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.

As you may be aware, the wiki has adopted a "to-do list" format for article maintenance, similar to The Cutting Room Floor. As such, the construction, stub, rewrite, and rewrite-expand templates are being phased out. This edition of Spotlight is dedicated to these templates. This is the last time you'll see these as focuses, so you better savor them! But before we give one last goodbye, let's go over last month's focuses.

In a shocking turn of events, all six focuses were completed by Mariuigi Khed (talk)! He gave us the list of Suspects, added information of the battles against Poppy Kong, wrote the writing for Wall Lakitu, added an image of a Luigi-posed Cosmic Clone, possessed shrewdness by relocating notes in Shrewd Possessor, and provided a citation for Ella's voice actress! Way to go! Furthermore, Sorbetti (talk) added detailed prose for each appearance of Wall Lakitu.

And now onto this month's focuses:

Article Category Focuses
Make music
Wanted article
Donkey Kong Bananza is still missing bunches of coverage, so we're asking you to make "make music". However, we don't expect you to make "make music" music, that would be bananas.
The Farthest Edge of Space
Stub article
In The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, our heroes will travel all across the universe, but this is one corner they will certainly not visit. R.O.B. is unable to tell us about it, so it's up to you to chart this final frontier. Where does this location appear in WarioWare, Inc: Mega Party Game$!?
List of Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam hints
Rewrite required
This article is in a bit of a jam. There is no context given as to when each hint appears, the hints for story battles are out of chronological order, and there are barely any links to other articles. We're sure you all got the hint to fix these, so we'll let you get right to it.
Good Job!
Image requested
We know that it's harrowing to play a Mario Party game with The Car™, but we need a screenshot of Mario Party 9 where this song plays. If you do get this done, we'll be able to say some sort of phrase signifying praise.
San-ei Co., Ltd.
Articles that need more images
This may be a Super Mario All Star Collection, but it's currently incomplete! Upload images of the missing plushes from this set to make this section worthy of its title.
Peachette
Citation needed
Plenty of characters have official romanizations of their Japanese names, but does that include Peachette? Is there any place, whether games, official websites, or merchandise, where "Kinopeach" is written out?

Now just before we leave you, we'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently 48 that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2024, 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. There are also 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 us on either RHG's talk page or Technetium's 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!
