== scratchblocks version parameter ==

{{done}}<br/>
I was thinking we should have a version parameter for scratchblocks so that we could see what they looked like in previous versions of Scratch. This would be useful for articles that cover previous versions of Scratch.<br/>
Example: <code><nowiki><scratchblocks version="2.0"></scratchblocks></nowiki></code>{{User:1a3c5e7g9i/Signature}} 20:40, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
:I definitely support! When we were moving to 3.0 I originally thought that we would keep the old sb extension and just change the tag to "scratchblocks2" (or something like that), and make a new one for 3.0 and it would have a "scratchblocks" tag.<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 20:52, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
::I definitely agree! Having this would be better for the old 2.0 pages. '''+1''' {{e|:D}}<br/>{{User:12944qwerty/Templates/Sig}} 21:59, 18 March 2019 (UTC)
:::Support! I do think we should also be able to view what the old blocks look like, because it might be useful in some situations (who knows?). <scratchsig>NilsTheBest</scratchsig> 02:22, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
::::Be careful: Long comment. Nutshell: too hard to implement
::::This is apple502j, the one who made ScratchBlocks4 extension. I know what you need, and it's nice. I'd wanted to make it possible to install both (2.0 version and 3.0 version) version to MediaWiki, but it was too hard to do so.
::::Old scratchblocks (Old for short) and new scratchblocks (New for short) uses the same global(window.) variable name. If you install Old first and New second, Old's JS variable is gone, and vise versa. I tried to solve the problem by replacing the name of New JS with a simple Python script, but it didn't work well. Without the script, we had to manually change it, which is also too hard. To make ScratchBlocks4 available earlier, I had to cut the feature.
::::Old and New also use the same identifier inside MediaWiki. This was a bit easier than that JS one.
::::While it's possible to beg tjvr, it would still need time. For this reason, I think it's hard to implement. {{User:Apple502j/siggy}} 06:54, 23 March 2019 (UTC)
:::::I support! Now I know it's hard to implement, but it becomes easier if we accept a tradeoff: each article can only have one scratchblocks version. That way there aren't any name conflicts and it'll still work fine. I'll look into it later.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 06:08, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
::::::I was thinking that each version of scratchblocks should be stored in a different global variable (new idea made from Apple502j's explanation), but your idea sounds more practical!{{User:1a3c5e7g9i/Signature}} 02:05, 1 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::Scratchblocks already allows you to render either in Scratch 2 or Scratch 3 style, so possibly you could make that feature available? https://github.com/scratchblocks/scratchblocks/releases (That page also explains how to scale scratchblocks to 67.5%, I suppose you mean to fix that soon?) <scratchsig>Jonathan50</scratchsig> 08:14, 13 April 2019 (UTC)
::::::We already scale scratchblocks to that size, but with a different method, because the method on that page doesn't take into account that the space taken up remains unchanged (it was designed for the scratchblocks.github.io page).
::::::You have a point! We don't need to include different versions of scratchblocks to render different versions of Scratch! I'll get to it right away.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 11:28, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

== Moving domain of special-case wikis ==
{{done|Domains changed}}

Hello everyone,

I’ll get right to the point. Currently, there are three "special case" Wikis, which have domains according to scratch-*.info instead of *.scratch-wiki.info.
These cause several problems:
* Links to them in Scratch comments [https://github.com/LLK/scratch-www/issues/1884 aren’t clickable]
* People keep asking why those domains are special
* Code linking to those wikis has to be duplicated

On the GitHub issue I linked above, LiFay suggested moving the special cases to normal domains, and having the “special case” domains redirect to the normal ones. I think this is a good idea, but we need more discussion on it first.
Moving it:
* Solves all the problems above
* Makes things consistent
However, it also:
* Needs redirecting

What are your thoughts? Should we move, or no? What else is there to consider?{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 06:02, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
:The special-domains of those wikis only have historically reasons and so I vote for moving them to the domains with the same structure as all others while additional making them fully accessible under their historic domains. {{User:MartinWollenweber/signature}} 15:07, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
::I agree to [[User:MartinWollenweber|MartinWollenweber]] but technically,it's very hard(because that means clon the Wikis) and clon the Wikis mean more memory and more technical problems.Therefore,this isn't a good idea but special cases are historical signature of the Wikis,so I suggest if a Wiki has a special domain,we can move all files to special domain and we can close standart domains for that wiki or we can remove all special domain.This is a hard problem.<scratchsig>Ahmetlii</scratchsig> 08:42, 19 April 2019 (UTC)
:::I think you misunderstand - we're not cloning the wikis; we are only making one domain point to the other. (It's like putting down two road signs - one says "de.scratch-wiki.info" and the other says "scratch-dach.info" but the other points you to the one.) The main concerns are really just the redirects. And our decision needs to take everyone else into account! Are you for or against?{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 05:12, 24 April 2019 (UTC)
::::Update after yesterday: The domains have been changed as planned. Redirects are also in place. All scratch-*.info domains are now properly *.scratch-wiki.info. {{done}}{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 02:06, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

== Changes to Compliment Tuesday? ==
I'm a big fan of motivating things like "Compliment Tuesday" but couldn't it be more effective, if we decrease the times per year say down to 4 or 2? It's more motivating honored and to be honored rarely by manny than often by just a few...  {{User:MartinWollenweber/signature}} 06:26, 3 April 2019 (UTC)
:I'm on board with that, currently we do Compliment Tuesday, every Tuesday, when there is four or more compliments. Though doing it every 6 months seems too far apart, but if we do it once a month, say the first Tuesday of the month, it's often enough that I don't forget, ;) but not too often that it is not that effective.

{{outdent|::::::}}
You people scare me sometimes with your prophetic power...

We (the EWs) agreed a few days ago on an election in June. I'm starting to get overwhelmed by the number of edits y'all are making - I can't patrol them all myself. Additionally, June will give us time to train the EW elects so that they're just in time to help deal with the summer traffic. However, now is not the time to discuss it (and I am putting my foot down now and specifically prohibiting talk about it until it's announced), so consider this {{done}} until June. (Also, please none of you take it upon yourselves to announce the election! You're just being a nuisance and nobody will take you seriously.)

@asqwde: I've been busy with school, which is why I haven't been on in a couple days. There are merely weeks until exams and the teachers are getting nervous. I'll have more time this coming long weekend. Besides, most of my activity is patrolling, which isn't registered on the active users page ({{e|:(}}) and which you can't see anyway.

@NYCDOT: Nobody ever said 2 EWs and 3 admins active every day is a good number. {{who}} Besides, when I do manage to find time to patrol, I do it all, which takes care of everything usually within a few days to a week. I'm fine on my own, but I expect that it'll be too much by summertime.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:00, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

:Hehe I check in on a daily basis here, definietely more than my edit count reveals.

::::::I don't see this as a failure of the current system, since we've moved the dates around accordingly in the past to fit our schedules... it is true that I was to busy to write it on Wiki Wednesday, but I had it in for a possible April Wiki Weekend (last weekend in the month) which we have done when necessary. LiFay told me that she would prefer to release that newsletter in May which means that the next write-up is for June. 
::::::To make the system more robust, you would need to backup write-ups to default to in case a certain month hasn't been written. This kind of one-time effort to create a years-worth of back-ups would go a long way to reducing the risk of missing a date on our end and I would certainly appreciate support in that process if you want me to head in that direction.
::::::To go through the points in the long-term planning post, I'll clear up how the articles are chosen. The process is decentralized, relying on language administrators to create processes to choose articles. In order to generate more PR-spinoff, the larger German and English Wikis have made community channels to recommend articles ([https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/288833/ here] and [https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/288005/ here], respectfully). We then rely on the administrators to fill out a google form which I then convert into a post.
::::::It would be great to have a portal for submissions that could automatically convert it to BBCode. I am not really sure how that could be done through an international wiki portal hosted here on the wikis (someone with a better programming perspective should comment on this).
::::::You are also correct in saying that it would be better if we presented historical article selections in a better way to consumers (I particularly like your setup [https://de.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Scratch-Wiki:Alle_Artikel_der_Woche here]).
::::::The best way to make the system more reliable on a monthly basis would be to ask the administrators to fill in the form earlier. I always get the responses either the night before or day of which makes it hard for me to include everyone and keep the submission timely.

For example, on [[Scratch Trends]], especially [[Scratch Trends#Evil Kumquat|this section]], the captions are very inconsistent. One says "An evil kumquat" and the next says "Two kumquats'''.'''". I know that if they caption is a sentence, it should have one. But the examples were both fragments (just the subject) and one was treated as a sentence and the other a phrase.

TL;DR: Should we or should we not put periods at the end of image captions that are not sentences?{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 21:11, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

== Should words replacing characters that can't be used in titles be capitalized? ==

<small>I renamed [[Chirp (Scratch modification)|Chirp (Scratch Modification)]] to "Chirp (Scratch modification)", because [[S:CONVENTIONS]] says that words in brackets shouldn't be capitalized (except for proper names). I suppose it would be alright to do the same for the rest of the Scratch mod articles, and update the links? (Edit: Though I can't really see why the titles say that, since there is only one Chirp, Panther, Insanity, Bingo and so on.) {{done|Done and thanks Ahmetlii.}}</small>

S:CONVENTIONS also states that words replacing characters that can't be used in titles shouldn't be capitalized. However, neither [[Backdrop Number (block)]], [[Costume Number (block)]], nor [[Item Number of () in () (block)]] follow this rule, and I think these titles would look a bit out of place if they did so. <scratchsig>Jonathan50</scratchsig> 08:04, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

{{done|Done, originally on [[S:CPND]]}} <br/>
I clicked the "Things To Do" bar and it directed me here (CP/Not done), I don't exactly get the "What To Do" part. Can someone please tell me what the Community Portal is for? Thanks! :)
<scratchsig>FrostyRAhAz</scratchsig> 00:56, 26 May 2019 (UTC)
:This (CP/Not done) is a page where [[S:CP|Community Portal]] topics are stored if it has been marked as {{Not done}} for 1 month or longer. The other Community Portal page is where current discussions go (its the main discussion page for the Scratch Wiki) The "What to Do" part on this page is basically to find any topics that you could share your opinions on or discuss it if necessary. (I'm pretty sure someone else could explain it more clearer) <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 01:06, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

== How can we not share our social media accounts and info? ==

Recently, I got my status revision reverted and deleted, because I posted my Twitter username. I remember, back when I was banned on Scratch, I posted a notice with a list of my accounts on other websites and the notice (and an Experiened Wikian's alleged response) disappeared in a flash. I would like an answer to this question.<br/>{{User:PrincessPandaLover/Sig}} 19:38, 31 May 2019 (UTC)

== June 2019 EW Election ==

=== Overview ===
On behalf of all the Scratch Wiki admins and EWs, I am happy to announce that '''the sixth Experienced Wikian elections will be held in this month of June, 2019.'''

You can find the most relevant information on the election page: [[Scratch Wiki:Elections/June 2019]] and the [[Scratch Wiki:Elections/June 2019/Nominations|nomination page]]. Visit this page to learn more about being an Experienced Wikian: [[Scratch Wiki:Experienced Wikians]]

=== Rationale ===
For a good portion of the past year, I (kenny2scratch) have been the sole active admin, with occasional help from the [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|other admins]] and [[Special:ListUsers/Experienced Wikian|other EWs]]. Don't get me wrong - it's fun, but it's now starting to get too much - as summer approaches, more people are becoming more active, and it's becoming really difficult to [[Help:Patrolled edits|patrol]] all the edits that are made every day. I used to be able to come home from school, have dinner, then patrol all the edits made that day before bed. That is now far from the case. I need help - hence this election.

=== Expectations/Hopes ===
EWs elected in this election should be able to dedicate a set amount of time each day to patrolling edits made that day. Though all edits from each day must be patrolled, the elects need not patrol them all by themselves. Instead, they should coordinate with myself and other admins and EWs to patrol the day's edits.

Elects should also:
* Know the account request process well (processing account requests is what the entire EW role was created for)
* Have a certain amount of activity per day outside of patrolling. Edits made in the course of patrolling are usually enough.
* Know how to gently/nicely/politely correct new users' behavior
** No: "Please remember to indent. You did not indent on User's talk page."
** Yes: "Hi, I just saw your message on User's talk page. Your comment was rather [positive adjective], but I just want to mention that when replying to other people's posts we usually..."

=== Conclusion ===
Nominations open at 12:00 AM UTC on June 2 (which is 8pm Scratch Time on June 1). Good luck, and may the best candidates win!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 12:41, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
:Sounds great! I'll be sure to vote! <small><small><small>also when i am writing this i literally got the message about it lol</small></small></small> <scratchsig>Yaov_1991</scratchsig> 12:57, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
::Just a friendly unoffical reminder that nominations begin in appx. two hours!{{User:NYCDOT/signature}} 21:56, 1 June 2019 (UTC)
:::I would join, but I'm inactive on here. I was nominated in the February 2016 election, and lost.

:::::Nominations are now open!{{User:NYCDOT/signature}} 00:02, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
::::::I would nominate myself, since I am active everyday and do know a lot of WikiCode, but, ehhh, I'm sort of new (I joined in March), and I think other older users deserve it more than me. So I'll definitely be there waiting for voting to start! <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 00:37, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent|::::::}}
You have no obligation to restrain yourself from nominations just because you think others deserve it more! In the end, it will be the Wiki community (by voting) who decide who deserves it the most. And your age is mostly irrelevant - as long as you have the [[S:W|Wikian]] usergroup and have a good track record, you're eligible for the election, both technically and morally.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
:Also keep in mind we're not necessarily only electing one EW (notice that the election page says "new EW'''s''' will be elected")! We'll only decide on how many to elect once we see how many nominations there are.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:06, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
::Nice! I've nominated myself!<scratchsig>MClovers</scratchsig> 06:26, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
:::Yep, I've added you to the list. (It's not necessary to report here that you've nominated yourself in case anyone else was wondering.){{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 06:33, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
::::I guess I'll give EW a shot. Thanks for the motivation! <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 21:10, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::Best of luck to all! {{e|:D}} <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 21:13, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent|:::::}}
Apologies to all - a very late rule change. In previous elections we have required 50 ''mainspace'' edits and a month-old account; the Wikian status only requires 50 edits, total. The rules have changed to fit previous elections - nominees now must have 50 ''mainspace'' edits, in addition to being a Wikian. I have updated the relevant pages accordingly - apologies if this affected you.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 01:13, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
:Hey, I nominated myself, but it got removed! I'm a wikian, I don't know what I did wrong? {{User:Yaov_1991/sig}} 19:04, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
::You need to have at least 50 mainspace edits, as stated above.{{User:NYCDOT/signature}} 19:20, 3 June 2019 (UTC)
Help! I just got 50 mainspace edits and re-nominated myself 2 days ago!<scratchsig>MClovers</scratchsig> 22:26, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
:::Kenny2scratch specifically said this when he undid your nomination: {{quote|You were not eligible and you only made just enough edits to become eligible. We're likely not going to include you in the list of candidates anyway because of that so there's really no point.|Revision [[Special:Diff/229356|229356]] summary by kenny2scratch}}
:::And also, make sure to indent after posting. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 18:10, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
::::The rules ''do'' say "Any person who is a Wikian, has at least 50 mainspace edits, and has a good track record…may nominate themself." There mightn't be any point other than that, but all the same. <scratchsig>Jonathan50</scratchsig> 23:42, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::At this point, I think it is up to the admins to decide now, not me. I don't really agree or disagree with him being able to get nominated now. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 01:33, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent|:::::}}
=== Candidates ===
Nominations are closed! After much deliberation by the admins and current EWs, here is the list of candidates (in alphabetical order) in the June 2019 election:
* apple502j
* banana439monkey
* jakel181
* NYCDOT
The number of EWs we are electing this election has also been confirmed to be '''two'''.

Candidates: Start writing your speeches! Once you have written your speech and are happy with what it says, '''post it in a reply here'''. Remember that speeches must be no more than 108 words and not break any rules stated on the [[Scratch Wiki:Elections/June 2019|election page]]. If you like, you can post your speech multiple times - your last reply here that you mark as your official speech will be the speech displayed on the election page. You have until June 16 to write and post and/or revise your speech.

Everyone else: There's nothing for you to do right now - voting starts on June 16. Check back in a week!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:49, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
:Oh well, good luck to all of the candidates who were chosen! <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 04:15, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
::Hello! I'm banana439monkey. I've been on the wiki for just over four years and have made 2300+ edits. As an active user, I read recent changes pretty much as soon as a new edit comes in, which is pretty fast. This means that I can undo malicious or/and incorrect edits before a person sees the page. Who doesn't like that squeaky clean shine? I also politely notify people who need to be reminded of the policies and guidelines while also quickly, thoroughly and efficiently patrolling edits. As for account requests, I thoroughly read request notes and have experience with ConfirmAccount. Vote efficient. Vote Banana.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 04:34, 9 June 2019 (UTC)
:::Hello, I’m Jakel181, and I’d like to be your next EW! I’ve been on scratch for 3 years and on the wiki for 2 years. I’m familiar with the community; being a member of the SDS, SWC, and the Test and DACH wiki, and experienced with leadership positions; SDS Translators, and Thankful Thursday. I’m extremely familiar, with the mediawiki software, and in the past have found various securities holes in the wiki, and helped patch them up, keeping the wiki safe. If you vote for me I promise, to keep the wiki a more safe, friendly, and productive place for all. Thank you for considering me for EW.<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 12:23, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
::::Hiya! I’m NYCDOT, and I want to be your Experienced Wikian (EW). Currently, I always check out the recent changes to make sure every edit is helpful and constructive, and would be able to help more by actually patrolling edits. Something else I would do would be to review account requests, which will ease the stress on the current active EWs. Also, some highlights on some things I’m doing is always updating the featured studios list, keeping pages crystal clean, and finishing the special pages list, because it’s been unfinished since 2014! In conclusion, that’s why you should vote for me. Vote for a better wiki. Vote NYCDOT.{{User:NYCDOT/signature}} 22:24, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
:::::Hi, I'm apple502j, a candidate of this EW election. As I'm working as an admin on Japanese wiki, I can use my knowledge gained there, like ConfirmAccounts. I'm also Scratch developer, translator, and SDS translator. I created a bunch of articles here with my powerful English and I've been here for more than 1.5 years! I'm usually free so I have much time for patrolling, and I know how to moderate this huge website. My timezone is JST: so I can patrol when Americans are asleep. If I'm elected, I'll make here a more-friendly help website. Vote Apple and make the Wiki nicer and bigger.{{User:Apple502j/siggy}} 11:59, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Thank you all for your speeches; note that I will not post them on the election page until the deadline actually arrives. You still have until the 16{{th}} (not the 23{{rd}}, as my post previously said, that was a mistake) to edit or otherwise revise your speech - remember that the last reply here that you mark as your speech (or that is otherwise obviously your speech) will be the one counted as your election speech.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 12:39, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

::If an editor creates a new Help: page, they would have to ask an admin to add it to the contents page. Plus, the Help:Contents page isn't really that high-traffic (Makethebrainhappy can enlighten you more on that) so it really doesn't need much protection.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 05:20, 9 June 2019 (UTC)

I thought it was weird that [[Scratch Wiki:Community Portal/Not Done]] did not redirect to [[Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal/Not Done]].

<nowiki>

{{Header Template|[[File:Document_stub.png|26px]]|'''This page is an orphan.''' This means that there are currently no links on this page. If you are an editor, please add a few!<includeonly>{{check date|{{{date|}}}}}</includeonly><includeonly>{{#ifeq:{{{cat}}}|no||[[Category:Pages With No Links|{{PAGENAME}}]]}}</includeonly>}}

== Question about the block plug-in ==

How do I make a custom block using the block plug-in? I need the actual block part, not the define hat.{{User:Ajsya/Siggy}} 00:57, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
:A custom stack block would have <code>:: custom</code> behind the text. For example <pre><sb>jump () :: custom</sb> </pre> would become 
:<sb>jump () :: custom</sb>. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 01:10, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
::{{Done|Thanks!}}{{User:Ajsya/Siggy}} 01:43, 21 June 2019 (UTC)

== Quick Question ==
{{done}}

Does <code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:</nowiki>''groupname''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> work for EWs? For bots, admins, and bureaucrats they work:
<br/><br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Sysop}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:sysop}}
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Bot}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:bot}}
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Bureaucrat}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:bureaucrat}}
<br/><br/>But for Experienced Wikians, I've attempted several times with different names, and they still don't work, even if I lowercase or uppercase:
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:EW}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:EW}} (Incorrect)
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Experienced Wikian}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:Experienced Wikian}} (Incorrect)
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Moderator}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:Moderator}} (Incorrect)
<br/><code><nowiki>{{NUMBERINGROUP:Mod}}</nowiki></code> → {{NUMBERINGROUP:Mod}} (Incorrect)
<br/><br/>Is there such thing, or am I doing it wrong? <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 04:50, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
:The technical group name is <code>Experienced_Wikians</code>, but because of the way MW works, it doesn't like anything with an underscore (i.e. space) in the group, at least for the NUMBERINGROUP parser function. (The fact that we named it with an underscore was an oversight and the name was set a loooong time ago.) I don't know any good way to fix this, not without breaking many links and busting current usergroup assignments. For now, treat the number as impossible to automatically count.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 09:50, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
::Hmm, ok. Is this a bug? <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 16:32, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
:::Not a bug, just an oversight on the part of the people who originally added the usergroup - they didn't know how to set display names and thus foolishly used the display name as the group ID.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 06:18, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
::::Ok, I guess this is now {{done}}. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 21:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

== Found a weird page ==

I found a weird sub-page and I have no Idea what it's for. It might need to be deleted, I don't know. [[Featured_Studios/Featured_Studio|The page can be found here.]]{{User:Ajsya/Siggy}} 01:30, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
:Look through the history and related changes! That page is a template that is used in multiple places - it's not a templatespace template because it's not very necessary for it to be there. It definitely doesn't need to be deleted; I've just semi-protected it.

{{done|Resolved}}

As said in the title, can users delete their userspace pages?

{{User:Smileycreations15/sig}} 09:35, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
:Use {{t|delete}} on the userpage you want deleted, or request for it to be deleted at [[S:CPSYS]]. An admin/EW will quickly delete it as wanted.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:27, 2 July 2019 (UTC)

== Unneeded redirect? ==
[[Clones|This page]] says it was deleted because it was an unneeded redirect. I don't know why that is considered unneeded. They way I found the page was because I looked up clones, not just clone, and it took me forever to find the [[cloning]] page. Why did we remove the redirect, people would still use it as I did, I think. {{E|:/}}{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 17:42, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
:I agree with it being recreated as a redirect, users might get confused. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 16:41, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

== We really need to fix this ==

I know that this bug has already been reported in 2016 [[S:BUGS|here]], but this isn't a topic reporting that.

For those who are familiar with this, there is a big bug where there are "ghost" items in categories, where listed pages do not belong in the category, and sometimes the opposite occurs.

But this has gotten really bad that like 25% or more of the pages listed in popular categories aren't actually supposed to be there, for example if you go to a page in [[:Category:Articles in Progress]], and scroll down, there should be a category that says "Articles in Progress", but most of the time there actually isn't the category.

Sometimes the opposite occurs, for example, the [[How to Evaluate an Expression]] article clearly ''has'' the category "Pages with Broken Formatting", but if you actually go to [[:Category:Pages with Broken Formatting]], it says that it contains no pages or media.

This also affects special pages too. If you look in [[Special:UncategorizedFiles]], most files in there ''are'' categorized.

Even though this has already been reported, I don't see any action that has been taken to update or fix this. New Wikians may be confused on why they are recommended to go to a category like [[:Category:Articles to Expand]], but go to [[Offline Editor]] and find out that it does ''not'' have the category.

Could this bug be fixed, or at least updated like every 2 weeks? If yes, please do it soon. I have myself also encountered many forms of this, and learned not to go into any categories to find a page to edit. <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 18:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)
:This can't be fixed immediately, because from what we currently know it's either slow categories or slow/crashy Wiki. I've started a discussion with the other bureaucrats, though - we'll see what we can do. We'll get back to you, but don't hope for too much.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 14:28, 5 July 2019 (UTC)
::Hmm, hopefully it can get fixed sooner or later. :/ <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 01:46, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
:::I've set up a job that is meant to update categories (idk about special pages) at noon every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, CEST. Let me know whether this works in the weeks to come.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:48, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
::::I'll make sure to check them if they work, will report back to you. <br/> A job? Now I'm curious. Who has the job right now? <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 18:22, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::It's a feature in MediaWiki, RunJobs.php is a maintenance script which forces the job queue to run.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 18:28, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
::::::Wait, so its automatic? <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 19:49, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
{{outdent|6}}
Wow, it worked! Just checked some categories and special pages; all of the pages/files that were added to a special page or a category before today that were supposed to be removed vanished!

EDIT: Also checked the pages that were supposed to be in a category/special page, that worked too!

Nice job for whoever did this (or is it automatic?) <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 17:40, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
:@TT and Banana: By "job" I meant a [[wikipedia:Cron|cron]] job, actually. It's not running runJobs.php, but rather refreshLinks.php which definitively updates all categories and link lists but takes a while to run which is why I've set it to run only on some days.
:Good that it seems to be working - keep monitoring over the next few weeks to be safe :){{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:17, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

== Test Wiki text error ==

I am not an editor of the Test Wiki, so I thought I'd ask you people. [https://test.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Real-Scratch-Wikis This page on the Test Wiki] has the text "The original Scratch Wiki was the English one originally started at Wikia by some young Scratchers and now hosted by the Scratch Team at the MIT Media Lab Livelong Kindergarten Group.". See that? "and now hosted by the Scratch Team at the MIT Media Lab Livelong Kindergarten Group"? I believe we had 2 server transfers and this information now should be inaccurate. Is it supposed to be like this? <scratchsig>God286</scratchsig> 06:05, 9 July 2019 (UTC)
:{{done|Updated}}. FYI the interwiki prefix for the Test wiki is "tw" so the thing about [[S:STYLE#no-ext-wikilinks]] still applies - link to that page [[:tw:Real-Scratch-Wikis|like so]].{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 09:01, 9 July 2019 (UTC)

== Link Previews ==

Hi everyone,

I just enabled link previews. This means that when you hover over an internal link, like [[Scratch|this one]], it will show you a brief preview of the page it links to.

Please let me know if there are any problems.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 20:33, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
:{{cool}} <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 20:46, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
::Verry cool! I am now hovering over everybody's names and stalking them.{{User:Ajsya/Siggy}} 13:31, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
:::Hmmm, just found out you can hover over a link, then hover over a link in that preview, hover over another one, and keep going until you find a preview with no links. Basically, you can sort of make a little worm of previews. Interesting! <scratchsig>TenType</scratchsig> 18:00, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
::::Awesome!
::::I don't know if this is on purpose, but there is a delay between the article title and the description showing up. It looks great though :){{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 00:27, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::@TenType: I discovered that too, and did you notice if you follow the first link in every page it eventually either loops or gets to the page [[Scratch]]? :)
:::::@EIephant_Lover: It's not on purpose, but it's easily explainable - the delay is the time it takes for your browser to fetch the content of the page so that it can show a snippet of that content. It's not like the extension pre-loads the content of ''all'' pages that are linked to!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:22, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
:::::@TenType: Linkception, perhaps? {{User:1a3c5e7g9i/Signature}} 00:23, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

== Why doesn't the "CodeMirror" thing always work? ==
{{done|Known Bug}}
Sometimes, I'll start editing, and notice that the little rainbow wheel shows up, and when it does, the code and wiki markup show in different colors. If you hover over it, it says "Disable CodeMirror (Syntax highlight)". If you click it, everything is shown as plain text and the wheel turns black, and it says "Enable" instead of "Disable". I know what it does and what it's for, but sometimes it doesn't even show up. It's weird and inconsistent, since I was testing it out and it isn't showing up now but it is in a different Community Portal discussion.{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 15:43, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
:Yeah, it happens all the time. I think it had something to do with the URL. I didn't really get it either.
:I had also posted this thing before too but it moved into the archives. <br/>{{User:12944qwerty/Templates/Sig}} 22:04, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
:I looked for it as a duplicate but didn't find anything. I know it happens a lot, but I want to know ''why''.{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 21:47, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
::I don't know for sure either - I speculated before, I believe, that it had something to do with how CodeMirror decides when to show itself, and that the method it used involved the URL address. A quick Google search doesn't turn up anything useful... I suppose we'll just have to treat it as a known bug for now.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:03, 7 March 2019 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I guess. It's annoying because the siggy bot gets confused if it doesn't show, and it asks me to confirm even if I've already put a signature. Then I have to type "CONFIRM" twice.{{User:EIephant Lover/Signature}} 22:06, 7 March 2019 (UTC)

== VisualEditor extension ==

Everyone knows that wiki markup is difficult to understand, and frankly, it disconnects users from the actual content. Though previewing is possible, it's annoying to do frequently, and some people don't even use it at all.

Therefore, I propose we get [[mediawikiwiki:Extension:VisualEditor|VisualEditor]]. This allows editing of pages without having to interact with wikitext at all - select some text, press {{kp|Ctrl|B}}, and it becomes bold right in front of your eyes! Type in <code>{{</code>, and a menu will pop up asking which template you want to add.

I feel like this would help a lot for new users who might not feel like learning a whole markup language.

There is a prerequisite - I need to make sure that the SWS [[mediawikiwiki:VisualEditor/Skin requirements|is compatible]] with it. But otherwise, I think this would be very helpful to install.

Thoughts?{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 10:16, 17 February 2018 (CET)

::::The extension is in beta phase and the wikimedia foundation is testing it as a beta to include it as a default extension.

::::::There is indeed an option to use wikitext, one that I would likely enable considering I've been editing without VisualEditor for two years... but the reason this has mostly fallen stagnant is because Parsoid is difficult at best to get installed on our systems (we don't really have the kind of access required to install things like it).
