a bureaucrat of the site and I would like to request a spotlight. I believe it is the best way to bring users to the wiki, and statistically, gain popularity to Merlin Wiki, as well as Wikia itself. We also specialise in Blog Posts, with one of our blog posts getting a whopping 72 comments! We also have plenty of videos and templates. We have most of the features, like the Badges (customised), the Leaderboard, Top 10 Lists and Polls. We have roughly 10 active (passionate) admins so vandals on our wiki don't stand a chance. Please most consider this request, since many people from around the world absolutely adore Merlin! ♫ ₪ Ḡwẵine Ḹٍٍkƨ Ĺiĸe Ͼềлȑềd ₪ ♫ 11:56, March 2, 2012 (UTC) ☾ⓓⓐⓝⓘⓔⓛ☽ 12:01, March 2, 2012 (UTC)Dryuuu
