The 'Shroom:Issue 203/The 'Shroom Spotlight
Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom, and welcome to Spotlight. Spotlight is a community project which aims to fix up the articles on the wiki which have issues. These issues can range from poor writing, to a lack of images, to even just needing a credible source.
How was your Valentine's Day? Whether it's by spending time with loved ones, doing the things you love, or enjoying the sweets, I hope that day went well for you. I've certainly been struck by Cupid's arrow because my love for the Rhythm Heaven series has come back very strongly this month. But enough about me, let's turn our attention to the wiki. Since this year is a leap year, you'll get an additional day to complete the focuses. Isn't that great? As always, let's go over last month's focuses first.
This year got off to a decent start. For the focuses formally marked as completed, Mushroom Head (talk) created the article for the Super Warp Block, Archivist Toadette (talk) added the list of transformation to Whirly Gate, and Pallukun (talk) added the image of Fossil from Stonetooth Cave. Most of the sections in List of references in film still don't have images, but KinokoBlast (talk) did add images for Firehouse Dog, Yogi Bear, and Spider-Man: No Way Home and that just tickles me pink to have those first two films properly represented on the wiki. Maybe it'll go even better this month!
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| Improving the coverage of the latest mainline Super Mario game is a high priority for sure. This is the earliest level without an article, so it should be easy to get this one done. | ||
| This focus raises the question of the ? Block's appearances in the Mario Party series. Are there really no sight of them in most of the numbered entries or are they just missing from our coverage? | ||
| Let's get to the point, the state of this article is very underbaked. Many games that involve points are missing and there's only one image in the entire article. Work has already been done to improve it recently, but there's still much to do. | ||
| While the section for the mobs has all the necessary images, the other sections showing the rest of unique assets in the Super Mario Mash-up are still incomplete. Since there are so many of them, any form of contribution is appreciated. | ||
| Looking at this image doesn't help me fall asleep. It does the opposite, actually. It gives me a headache with how blurry it is. A better capture is a must for a good night's rest. | ||
| An overly long trivia section is no laughing matter, and this article has six whole points! It might be difficult since most of them don't fit well in the existing sections, but even cutting its size in half is an improvement. |
Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently forty-seven that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2020, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. Additionally, there are many unresolved discussions that we would love to see come to some sort of conclusion. Some might have already concluded and just need the template removed, others have been waiting for a response for years.
Thanks for tuning in to the newest edition of The 'Shroom Spotlight! Be sure to turn up next month, where we'll be reviewing the progress on the above focuses. If you have any questions or suggestions about this month's set of the article focuses, then please get in touch through the dedicated topic if you have a forum account. If not, then please contact me on my talk page, but you are far more likely to get a quick response if you go through the forums. You are also welcome to make suggestions on what you think we could focus on in our next edition! Thank you, and good luck!
