Hi Super,

Are you able to elaborate on the spotlight hasn't been working very well? Is it the fact that it hasn't attracted many contributors?

In regards to me running the social media aspect of this wiki: I'm afraid I'm having a really busy time with college at the moment and I'm barely getting a free moment to edit my own wiki. Social Media sites aren't imperative, but I guess when more users come, the more users you will have who will be able to run the social media par in the future.

Unfortunately, it does take a lot of patience when attracting contributors, with, often, a lot of the hard work being done by one user for a longish period of time. I suggest you take a look at Help:Attracting contributors and see what you can find there.

We mustn't forget that the spotlight will take time to attract contributors! :) I must say as it is, I think it's great it's attracted 6 or so users already; that's a great achievement in my book.

My advice would be in terms of moving forward:
 * keep working hard on this wiki;
 * keep coming up with fresh, new ideas;
 * ask your community what they want on a forum post here or something - ask them how they feel this wiki should work;
 * enjoy yourself - there is no point in editing a wiki if your main aim is just to attract contributors. Wikia is not a job, it's a hobby. So go enjoy it! :)

I'm happy to have a chat when you're next on so do ping me when you're free. :)
