Welcome to '''The 'Shroom Spotlight!'''
Welcome to '''The 'Shroom Spotlight!'''


This is a monthly 'Shroom section which places the "spotlight" on a small group of pages which are selected from various [[MarioWiki:Maintenance|maintenance categories]] (such as rewriting an article, or adding more images). Due to the project's broard coverage, there is always a good choice of focuses which appeals to everyone's interests and abilities. Progress on improving these articles are reviewed in the following month's edition, and a new group of articles are selected.

The 'Shroom Spotlight project all started with an idea from {{User|Xzelion}}, who first brought it up among the wiki staff members in April, 2011. Originally referred to as "Wiki Game of the Month", it was proposed that this new project could focus on improving articles relating to a game which has already been released for some time, aiming to recreate the rush of activity from users who were covering content for the newest game releases. At the time, the [[MarioWiki:PipeProject|PipeProjects]] system was the main method of forming new user collaborations, although it was understood that such projects weren't always successful in gaining widespread input from users. To attract ongoing community engagement, it was suggested that this new monthly project should have its own section within [[The 'Shroom:About|The 'Shroom]] community paper.

After deciding on "The 'Shroom Spotlight" as a project title, it was planned that the monthly section was to be co-ordinated by the wiki staff, and users were initially able to sign up to show their interest in contributing to the project. Early editions focused only on a specific game every month, and readers were invited to collaborate on improving the articles lacking in content which are related to that game. Today, Spotlight covers a very broad selection of articles in each edition, with each focus normally coming from a different maintenance category.

The 'Shroom

The 'Shroom Spotlight

Shroom Spotlight Poochy.png

Welcome to The 'Shroom Spotlight!

This is a monthly 'Shroom section which places the "spotlight" on a small group of pages which are selected from various maintenance categories (such as rewriting an article, or adding more images). Due to the project's broard coverage, there is always a good choice of focuses which appeals to everyone's interests and abilities. Progress on improving these articles are reviewed in the following month's edition, and a new group of articles are selected.

Please check out our current Spotlight edition!


Project coverage

'Shroom Spotlight editions usually focus on six different pages, each requiring a specific sort of improvement. Single article focuses have been covered in the past, and may still be done upon requests by readers.

The following improvement categories are currently covered by the Spotlight project:

Wanted article
 Any articles which still need to be created.
Stub article
 Articles or sections which are very short, and lacking vital information.
Rewrite required
 Poorly written pages which require revising.
Rewrite and expansion required
 Pages which require a rewrite, as well as an expansion to cover missing information.
Long trivia section
 All trivia sections should only contain miscellaneous and notable information which does not fit elsewhere within the article. Trivia should be incorporated into other article sections when applicable.
Image requested
 Articles which require at least one image to illustrate the subject.
Articles that need more images
 Articles which already have at least one image, although more are required.
Image quality requested
 Images which are currently of very poor quality.
Media requested
 Articles which require at least one media file.
Articles that need more media
 Articles which already have at least one media file, although more are required.
Citation needed
 Articles which contain information requiring a valid reference.

Formation of The 'Shroom Spotlight

The 'Shroom Spotlight project all started with an idea from Xzelion (talk), who first brought it up among the wiki staff members in April, 2011. Originally referred to as "Wiki Game of the Month", it was proposed that this new project could focus on improving articles relating to a game which has already been released for some time, aiming to recreate the rush of activity from users who were covering content for the newest game releases. At the time, the PipeProjects system was the main method of forming new user collaborations, although it was understood that such projects weren't always successful in gaining widespread input from users. To attract ongoing community engagement, it was suggested that this new monthly project should have its own section within The 'Shroom community paper.

“Having it be part of the 'Shroom will give it a basis in the community. Part of the reason that PipeProjects don't work so well is that they aren't big enough - they don't 'boom'.”
—Marioguy1, April 2011

After deciding on "The 'Shroom Spotlight" as a project title, it was planned that the monthly section was to be co-ordinated by the wiki staff, and users were initially able to sign up to show their interest in contributing to the project. Early editions focused only on a specific game every month, and readers were invited to collaborate on improving the articles lacking in content which are related to that game. Today, Spotlight covers a very broad selection of articles in each edition, with each focus normally coming from a different maintenance category.

The Spotlight Lakitu seen in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga became the official symbol of the project in June, 2013.
Management timeline
  • April 2011: The Spotlight project was founded by Xzelion (talk) and managed by Marioguy1 (talk), with the first edition appearing in the May 2011 special edition of The 'Shroom. Due to lack of user participation, the section was soon abandoned after appearing in three 'Shroom editions.
  • April 2013: The project was relaunched with Shokora (talk) as the new manager, who introduced several changes to how the Spotlight is run.
  • January 2014: After writing eight editions of Spotlight, Shokora stepped down from his management position, and nominated Yoshi876 (talk) and GBAToad (talk) to co-manage the project as his successors.
  • September 2014: GBAToad resigned from his co-management position, although he still co-wrote for some 'Shroom special issues.
  • July 2016: Shokora rejoined the Spotlight management team, and the first Spotlight section co-written by Shokora and Yoshi876 appeared in the August 2016 edition of The 'Shroom.
  • December 2017: Shokora resigned as co-manager. Yoshi876 once again took on the role of sole manager.
  • August 2020: Alex95 (talk) joined with Yoshi876 as co-manager.
  • April 2022: Alex95 was removed from co-management. Yoshi876 once again took on the role of sole manager.
  • September 2023: RHG1951 (talk) joined as a Spotlight manager.
  • December 2023: Yoshi876 stepped back into a Staff Consultant position, with RHG1951 becoming sole manager.
