== Category Section Check(?) ==

The category section needs to be caught up such as the: work in-progress category, the projects in need of deletion category, the merge catgegory. Does anyone want to do a category check, just to keep it clear. Thank you! :) <scratchsig>Malik44</scratchsig> 02:53, 3 November 2016 (UTC)
:Wha bam! The deletion category is cleared. <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 05:24, 4 November 2016 (UTC)

== Update wiki ==

According to [https://mediawiki.org/wiki/Download the MediaWiki download page], it says {{quote|
To MediaWiki '''≤ 1.22.x,''' 1.24.x and 1.25.x users: Support of these branches was discontinued. Please update to a newer version of MediaWiki|The MW download page}}<br/>According to [[Special:Version|the page that displays the version of the wiki]], the SW runs v1.22.7. This means there is no longer any support for the SW's version. I think this wiki should be upgraded to the latest version of MediaWiki. If this wiki were to be updated, it should not be updated to any version apart from the most recent version. Why? This means the wiki has a longer support life. <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 16:01, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
:However, there is a big MW backend change in MW 1.24, and anything 1.24+ will likely break multiple extensions. That requires extra time and effort to fix so the wiki runs smoothly. I've upgraded all of the international wikis from 1.23- to 1.26, and I know it is somewhat painful.
:I also remember there was an incompatibility between MW 1.27 and ConfirmAccounts... That alone breaks the camel's back, as it is. I haven't tested ConfirmAccounts with the latest version of 1.27, but there is likely some trouble.
:I know 1.23 is a MW LTS version, but that gets discontinued in May 2017...
:It looks if we upgrade MW, then we have to go through the process of extension updating, ect...
:I vote for MW 1.26 for better extension compatibility. Plus, MW 1.26 is also a LTS version. <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 16:11, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
::1. *1.23.15 2. We can update the extensions and the skin, so they work better with the wiki. <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 16:15, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
:::The adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" comes to mind here. Is there anything actually wrong with the current version of MediaWiki or a feature that the new ones offer that we would actually use? If the answer is no to both of those, there's no reason to update. While it may no longer be officially supported, if there aren't any actual problems with the installation, there aren't any actual problems that hinder operation of the Wiki. That being said, if there are actual features that we would use (I haven't read the changelog yet so I don't know myself), then it probably is worth upgrading. In that case I could probably make the necessary fixes to ConfirmAccounts fairly easily, but I do believe that we would need to make some pretty major changes to the skin to make it work.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 21:14, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
::::The international wikis run using an altered version of the Scratchwikiskin that works with MW 1.26. We could use that if anything.
::::Otherwise, valid point jvvg. Does upgrading give us anything important? <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 22:41, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
:::::According to the MW homepage, upgrading gives us security releases. <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 21:23, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
::::::Maybe look [[mediawikiwiki:MediaWiki 1.28|here]]. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 03:02, 17 December 2016 (UTC)

== Does anyone know what that template is? ==

Ok, so I'm looking for a template that I saw on an article that said something like "This article is about ___. You may be looking for ___." or something like that. I wanted to use it but I couldn't find it. Anyone know what it is?
{{User:GlassGalaxy/Signature}} 02:26, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
:I think you want {{t|about}}.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 03:31, 10 November 2016 (UTC)
::Yeah, I think that's it. Thanks!{{User:GlassGalaxy/Signature}} 23:56, 11 November 2016 (UTC)

== What's the difference between these two? ==

What's the difference between [[Scratch_Wiki:Table_of_Contents/Website]] and [[Scratch_Wiki:Table_of_Contents/Front_Page]]?
Also, is there an article where I could link [[File:About_nav_bar.png|30px]] to? I couldn't find a Wiki page for it because I put it on [[Scratch_Wiki:Table_of_Contents/Website]].{{User:GlassGalaxy/Signature}} 03:58, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
:It looks like we don't have an article for [[About]]. That's something anyone could make.
:There doesn't seem to be a difference between the two ToC articles, besides that /Website looks better. Looking back historically, it looks like /Front Page was intended to be the graphical copy of the website, and /Website was a table of links. However, in September 2014, /Website was updated to be a graphical copy of the website to be "more convenient for visitors".
:In hindsight, we should probably consolidate all links to point to /Front Page, and revert Website to a table. <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 20:48, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
::Yeah ok. Making an article for About is going to go on my to-do list. Yesterday I was working on making /Website look better and somehow I stumbled upon /Front Page and I was curious. c:{{User:GlassGalaxy/Signature}} 23:36, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

== Wiki Wednesday ==

Hello and welcome to another Wiki Wednesday! It's already an exciting time of year, so let's make it better with a nice, wholesome article. :)

For the list of previous Wiki Wednesday, see: [[Wiki Wednesday/Articles]]

What should we feature this month? A good candidate would have interesting content, some images, and follow wiki guidelines. <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 04:06, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
:Maybe [[Cloning]]. Also for the love-it article that I suggested the edit I did on it before I suggested it was just removing a word I think so. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:24, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
::I normally don't vote in these, but I would like to jot down this wonderful tutorial: [[Pen Art Examples]]
::@Ziggy741: I'll make sure to send your suggestion to LiFaytheGoblin. :) <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 23:29, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
:::Okay. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:26, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

== French Wiki ==

Woo hoo! We just got a new French Scratch wiki! Link: [[fr:Accueil|Accueil]]

To interwiki to the French wiki, simply put fr: at the front of the link. For example: <nowiki>[[fr:Accueil|Accueil]]</nowiki>

The next step now is to start interwiki linking the articles. If you know some French, please help! :) <scratchsig>ErnieParke</scratchsig> 23:26, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
:On the browser I use it gives me an option to translate the page so maybe I could help. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:30, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
::It won't work! <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:39, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
:::I think because the interwiki thing does it different than the links for the French Wiki. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:45, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
::::Realy? For me it works at all article pages: You only hve to put <nowiki>[["languageID":"Name of the article in that wiki"]]</nowiki> at the end of the source-text of an english article (e.g.  

:::::<nowiki>
[[de:Hauptseite]]
[[fr:Accueil]]
[[hu:Kezdőlap]]
[[id:Halaman_Utama]]
[[ja:メインページ]]
[[nl:Hoofdpagina]]
[[ru:Заглавная страница]]</nowiki> 

:::::is added at the end of the source-text of [[Scratch_Wiki_Home]]), and you can see the Interwiki-Links at "In other Language"-Menu at the left of the Article-Area. Does it now work for you? There is still much work to do with interwiki, see:
*[[Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:fr:Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:de:Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:ru:Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:ja:Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:id:Special:MostInterwikis]]
*[[:nl:Special:MostInterwikis]]
:::::I think it would be helpful to have an interwiki-bot that does all the implicit-links (than our international authors only would need to put a link to the english-articles in their articles, and all other Interwiki-link could be done by the bot, because it's implicit). They have such a bot in WIkipedia that we could use for the Scratch-WIki-Family. What do you think? <scratchsig>MartinWollenweber</scratchsig> 09:49, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

== curator ==

abhi2006 is the new FPC. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

== Cleaning time! ==

As of the time I write this, we have...
*11 [[:Category:Pages in Question of Usefulness|pages in question of usefulness]]
*42 [[:Category:Articles to Expand|articles in need of expansion]]
*23 [[:Category:Wiki Standards|pages that don't meet Wiki standards]]
*27 [[:Category:Article Stubs|stubs]]

That's 103 pages that need improvement (there are some pages in two categories, so in reality it's a little smaller), but that's still nearly 10% of the pages on the Wiki. With Scratch 3.0 coming sometime soon, a lot of people will probably forget about the existing pages and instead focus on the new pages that will need to be created or updated. Before that happens, we should try to make the pages we do have as good as possible, so I am encouraging everybody to take a look at those categories and do what's possible to fix them.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 19:37, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

== New Wiki Wednesday Article ==

https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/228237/ says it is [[Cloning]]! Let's give some applause, and get this page ready for when they put it on the front page.<br />[[File:LeftoftheHeader.gif|18x18px|link=]] [[User:BF10|<span style="color:skyblue">'''♠BF10'''</span>]] <small>[[User talk:BF10|<span style="color:green">talk</span>]] ♦ [[Special:Contributions/BF10|<span style="color:blue">contributions</span>]]</small> 12:48, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

== featured article ==

When you click on the learn more thing it takes you to cloning and it says it's current () (block). <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 15:35, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
:It should be fixed now.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 17:05, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
::Okay. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 17:36, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

== category question ==

Do you need to ask before making a category? <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 01:23, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
:Not as long as you're sure no existing category exists for what you're creating and you correctly categorize the category. Someone else may modify or delete your category if necessary, as is true with all other contributed content.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 03:13, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
::Okay. Thank you! <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 16:11, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== protect template ==

Should there be a protect template? I once suggested one before. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 20:15, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
:Most of the time that pages need to be protected, either an admin is actively involved in creating it (like the Scratch Wiki documentation pages) or is the one who decides it needs to be protected (like edit wars), so I don't think a template is necessary.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 20:55, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
::What about for an archive for a talk page? <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 03:21, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I guess a template could help with that.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 04:03, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
::::So should I made a protect template? Should it be about archives? Maybe the template could look like this:
{{Header Template|[[File:Protect.PNG|50px]]|'''If you're an admin, please protect this page''' and remove this template from the page.

== Slatch? ==

I've noticed that there aren't any references to Slatch around here.  Is there a reason for this?
If not, should I assume it would go in "scratch trends"?
Thanks!
<scratchsig>Candylanguagegirl</scratchsig> 17:44, 30 December 2016 (UTC)

What actually is "Slatch"? If it's a popular thing, it will go in "Scratch Trends". If you're still unsure, ask quite a lot of people what Slatch is. If most of them know, put it in Scratch Trends.
<scratchsig>pig9992005</scratchsig> 20:06, 30 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think "Slatch" is a version of Scratch, but the mascot is a blue dog. I don't think it's an actual programming language, though, just more of a joke.

Hey guys. I'm not sure how long it's been since I've posted here, but I just want to inform you that I have gotten into a remixing issue on the main Scratch website that I don't think is ethical, yet the Scratch Team thinks it is. I will not be giving any more details.

This is causing a schism between me and the Scratch Team, and despite my reporting and protesting and posting on the Suggestions forum in an attempt to make things better for my integrity, I am seriously considering leaving the Scratch website as a whole and moving on to a place where I have more control over my content.

:Griffpatch seemingly has a pretty cool emulator https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/113321949/ - I suppose if they are fairly popular then they could merit an article indeed. Now the question is if the article would be called "Emulator Projects" or just "Emulator". If it is just "Emulator" then it will also have to cover non-Scratch stuff, stuff about real emulators outside of Scratch.

I'm terrible when it comes to adding images, so can someone add [[https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/File:Change_Email.PNG this]] image to [[How do I change my email address?|this]] page? {{User:Bright-Idea/Signature}} 20:05, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi
Please will you help me I am so stuck on what to do. I am new.
Thanks!

:Heya! If there's nothing to do currently, you don't have to worry about it. Something will pop up soon. However, can you please sign your posts by typing 4 tildes (~)? It helps us to understand posts better. {{User:Bright-Idea/Signature}} 22:52, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

== Signature ==

Hi
I have been told to do 4 ~Beccarecca~ 17:59, 1 February 2017 (UTC)'s but I do not know what it is for and if it is working or not.
Please can someone tell me!
Thanks!
:Nope, it is not working. Please type '4' ~. {{User:Bright-Idea/Signature}} 22:55, 1 February 2017 (UTC)


== Anything to do ==

If there is anything to do I would be happy to do it!

:Maybe look at [[:Category:Article Stubs]], [[:Category:Articles to Expand]], and [[:Category:Wiki Standards]] for pages that you could help with. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 18:31, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

== February 24 ==

Isn't February 24 going to be one year of Wiki Wednesday? Maybe we could do some stuff for it. Maybe there could be a Scratch Design Studio about it, add something about it in the Scratch Wiki Scratch news, and maybe someone could make a project about one year of Wiki Wednesday and it could get featured. <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 23:50, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
:I don't like the idea of making a project on Wiki Wednesday and requesting it to the ST to feature it. Wiki Wednesday isn't something that notable to deserve some type of project (no offence to fellow Wiki members). There wouldn't really be any use of the project other than a means to advertise Wiki Wednesday; I'd rather some lucky Scratcher out there get his project featured.<scratchsig>Turkey3</scratchsig> 02:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

== A Question ==

For image captions kinda like this one:
[[File:Kumquat.jpg|thumb|Some kumquats.]]
should there be the period? <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 00:04, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
:I usually do put a period myself.<scratchsig>Turkey3</scratchsig> 02:25, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Okay thanks! So should I do periods? <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 02:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:::I mean, unless we have some standard in place you could probably do what you want. I think period look cleaner and personally bug me less. But it's such a small matter when there's more important things like fixing stubs and such stuff.<scratchsig>Turkey3</scratchsig> 00:12, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

== How much is too much on the User Page? ==

I'm quite new to the Wiki, and I have seen some people put a lot of information on their user page. Is it preferable to do this, or should you try to keep your user page small? (I hope I'm formatting this right.) <scratchsig>Smartcutecandy</scratchsig> 20:56, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

== Conference Articles ==
I added some missing articles about historically and future Scratch Conferences, see [[:Category:Conference]].

== Wiki Wednesday! == 

Hello and welcome to another awesome Wiki Wednesday! Yes, it's that time of month where pick an article to feature on the Scratch website. Feel free to make any suggestions below!
