User blog:~~Silverflower~~/Possible Wiki Spotlight

Alright. I want to discuss something that has long been on my mind.

Should we consider a Wikia Spotlight?

Here are the requirements:


 * 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.

I could request it, and I'm supposed to have admin rights, I'm just waiting for it. =P


 * The wiki should have at least 200 content pages, not counting stubs. Very short articles (listed at Special:Shortpages) and articles marked with a stub template should make up no more than 1/5th of all pages on the wiki.

We have well over 300 pages.


 * The main page of the wiki should have at least one picture, and clear links to the most important content.

As far as I know it has clear links, and it has a sideshow linking to some of the ultra-important pages.


 * It should not be sysop-protected for editing unless there is a strong history of vandalism.

As far as I know it isn't locked.


 * 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).

I'm somewhat sure....I'll check on that.


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

Once we get the crat vote done and the crat given rights, and,once I get my rights, we should be good to go on this one.


 * 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.)

We indeed have a welcome tool.


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

Ay-okay.


 * The wiki should have a customized skin.

Absolutely.


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

We have a cussing-censor thing on our chat and no inappropriate images on this wiki as far as I know.

Some of this stuff I know we have to work on but this is something I think is worth considering and working towards. =)

Thoughts?
