The 'Shroom:Issue 215/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.
It's the month of love and there's no greater love than getting maintenance templates off of articles (probably). Before going over both last month's and this month's focuses, I was requested to call attention to Template:Move infobox. Surprisingly, this template was only made a few months ago despite the various moves found throughout the games. So far, it's only been added to a handful of pages. If you can, please add it to any article where it is applicable. Now with that out of the way, let's go over last month's focuses.
Last month went decently with half of the focuses being fully completed. Nightwicked Bowser (talk) created Slippenglide Island, KinokoBlast (talk) added music samples for all of the remaining sections in Peach's Castle (theme), and Technetium (talk) provided the citation for Money Money! And while there's still work to be done, Marioguy (talk) added to Darkle and ThePowerPlayer (talk) better organized List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content. The only focus that was left completely untouched was Donkey Kong Country Returns.
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| If it isn't obvious, I'm a big fan of improving coverage on the wiki, and this is one of the two remaining non-level articles for Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge. Blow me away by getting this focus done. | ||
| Information of the game's later contests tends to get shaky with missing dates and themes. Europe's contests especially has major gaps. Consider it's been over a decade since WarioWare: D.I.Y. was released, information regarding the contests certainly will be hard to come by. | ||
| While this article looks pretty good on most fronts, it lacks a history section for game-specific information. Show some platonic love to the Animal Friends and get this completed. | ||
| Despite the searching by one Camwoodstock, this article still doesn't have an image. So, here's the burning question: Does this company even have a logo? | ||
| Just because Evil Woody is the antithesis of love on account of having "Evil" in his name doesn't mean he should be ignored. Get a better of image of him and maybe that'll encourage him to less evil. | ||
| Fortunately for Sluggy, this focus is concerned with broken graphics, not broken hearts. Do hacked in enemies become glitched sprites when they are shot into Sluggy? |
Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently 30 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. Lastly, there are thousands of articles with unsourced foreign names. They are found within this category, so please help out and add sources for them.
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!
