== Articles to update for 3.0 ==

{{not done|Won't be done for a long time}}

Hello everyone, it's already January 2nd for me, so I figure I might as well get the preparations started.

=== Observations/Edit Guidance ===
Pages outdated upon 3.0 release are incredibly numerous. In most cases, one or more of the following edits can or should happen:
* Parts that talk about ''3.0 features'' in ''future tense'' (e.g. "there will be a new paint editor") should be changed to use ''present tense'' (e.g. "there is a new paint editor") or ''past tense'' (e.g. "a new paint editor was introduced")
* Parts that talk about ''3.0 changes'' in ''future tense'' (e.g. "the editor will be moved to the right side") should be changed to use ''past tense'' (e.g. "the editor was moved to the right side")
* Parts that mention ''dates'' in ''any tense'' should have their tense ''updated'' (e.g. "the official release will be January 2019" -> "the official release was January 2019")
* Parts that talk about ''2.0 features'' in ''any tense'' (e.g. "the paint editor has these features") should be changed to use ''past tense'' (e.g. "the paint editor had these features")
* Parts that talk about ''2.0 changes'' in ''any tense'' (e.g. "the editor was moved to the left") should all be changed to ''past tense'' if they haven't already.
* Take this opportunity to update things that weren't changed from 1.4 days as well.

=== Progress ===

Here is a list of articles that need to be updated (on their real versions in mainspace) upon the release of 3.0. You can probably already start updating them now. Articles marked with an asterisk (*) have updates available at [[Scratch Wiki:3.0 Articles]]/the article title, but:
{{warning|do not copy articles directly from their 3.0 versions!}}
Though in most cases the information will be correctly updated, make sure to use your own judgement as to its accuracy.

{{note|Some of the articles listed below need to be created.}}

Feel free to update this list yourself. Add any articles that you discover that need updates; remove articles that have been updated.

* Blocks
* File:Name bar.png
* File:Offline Editor Share Icon.png

=== Remember to take this opportunity to ''clean up'' articles as well as update them! ===
==== Fix typography or other writing issues as you come across them ====
We don't want to have to make a second sweep to clean up all the weird grammar from tense changes. Remember to fix the grammar and spelling of the articles ''as a whole'' while you update them.

==== Ask for help when you need it ====
If a page or redirect needs to be deleted or you need some other admin action, leave a message at [[Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal/Admin Requests]]. If you don't specifically need admin actions, you can ask anyone you think would know the answer to your question.

=== Here's to a good 3.0 release! ===

== List of deleted pages ==
{{not done}}

(Brought up here after discussion [[User talk:Jammum#About your Deleted Pages page|here]].)

So, there are currently four lists of deleted pages on this wiki:
* [[User:Mathfreak231/Deleted pages recovery|Mathfreak231's]], which is the most comprehensive but is no longer updated in his absence
* [[User:kenny2scratch/Deleted pages recovery|Mine]], which is a duplicate of Mathfreak's but hopefully more organized
* [[User:Jammum/Deleted Pages|Jammum's Deleted Pages]], which are more recent than either of the above
* [[User:Jammum/All Pages That Have Been Deleted|Jammum's All Deleted Pages]], which seems to be more recent and extensive but has the least information (it's only a list of titles)

I suggest (from jakel181's idea) that these become a single page in projectspace, something like "Scratch Wiki:Deleted Pages". This could be a [[Template:SWP|Scratch Wiki Project]].

;Advantages
* More organized
* One place for all
* Can be updated by anyone

;Disadvantages
:''None I can think of off the top of my head''

== “Secret” Compliments  ==

We all know Compliment Tuesday. To suggest compliments we have the [[S:CT]] page. It’s a great way to compliment people, but could be even better. 

Right now you suggest a compliment, everyone who wants to including the person who was complimented can see it and get posted on CP. 

So I thought that’s good but you do let look forward to the CP post because you know if you have been complimented. 

I propose proposing compliments on a way no-one else can see apart from the organizer(s). This can be achieved by a Google Form.

Proposed new method:

* Users suggest compliments on Google Form entering all details as they would before 

* End of the month (organizer)s have admin access to the form and gather responses

* Posted in CP

This way:

* Users will look forward to see compliments received and not seeing anytime of the month 

* People will be more encouraged by the compliments 

Ideas?{{User:Asqwde/sig}} 07:28, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:There are pros and cons to this... on one hand, people will be less self-conscious about complimenting if nobody knows it's them, but on the other hand some compliments either don't make sense if you don't know who it is or imply on their own who the person complimenting is. I do like the idea of looking forward to compliments rather than seeing them immediately, but the con to that is people might be disappointed if CT doesn't come out at the end of the month due to not enough people complimenting...{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:39, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::I'm on board with this. I still would like to keep the non-secret compliments as a second option if we go about this. The main problem would be moderation. With anonymity, there is more of a chance that something mean would come out of it. An unwritten policy of CT is, if I see a disrespectful "compliment" it won't be included. If we were to use a google forum, we would have to have some way of knowing who compliment who, we can't just ask for a username since we can't verify it wasn't an impostor. Any ideas how to go about this?<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 11:48, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:::Perhaps (again) an extension? Special:ComplimentTuesday sounds like an interesting idea...{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 11:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
::::Guess who forked your report extension ;) (or possibly Special:ThankfulThursday :P)<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 12:18, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
:::::+1 for a Special: page where compliments can be submitted and a way of suggesting public compliments{{User:Asqwde/sig}} 16:23, 9 May 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent|5}}
But also,Scratch and Scratch Wiki are growing up with "Imagine, Program, Share".[[Frequently Rejected Suggestions#Private Messaging|Here]]'s an rejected example suggestion:{{quote|Private Messaging
When communication is public, people are more likely to be respectful because they know that everyone can see it. However, when posting PMs, people know that only the intended recipient can see it, so do not think as much before posting. Even if a "Flag PM" function is implemented, the Scratch Team currently does not have the resources to moderate it, because of the reason said before there would be a lot of inappropriate/disrespectful messages.|Scratch Team}} Also,we can see other's compliments(Google Forms give this in finish of the form,right?).

Shortly:

*It's a bad idea because...

:*It means a lot of disrespectful or other bad messages

:*I have some questions about Google Forms security

:*Also, we'll need a lot code(if we'll use the Wiki for this)

:*And,we and Scratch Team have some notes about private messaging

:*If we'll try to check all of messages,it'll mean more time and more work

:*Anonymous and fake users have a big problem(in Google Forms)

:::::Not very much more, and @jakel181 has been doing a great job on CT so far, I'm sure he wouldn't mind looking through the compliments before he posts them.
::::* <s>Anonymous and fake users have a big problem(in Google Forms)</s>
:::::Not with a special page! {{done|Solved}}
::::I think a special page is definitely the way to go. I believe the following are the only questions to really consider:
::::* Do we actually want compliments to be hidden from everyone (except the organizer and the submitter) until they are posted?
::::** If so, who do we want to review the compliments so that nothing is inappropriate?
::::* Do we actually want to allow anonymous compliments? (Note: This and the previous question are two separate questions - the answer to one does not imply any answer to the other.)
::::** If we do want to allow anonymous compliments, we will have to still also allow onymous compliments - people can just include their names in their compliments.

* Do we actually want compliments to be hidden from everyone (except the organizer and the submitter) until they are posted? -Yes, they are. (I don't need it :P)
** If so, who do we want to review the compliments so that nothing is inappropriate? -It's named as "be shy" :)
* Do we actually want to allow anonymous compliments? (Note: This and the previous question are two separate questions - the answer to one does not imply any answer to the other.)
-No, we don't because S:JOIN-if somebody want to send a message, they must join and login to the Wiki.
** If we do want to allow anonymous compliments, we will have to still also allow onymous compliments - people can just include their names in their compliments.
-They can use Scratch profiles to send a message - it's only a Wiki about Scratch.

== Welcome templates ==
{{done}}

A lot of people have their own "welcome" templates that they post on new users' talk pages. This is a great idea, because new users can get to know new people and, of course, feel welcomed. However, the welcoming effect starts diminishing when things like this happen:

[[File:That's a lot of welcomes.PNG]]

10 different people jumping on the new user is too much - it's not welcoming, it's downright scary! How would you feel if you created an account somewhere and you were confronted with a wall of "welcome"s?

To counteract this, I don't propose forbidding welcomes entirely; what I instead think should be the case is that we have a limit on how many welcome messages can be on a talk page - probably around 4-5 at the most. That does mean it turns into a race as to who can get their message on first, but that can't be helped - if you want to get your message in, ya gotta be active at the right time.

I don't think there's much room for debate on the necessity of the limit, but what can be bargained is the limit itself - how many topics do you think is too many?{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:59, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

:I think that a limit of 4-5 is a great idea {{E|:)}} I still remember when I started the messages really confused me. Also, I'd say that if you post a welcome message, it should have a variation of the simple title "Welcome!". I tried to make mine a bit different. I like the "All aboard!" one. Maybe we could say if there are more than eight messages already, really don't put one, but if there are 4-5 try not to put your template, but a personal message is okay.{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 21:06, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

:::No, the point of each user having their own welcome template is for them to be specific to the user welcoming - a different message for each one. If they just wanted to add their name to a stock welcome they could reply to the {{t|welcome}} message added by default. However, 10 users posting personalized welcomes is a lot of different welcomes to read - which is why it needs limiting.
:::Seems like 4-5 is the limit we've agreed on; for the sake of looseness, '''the limit is now 5 welcome messages at most on any new user's talk page''' (not including the {{t|welcome}} message; does not apply to users created before this decision).

Hello everyone. It's been awhile since IWB has scanned the wikis for interwikis to add, and now is probably a good time to do that!

Below you'll find a list of proposed edits from the bot. It would be helpful if a few people could look at some proposed edits and double check them for errors:

[[User:InterwikiBot/Proposed_Edits]]

Several issues have already been discovered:

* Not properly handling empty interwikis, ex <nowiki>en:</nowiki>, see the ja homepage
* test -> tw
* The bot is proposing adding interwikis to other pages when they already have an interwiki for that language
* Help:Namespaces has a flat out wrong interwiki suggestion

Without mentioning that, some people might be confused that they are in German, and not English. They also [[Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal/Archive 105#Privacy Policy Article|cannot be translated into English]] without it being inaccurate. {{User:Jammum/Signature}} 13:21, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

:::Would you be amenable to using the [https://example.com external link marker] on them instead? Putting "(German)" on a footer link seems unorthodox...{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 10:33, 29 March 2020 (UTC)

::::: Maybe the Privacy Policy and the Disclaimers can be individually labelled that they are in German, or is that still 'unorthodox'? They could have 'in German' put in brackets after them. {{User:Jammum/Signature}} 13:29, 29 March 2020 (UTC)
