Important: You will need to watch my talk page if you want to get notified when I respond to you (pencil icon > watch). I will always respond to you on my talk page unless you ask me otherwise. Thanks!

First

At least after you archived or deleted your talk. Anyway...

CSS

Is the CSS on the Wiki different to normal CSS in any way? I know a little CSS so I though I would decorate my userpage, but I didnt know if it was different on here. Thanks!

Well, we don't use CSS (in the normal way, at least). Here's an example of how you would style text:

<span style="color:purple;font-family:Georgia">Hello</span>

produces

Hello

If you'd like to add CSS for the whole wiki that only you can see, though, that is done using normal CSS, in your common.css file.

So I guess we kind of use CSS, but kind of not.

Ahh, thank you!

(by the way, is there a reason why you want the template substituted rather than transcluded?)

Alright, I'll check it out soon. As for why I want it substituted, it's so that if the template changes over time, previous substitutions will stay the same.

I find it interesting how on the Scratch Wiki we tend to have a bias towards transcluding talk page templates, whereas on Wikipedia it's the opposite (there tends to be a bias towards substituting them). At least, that's what I've observed from my time on both sites.

...not that there aren't upsides and downsides to both, but on here almost everyone transcludes, for example, welcome templates, whereas a lot of templates are supposed to be substituted on Wikipedia.

DIS

Hi! I made a second DIS so I could spread the load. I just wanted to ask you if it's fine or I need to remove it.

I mean, you can use anything I create with credit, but I don't really see the point. This is supposed to be one system for the whole Scratch Wiki. If enough people like the idea, hopefully it can be moved to "Scratch Wiki:" space (project space).
bigpuppy talk | contribs 18:39, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

(Also, I got the idea from Wikipedia anyway.)
bigpuppy talk | contribs 18:42, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Yeah, it might get a little confusing if there's two of them. Plus, we don't really have much of a "load" right now.

Profile picture

Bigpuppy: How do I choose a picture for my profile?

                           Thanks so much,

Hello, Dude613. Do you mean how do you upload a picture to the Scratch Wiki, or how do you set your profile picture on Scratch? Your current signature fetches your Scratch profile picture.
