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.

Has it already been one year since I started writing for the Spotlight already? Time sure does fly when you're helping document the ins and outs of a 40-year old franchise. On the topic of documentation, a new section has been added to the backlog now that we're requiring non-English names to have proper citations. Currently, there are 17,458 entries within that category as of writing this, so please help out with reducing this number and remember to cite non-English names for future articles. With that out of the way, let's go over last month's focuses.

It was an alright performance last month with half of the focuses being fully completed. ZanyDragon (talk) created Clock Tower (Princess Peach: Showtime!), Technetium (talk) expanded Micki's page to be on par with the other Mario Tennis: Power Tour characters and found a source for the Spanish name of Unshelled Koopa, and Wildgoosespeeder (talk) added an image of Goop from Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Unfortunately for List of stickers in Super Mario Party and Ending (Super Mario World), they were left untouched.

And now onto this month's focuses:

Article Category Focuses
Mr. Time
Wanted article
I think it's about time Mr. Time from Tetris Attack had his article created. As an additional request from me, I would like if his "Stop!" voice line is also added to the article.
Booster Battle
Stub article
The content of this article needs a boost of its own. A good place to start would be describing the different courses and their obstacles.
Kero Sewers
Rewrite and expansion required
Given its maze-like layout, the Kero Sewers are prime candidate to have a section describing it.
File:LUNCHBREAK.png
Image quality requested
A lot of the screenshots for the Big Name Games in WarioWare D.I.Y. are blurry, so let's fix that, starting with this one. As for which game to capture the microgame in, I'll leave that up to you.
Warp Pipe Block
Image requested
It's a dream of mine that this article gets an image by the time of the next issue. Go team up and make this dream a reality.
Lucky House
Citation needed
Does the Prima guide for Super Mario 3D World really falsely claim that there's no Lucky House in World 1?

Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently fourteen 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!
