I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks PotM is kind of weird. I haven't checked, but I wonder if the same pastas are being nominated each month by the same users. Is that the case? Because that seems kind of silly. It's like they are waiting for the other pastas that month to be not so good so the one they like will finally win. "Cure for Cancer" is going to win this month, but it's been nominated several times. It's like when they give an award to an actor just because they've been nominated year after year and never won anything. Is it that they were really the best, or that the competition was lacking? Or does that even matter? I'm not entirely sure.

And what if people just keep nominating their friends' pastas? I feel like the ones that deserve to win are ones that were nominated once and won by a landslide, like Necrosleep. I haven't read it, but I can tell it's pasta of the month because of the number of positive comments, not because people voted for it.

Maybe I'm totally wrong here, but I still agree with the OP about lack of visibility. I have no idea how to set up a wikia so I wouldn't know how to fix the problem, but there definitely is one. It would be awesome if pastas could have a little summary/teaser that you could read before having to click on the pasta and start reading to see what you're getting yourself into. It could show the title, the categories, a little blurb by the author; basically everything you see on wiki activity when someone adds a new page and also adds the categories and a summary. Is there any way to make a section that isolates that, and also adds any categories that are added after the initial submission?
