The 'Shroom Spotlight

Written by: RHG1951 (talk)

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.

First of all, I am no longer made out of paper. Being two-dimensional isn't all it's cracked up to be. Secondly, this month holds the wiki's anniversary and the Awards ceremony! It was held about a week ago and I hope you check it out on the Mario Boards forum if you missed out on it. As summer winds down, let's have one last summer jam on the wiki. Well, as much of a jam that a monthly newsletter section can provide. Before all that, let's go over last month's focuses.

Amazingly, all of the focuses have been completed! The majority them were even completed on the same day the issue was released! Technetium (talk) created the article for the Art Gallery, elaborated upon Kammy Koopa's role in Super Mario-kun, expanded on Goombella's other qualities, and documented the circumstances that causes a Shy Guy to appear during Clock Out. Sparks (talk) also helped with Goombella's article and added an image to Ms. Mowz's Song. Lastly, Scrooge200 (talk) recaptured File:PMTTYD Pit of 100 Trials Gloomba.png and the other images I had mentioned. Good going!

And now onto this month's focuses:

Article Category Focuses
Clock Tower (Princess Peach: Showtime!)
Wanted article
This clock tower is waiting for its stage debut on the wiki. Hurry, time is ticking until the spotlight moves away from it.
Micki
Stub article
Oh Micki, what a pity, you don't understand? You're page is very short which is why it needs a hand.
List of stickers in Super Mario Party
Rewrite and expansion required
As it stands now, this is incongruent with how this sort of information is typically handled. Additionally, it's missing useful information like Party Point costs.
Goop
Articles that need more images
What's a summer without referencing Super Mario Sunshine? Unlike Mario, I'm tasking you to take pictures of the goop in various games rather than cleaning it off. Although clean images of the goop are much appreciated.
Ending (Super Mario World)
Articles that need more media
Now, come on, come all to this tragic affair. This musical page is looking quite bare.
Unshelled Koopa Troopa
Citation needed
Wouldn't it be nice if this was cited? The Spanish name needs one to belong.

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!
