I would like to get The Hardy Boys Wiki spotlighted in the [[w:Wikia Spotlights|Wikia Spotlight. You can see these spotlighted wikis on the bottom of every page on every Wikia. Before I request this though, I thought I should give you guys the heads up.

Having the wiki spotlighted will (hopefully) mean new contributors. This means the admins of the HB Wiki will have to be ready to welcome new comers, via Template:Welcome or better yet with a personal message of welcome. Also, be ready to help out these new users, answer questions as needed, as needed.

BTW, this is what is required for a spotlighted wiki:

• The wiki should have a Welcome template for logged-in users and anonymous-IPs. Every new user should get a welcome on their talk page. Spotlights bring in new contributors, and it's very important that the community welcomes these new users, and helps them to get started. There shouldn't be any red Talk links on Recent changes. This is essential for any wiki that gets spotlighted.

• The wiki should use the Monaco skin as the default.

• The wiki should have at least 100 content pages, not counting stubs.

• The wiki should have a logo.

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

• The wiki should have a clear category structure to help readers navigate around the site. Every content page should be in a category.

If you have any questions, comments or objections, please post them below.

Bring 'em on! Seriously, that sounds like a great idea. We definitely need more contributors.

I've made the request. We should know soon if the wiki's up to standards - if not Wikia will tell as where to improve.
