I am not sure if I am the one to respond to this, but here we go.

Maybe, just maybe... if you want good pastas to get some more recognition, then you need to promote good pasta. How? I have a few ideas.

"Quality Pastas" category - Basically, you could make it so that the "Quality" template instantly adds an "Quality Pasta" category to the page (can be done easily without manually adding the pastas). Then, the category "Quality Pastas" will be placed on the homepage as Suggested Reading. This could possibly attract players to that category and make them read the good pastas in there, boosting their popularity and giving them their recognition. Obviously, some admin would have to check the category weekly, to make sure that there are not any pastas that do not deserve the category, so that only the best of the best stay in. Any pastas that do not deserve the category would have the Quality template removed, deleting the pasta from the category.

Featured article - Weekly (or biweekly), the Admins or a few good writers (could be both together) would check all pages that were added to the wiki that week (or two weeks). Then, they would choose their favorite page for that week, and place a link to the page on the homepage, along with including the writer and a few beginning paragraphs of the story. Similar to the main wiki for creepypastas (sorry if this is considered advertising).

PoTM - I believe you understand how this works. Pretty much the same as the Pasta of The Month feature of the main wiki for creepypastas. Could be edited to accomodate for the small user amount of this wiki.

Those were just three of my ideas. These would, in my opinion, help promote pastas that deserve recognition.
