The 'Shroom:Issue 208/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.
Finally, the summer special is here! As part of the celebration, I am now made out of paper. Don't worry about the fire, it's also made out of paper. It was pretty hard choosing this month's focuses given the theming around only one game. The new content from the remake was quickly given articles and I wasn't exactly given a bounty of options for the stub article focus. But that's a good this since that means this game has excellent coverage! As always, let's go over last month's focuses first.
It was a good performance with three focuses being completed and another one being partially completed. Scrooge200 (talk) added all of Shy Guy Limbo's relevant information and expanded upon the Brick Block's role in various games, DesaMatt (talk) uploaded a larger version of File:Big Scorper.png, and ThePowerPlayer (talk) added an image of Kappa Mountain from Super Mario Advance 2. Unfortunately, the focuses for Monster Trophy and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels were left untouched. Who am I supposed to give the "Monster Trophy" trophy to now?
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| This is the last of the major additions to the remake that lacks an article. All of the images for the Art Gallery have already been added to the wiki, so it should be fairly easy to create. | ||
| Just because her appearance in Super Mario-kun is brief doesn't mean the section covering it should be as well. Does she appear in both the Paper Mario and The Thousand-Year Door arcs? | ||
| The article covers her Tattle ability well, but it's lacking in other aspects. Specifically, Goombella's other abilities in battle need to be expanded upon. | ||
| The quality of this image is really in the pits. Thankfully, this image is from an early floor so it won't be a trial to retake it. If you're up to the challenge, two other images from the Pit of 100 Trials also need to be improved. | ||
| While the name may lead you to think this is another focus for The Thousand-Year Door, it's actually for Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. Get some pictures of Mario busting out a move. | ||
| What are the circumstances that cause a Shy Guy to appear when Clock Out is used? When the move is used while training with the Battle Master, Shy Guys appear in the audience and enemy positions, so maybe that's a hint. |
Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently eleven that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2021, 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!
