Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki (approved)
Hello, Z-Crushers Strike Force wiki needs more editors so I am requesting a spotlight. If we do get a spotlight I would like it to say "Make characters, fan fiction, original stories, and more at ZCSF Wiki!" and this to be the picture.

Thank You.

 * Hi. Z-Crushers Strike Force Wiki looks very Halloween-y :).  In order to be spotlighted it would need a few tweaks.  The main page protection needs to be lowered to only protect against anonymous users and new accounts, and there are some uncategorized pages that need sorting.  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those issues!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 05:04, October 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki looks good now and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:23, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Wigglepedia
Wigglepedia Might Be Perfect For The Spotlight. It Has Perfect Design. When It Goes To The Spotlight, This Should Be The Image:



And The Description Should Be Something Like "Make music with The Wiggles!"

And We Have Stub Pages Because We Don't Have Enough Information For That Page.

So Can It Be In The Spotlight?

JacobWiggle (talk) 21:27, November 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry but you still have too many stub pages for a spotlight.  Stub pages need to be less than 550 in total and right now there are nearly 1000.  If there is nothing to add to them, then perhaps you can put several of them together into a more interesting page.  But however you want to do it, you would need to have fewer stubs in order to be spotlighted.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 05:28, November 7, 2012 (UTC)

Code Geass Wiki (approved)
I would like to promote the Code Geass Wiki. I am an active member there. I would like to have more editors on the wiki. My wiki follows all the requirements except that it doesn't have its own customized skin color. However, I am currently in the process of making one and I will apply it as soon as possible. Thank You! 04:46, November 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Code Geass looks great -- I love the skin you made :). I have added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:28, November 20, 2012 (UTC)

Blacklight Wiki (approved)


I would like to promote the English Blacklight Wiki through Spotlights.

I am the admin of this wiki about the free FPS game Blacklight: Retribution and its predecessor Blacklight: Tango Down. It features 550+ pages, all of which are organized in categories, usually they also link to at least one other page and at least one other page links to them, and the majority of articles also having at least 1 picture. There is a German wiki also affiliated with it (of which I am the founder), a separate Spotlights request was filed for it in the international section.

 * Wiki: http://blacklight.wikia.com/wiki/Blacklight:_Tango_Down_Wiki
 * Title: Blacklight Wiki
 * Caption: Everyting about Blacklight: Retribution
 * Image: at right


 * Hi. Blacklight Wiki looks pretty good, and would just need a few tweaks to meet the spotlight criteria.  Could you please make a custom message for the Community Corner?  There are also a few uncategorized pages (many of them apparently just need to be deleted).  Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:35, November 20, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for cleaning those up. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:53, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

One Tree Hill Wiki (approved)
Hello! I would like to request another spotlight for One Tree Hill Wiki. Everything is the same as it was the last time it was spotlit: nothing uncategorized, no profane content, etc. Thank you! Savannah  Star  16:23, November 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki is still in good shape and we'll be happy to give it a second spotlight.

Hip Hop Fanon Wiki
Please give a spotlight to: http://www.hiphopfanon.wikia.com.It is new wiki where you can Write and post your own hip-hop music! Also write stories of your favorite hip-hop artists, and make your own artist page! Hey, don't like hip-hop?? Okay! Make other music! But remember, this is a mostly Hip-Hop site!! Please give this wiki a spotlight


 * Hi. Hip Hop Fanon sounds like a fun idea!  Unfortunately in order to be spotlighted the wiki needs to meet all of the spotlight criteria, including at least 200 non-stub content articles.  Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has grown a bit!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:01, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Baten Kaitos Wiki (approved)
Hello, my name is Revitalizer and I'm an administrator on the Baten Kaitos Wiki and I was hoping to get that Wiki approved for a spotlight. -Revitalizer (talk) 20:01, November 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Baten Kaitos Wiki looks great (love the holiday theme!) and I've added it to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:07, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

Google Wiki (approved)
The Google Wiki has been around since 2006, and used to be pretty popular. It's been abandoned for awhile, though, and I've recently adopted it, and been trying to restore it to activity. I've managed to get a few users to be active there, as well as get the article count over 200. I think the wiki has a ton of potential, and it wouldn't surprise me if it eventually ended up in the top 10 wikis someday. The spotlight's the best way I could think of to promote it, so I'm pretty excited to be doing this. :) I do have an image picked out, but I was sure of the dimensions, so I didn't take the screenshot, yet. Thanks for considering. :) Drewlzoo


 * Hi. Google Wiki looks pretty good in general. You do have a handful of uncategorized pages -- could you please sort those out?  Let me know on my wall when you've got that done and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:20, December 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking care of those! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:25, December 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * I fixed it. :) Drewlzoo


 * Oh yeah, I forgot to ask about the image's dimensions. Also, are you able to predict when it will be on the spotlight? Drewlzoo


 * I just saw this message, but the spotlight has already been made and will go up tomorrow. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:04, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

Medieval Universes Wiki (approved)
Hello. Medieval Universes Wiki originally had quite a few users, but it seems to have decayed in contributions over time. We've recently launched a campaign to bring users to the wiki, and we hope a spotlight can attract new users.

Medieval Universes is a collaborative project that lets users create fantasy fiction with each other. It is a medieval version of the largely-successful Multiverses Wiki.

We currently have an article count of 342 and we are hoping we can attract new users. Thanks! Lun os  22:48, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

The video game database wiki
I want to get my wiki featured. It would be a great jumpstart to fame :)http://thevideogamedatabase.wikia.com/wiki/TheVideoGameDatabase_Wiki Xboxandrotr (talk) 00:00, December 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. In order to be spotlighted your wiki would need to meet all of our adoption criteria.  In your case the big changes would be an expanded main page with navigation to important parts of the wiki, and at least 200 non-stub (longer than 300byte) categorized content pages.  Please feel free to ask again when your wiki has grown a bit more! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:13, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I would like to request a spotlight for my Kuroko no Basuke Wiki. The series is reaching a peak this Winter and more editors are welcome. All the requirements should be a-okay. 18:04, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Merlin Wiki (approved)
I would like to request a spotlight for the Merlin Wiki. As some of you may know, the current season of Merlin (Season Five) will be the last, and this season's eleventh episode is airing tonight, while the series will end on 5x13 on Christmas Eve. For both Merlin and the Merlin Wiki, to take a line from Faith of the Heart, "It's been a long road, getting from there to here."

Merlin Wiki has been with the show ever since its premiere in September 2008 and now we have nearly 1000 pages, over 12,412 files, over 254 active members, and over 154,396 edits since the Wiki's creation

Me again. Do I have enough pages? http://thevideogamedatabase.wikia.com/wiki/TheVideoGameDatabase_Wiki Xboxandrotr (talk) 01:51, December 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki has enough pages to meet the criteria, yes.  The remaining thing it needs in order to be spotlighted is a better mainpage, with links to important content and pictures etc.  Let me know on my talk page/wall when you have had a chance to work on it and I'll check again!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:26, January 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for sprucing up the main page. I've added the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:17, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

If it's not too late be sure to add the tagline "the definite database for gaming" as the tagline and a picture that has at least three gaming franchises in it! Thank You!--Xboxandrotr (talk) 01:40, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Die Hard wiki (approved)
I know that the Die Hard wiki was spotlighted awhile back. It just that it should be spotlighted since A Good Day to Die Hard is coming to theaters in February, so we can promote more editors. There is a photo on that wiki that should be big enough to use for spotlight, but I can't get it on there for some reason. So here is the link for it. 

Anyway, Everything on that wiki is still at much spotlight criteria. BattleshipMan (talk) 18:59, January 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I agree -- the wiki is still in great shape :).  I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:25, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Austin & Ally Wiki (approved)
Hi wikia! I would like to request the Austin & Ally Wiki for a spotlight!

Our wiki fulfills all of the requirements, as we have had a spotlight before! :)

Very soon, there will be a number of episodes that will be premiering and they will focus on a brewing romance between Austin & Ally, something that is very big in the fanbase. I would like if you could use this picture:



I would prefer it to say, "Auslly is in the air!" or "Romance is in the air!" Any of these other options are good too: "Are Austin & Ally becoming Auslly?", "Is Auslly happening?", "Is there a romance between Austin & Ally?", "Austin & Ally: A brewing romance?"

Thank you! :)

We're applying for our second spotlight~ :)

21:10, February 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki would need a few tweaks for another spotlight. The first is to take care of the 50 or so uncategorized pages.  The other is to spruce up the main page -- right now it has a prominent image and some other content dated from july 2011; that's approaching two years old!  Please update it to reflect what is currently happening on the wiki :).  Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of those things and I will check back.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:16, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Slush Invaders Wiki
Hello, I would like to apply the Slush Invaders wiki for a spotlight to gain more contributors and hopefully make the game more popular. If we do get a spotlight I would like it to say "Find out about these awesome rainbow-colored super fighters!" and for this to be the picture shown.

Ultralord159 (talk) 03:55, February 28, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Slush Invaders Wiki looks pretty good but it would need a few tweaks to meet the requested spotlight criteria.  The main page protection would need to be lowered to only block anonymous and new accounts from editing.  There are also a few uncategorized pages that need sorting.  Finally you currently have about 70 short, stub-length pages; you need at least 200 non-stub pages, so that means you cannot have more than 15 pages that are less than 300 bytes (or marked as stubs).   So you would need to work on strengthening some of the content on the wiki.  Please let me know on my wall when you have had a chance to work on these issues and I will check again!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:11, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Survivor Wiki (approved)
Hi Wendy! I'd like to apply for a spotlight for our wiki, Survivor Wiki! We feel we qualify for the spotlight as we match the criteria. I look forward to seeing us on the Around Wikia's Network section ;) Ḡwẵine Ḹٍٍkƨ Ĺiĸe Ͼềлȑềd  07:25, March 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Survivor Wiki is in generally great shape. The only issue with the spotlight criteria that I see is the main page protection - please drop it to protect only against anonymous users and new accounts. I don't see any non-IP vandalism in the history that would warrant the higher protection level.  Let me know on my wall when you have taken care of this and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Empire Earth Wiki (approved)
Hi, I wish to apply Empire Earth Wiki for a spotlight. Can you use this picture and perhaps use "The only RTS game that allows you to travel through time and history, literally!" for the caption. I think my wiki has completed all of the requirements. Thanks, Njk230 (talk) 16:20, March 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Empire Earth Wiki looks great, but it does need a few tweaks to meet the spotight criteria.  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Additionally, it needs to have 200 non-stub pages (longer than ~300 bytes).  Right now it has about 185 or so.  Please let me know on my wall when you have sorted out the categories and the stubs, and I will check back.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:38, March 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Wendy, I think I had finished all the requirements, check here for the full details. I hope you would approve my wiki for the spotlight. Thanks! Njk230 (talk) 13:31, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

CHB Roleplay Wiki (on hold)
I'm an administrator on the Camp Half-Blood Roleplay Wiki. Our wiki turns 2 years old on 1 April, I was wondering if we could have a spotlight to coincide? We've been spotlighted before, I'm pretty sure we still meet the requirements, just let me now if there's something I missed.


 * Hi. The wiki looks good and we'll be happy to spotlight it again. If I add it to the approved list today the spotlight will likely go up mid-month and be down by your wiki-anniversary (congrats on the two years by the way!). Please remind me on my wall sometime after the 15th to add it in to the approved list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:47, March 5, 2013 (UTC)

Warriors Share Wiki
Hello, I'm Leopardclaw, one of the admins at WSW and I would like to request a spotlight for it. We've been spotlighted before but recently had many of our oldest members either leave or become very inactive and I think a spotlight would be beneficial in attracting some new users. I've gone through and categorised all the previously uncategorised pages, and I believe we're okay for all the other requirements. Thanks, 18:55, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

NightClan Roleplaying Wiki
Hi, I'm Mistybird, an admin at NightClan Roleplaying Wiki. I would like to request a spotlight. We would like some new users. Our wiki is very popular around Warriors Fanfiction Wiki, but nowhere else. All pages are categorized except one, which won't let me give it a category. Thanks! ~Mistybird

Hi, I would like to request a spotlight for the Clone Wars, since it's (almost) the end of the Clone Wars, they have a few more arcs left, ending it. Anyways, we have 192 stubs and decreasing, we have no uncategorized pages, and we have 1,463 pages and rising. We fit all the needs for a spotlight.
