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 board 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 next month's edition, and a new group of articles are selected. | ||
== | |||
''Please check out [[The 'Shroom:Issue {{ShroomIssue}}/The 'Shroom Spotlight|'''our current Spotlight edition''']]!'' | |||
* | |||
===Coverage=== | |||
*.. | Early editions of Spotlight focused solely on a single game article each month, and various improvements required within that game article were highlighted. Today's editions normally focuses on six different pages, each requiring a specific kind of improvement (although a single article focus may still be covered upon reader requests). | ||
The following improvement categories are currently covered by the Spotlight project: | |||
*[[:Category:Stubs|Stubs]] – Articles or [[:Category:Section stubs|sections]] which are very short, and lacking vital information. | |||
*[[:Category:Rewrite requested|Rewrite requested]] – Poorly written pages which require revising. | |||
*[[:Category:Rewrite and expansion requested|Rewrite and expansion requested]] – Pages which require a rewrite, as well as an expansion to cover missing information. | |||
*[[:Category:Image requested|Image requested]] – Articles which require at least one image to illustrate the subject. | |||
*[[:Category:Articles that need more images|Articles that need more images]] – Articles which already have at least one image, although more are required. | |||
*[[:Category:Quality requested|Image quality requested]] – Images which are currently of very poor quality. | |||
*[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted articles]] – Any articles which still need to [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|be created]]. | |||
*[[:Category:Articles with long trivia sections|Articles with long trivia sections]] – All [[MarioWiki:Trivia|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. | |||
*[[:Category:Citation needed|Citation needed]] – Articles which contain information requiring a valid [[MarioWiki:Citations|reference]]. | |||
*[[:Category:Unfeature|Nominations to unfeature an article]] – Such nominations normally outline various problems with the article, in which users can collaborate on to maintain the article's [[MarioWiki:Featured articles|Featured]] status. | |||

===Management history=== | |||
*'''May 2011''': The Spotlight project was founded by {{User|Xzelion}}, and managed by {{User|Marioguy1}}. Due to lack of user participation, the project was soon abandoned after appearing in three 'Shroom editions. | |||
*'''April 2013''': The project was relaunched with {{User|YoshiKong}} as the new manager, who introduced several changes to how the Spotlight is run. | |||
*'''January 2014''': After writing eight editions of Spotlight, YoshiKong stepped down from his management position, and nominated {{User|Yoshi876}} and {{User|GBAToad}} to co-manage the project as his successors. | |||
*'''September 2014''': GBAToad resigned from his co-management position, although he still co-writes for 'Shroom special issues. | |||
*'''August 2016''': YoshiKong rejoined the Spotlight management team, and the first Spotlight section co-written by YoshiKong and Yoshi876 appeared in the August edition of The 'Shroom. | |||

Revision as of 10:47, August 19, 2016
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 board 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 next month's edition, and a new group of articles are selected.
Please check out [[The 'Shroom:Issue Template:ShroomIssue/The 'Shroom Spotlight|our current Spotlight edition]]!
Coverage
Early editions of Spotlight focused solely on a single game article each month, and various improvements required within that game article were highlighted. Today's editions normally focuses on six different pages, each requiring a specific kind of improvement (although a single article focus may still be covered upon reader requests).
The following improvement categories are currently covered by the Spotlight project:
- Stubs – Articles or sections which are very short, and lacking vital information.
- Rewrite requested – Poorly written pages which require revising.
- Rewrite and expansion requested – Pages which require a rewrite, as well as an expansion to cover missing information.
- 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.
- Wanted articles – Any articles which still need to be created.
- Articles with long trivia sections – 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.
- Citation needed – Articles which contain information requiring a valid reference.
- Nominations to unfeature an article – Such nominations normally outline various problems with the article, in which users can collaborate on to maintain the article's Featured status.

Management history
- May 2011: The Spotlight project was founded by Xzelion (talk), and managed by Marioguy1 (talk). Due to lack of user participation, the project was soon abandoned after appearing in three 'Shroom editions.
- April 2013: The project was relaunched with YoshiKong (talk) as the new manager, who introduced several changes to how the Spotlight is run.
- January 2014: After writing eight editions of Spotlight, YoshiKong 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-writes for 'Shroom special issues.
- August 2016: YoshiKong rejoined the Spotlight management team, and the first Spotlight section co-written by YoshiKong and Yoshi876 appeared in the August edition of The 'Shroom.
