User blog comment:Trellar/A new way to promote your wiki/@comment-3030984-20120830082424/@comment-23865-20120830141108

There is no plan to retire Spotlights right now. They are displayed in a different context – Spotlights show up throughout Wikia, while the "Promote" feature lets you showcase your wiki on the home page.

They're different tools for different uses and let you reach a slightly different audience.

There might be changes to Spotlights coming in the future, but if that's coming we will let you know.
