What is this board?
This board is dedicated to the Super Mario Wiki's community-driven newspaper, The 'Shroom. You can find basic information on the project here, but, to boil it down to the basics, The 'Shroom is a newspaper that comes out on a monthly basis (generally on the third Saturday of the month) that is a collection of sections submitted by users of the Super Mario Wiki and Super Mario Boards.
This board is The 'Shroom's outlet for communicating with the community on the forum, where threads are posted to announce new issue releases, to host 'Shroom-related events or games and contests organized by The 'Shroom. The stickied threads in this board provide quick references so users can find the latest issue or important information. In addition, users are free to post their own threads and hold discussions in this board, so long as those threads are clearly related to The 'Shroom.
How can I read The 'Shroom?
There is always a stickied thread at the top of this board with a link to the latest issue in the first post, but you can also always go to The 'Shroom's main page and it will take you to the most recent issue. The paper is split over multiple pages, so use the links on the main page and the navigation templates at the bottom of pages to move around within the issue. You can also take a look to the 'Shroom Creations sub-board for sections written by our many writers and contributors, and engage with them too.
Can I contribute to The 'Shroom?
Certainly, yes! As a community-run newspaper, The 'Shroom thrives on contributions from users. To contribute to the paper, you simply need to decide on what you'd like to write and send in an application that answers the following questions and includes a demo of your section (which, unless you request otherwise, will be used as your first submission if it is approved). To find more information on the sign-up process, please look at our sign-up page.

Can I see old editions of The 'Shroom? Is there any information on the history of the paper?
Every single issue of The 'Shroom is preserved in its entirety, and links to all of our past issues can be found in the archives. In addition, we keep the following spreadsheets which record the history of The 'Shroom's contributors and their contributions:
Find here a list of old content on The 'Shroom's board that was previously hosted on Pastebin.
What can I do to recognize writers who have made sections I've enjoyed?
First, you can be sure to vote in the Section of the Month polls at the end of every team page each month! Remember, you can vote once a week in them!
You can also fill out our Poochy's Picks form up to a week before the release of a new issue. We'll highlight sections in the Poochy's Picks subsection of the Staff Notes.
