''Hello, everyone. This is YoshiKong, and I have a special announcement to make. In the coming weeks I intend to retire from the community, and regretfully this means I must give up my 'Shroom positions, as well as my wiki sysop duties. But more than anything, I wish that the Spotlight project will continue to be a regular section in the newspaper. Ever since the section was resurrected and revamped last April, it has attracted a surprisingly large amount of community input, and it has been a great experience to co-ordinate it. I'm turning over the manager position to two users who have both strongly contributed throughout the duration of the project, and have expressed their interest in becoming co-managers together: {{user|Yoshi876}} and {{user|GBAToad}}. I have confidence that you will both continue the Spotlight project to a very high standard. Thank you everyone, and all the best for the new year!'' | ''Hello, everyone.

For starters, the '''[[:Category:Articles with long trivia sections|Trivia]]''' tag is empty at the time of writing, so we won't be including it in the Spotlight for some time. Thanks to everyone who contributed to reducing those long trivia sections! In its place, we’ll be tackling three other tags, starting with '''[[:Category:Articles to be rewritten and expanded|rewrite-expand]]''', the sister tag to rewrite. Obviously, articles and sections with this tag need a good rewrite, but also need additional information to bring them up to standard. | For starters, the '''[[:Category:Articles with long trivia sections|Trivia]]''' tag is empty at the time of writing, so we won't be including it in the Spotlight for some time.

To those image-savvy users, we’re also introducing '''[[:Category: | To those image-savvy users, we’re also introducing '''[[:Category:Images to be reuploaded with higher quality|quality requested]]''', where we advertise an inadequate image present on the wiki and ask for it to be improved, be it removing borders or just improving the quality overall. Lastly, we'll also be addressing '''[[Special:WantedPages|wanted pages]]''' where you’ll be creating new articles to meet our standards given in the [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]. Of course, only one user can create the page, but anyone can help contribute to it afterwards so that we produce a higher-quality article. | ||
Like YoshiKong before us, every month we'll be reviewing the progress made on these articles. By expanding the amount of tags and articles we focus on, we aim to get more contributions across a broader range and have a lot more to report on. | Like YoshiKong before us, every month we'll be reviewing the progress made on these articles.
