Hello all, I am here to explain about a great opportunity! Many of you know about Wikia Spotlights, I feel that the best way to truly represent is to adhere to it! Before we do attempt to achieve this ambition, a couple of things need to be in order.

Verbatim from the Spotlights page:

Best practices
When you request a spotlight, your wiki should follow these best practices:


 * The requester should be either an active admin, or link to a discussion with an active admin of the wiki and agreeing to the spotlight.


 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (less than about 300 bytes; listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than a fifth of all pages on the wiki.


 * The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content. It should not be sysop-protected from editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.


 * The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category (Special:UncategorizedPages should be empty).


 * The wiki should not be in the middle of choosing new admins, or any other upheavals; it should be a stable, friendly place.


 * The wiki should be using the Wikia welcome tool, signed by admins -- (MediaWiki:Welcome-user should say @latest, @sysop or the name of an admin.)


 * The wiki should have a custom message in the Community Center on Recent Wiki Activity. (MediaWiki:Community-corner)


 * The wiki should have a customized skin.


 * The wiki should not use offensive language or include inappropriate images.

Wikia staff will make all final decisions on spotlights and placement will be at their discretion.

This goal is achievable! There are some obvious things we need to fix, like categories and stubs. But we have such a great Userbase, it should take us no time at all!

Please consider this! This will bring contributors and positive collaboration to our wiki, making it shine even brighter!

Thank you as always
