== I deleted a redirect you made ==

{{User:Bigpuppy/g|g=Hi there!}} I deleted a redirect you made ([[Terms of use]]), since the Terms of Use and Community Guidelines on Scratch are different (for what the Terms of Use is, see [[Terms of Use]]). The reason I didn't just change the redirect to go to [[Terms of Use]] is that [[Help:Redirects#When not to make redirects|we're not supposed to make redirects that simply change if a letter is uppercase or lowercase from the original page]]. I hope you understand; if you still think it's needed, feel free to re-create the page. Thanks, and thanks for all your amazing contributions to the Scratch Wiki!<br/>{{User:Bigpuppy/Real Signature}} 17:41, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
:Oh sorry. At the time, I didn't know about the terms of use page. <scratchsig>CrazyBoy826</scratchsig> 17:23, 26 June 2018 (UTC)

== Can you please link the archives of your talk page? ==

Some people may want to refer to an old archive of your talk page, but they won't be able to find it. 
You can help people find it by linking it on your main talk page.
P.S I know I'm not an Admin or Bureaucrat XD {{User:KJRYoshi07/Signature}} 07:42, 18 June 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, please do link to your talk page archives on the main talk page. You can take a look at anybody's talk page's source code to see how they do it.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:45, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

== Please stop making unnecessary redirects. ==

Hey. Just gonna ask you to stop making unnecessary, and/or obscure redirects. To be realistic, they are pretty annoying, and will not be used often, if at all, therefore rendering the redirect as unnecessary. Tip: If you don't think people are going to use the redirect often, consider it rendered unnecessary!  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 20:47, 21 June 2018 (UTC)
:Now, I'm focusing more on the content pages instead of redirects. You won't see me make that many redirects anymore. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 16:30, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

== About [[User talk:Blob8108#Scratch Wiki:Block Plugin Bugs|your topic]] on blob's talk ==

Hi! I saw your topic on blob's talk page (linked in title). It's nice that you want to let blob know that what he wrote has problems, but there's a few problems with what you wrote too.

* You're being very rude and borderline insulting when you point out the flaws.
** "In the article you wrote, the language is hard to read, there is no clarity, and the formatting has been broken" - that's very offensive!
** You then proceed to dryly list out problems with the article, half of which are invalid:
*** "At the bottom of each section, there is a space that looks like a talk page" - that's because it's ''supposed'' to be a mini-talk page! That space is there for people to discuss the bug.
*** "In the "::" syntax section, the explaining text just states that the "::" syntax doesn't work and nothing else, and the picture preview doesn't go much further" - that's because that bug was fixed years ago, and nobody updated that section.
*** "In the "If" section, the bug is untrue. You are supposed to use if () then. The "then" was added in Scratch 2.0." - that's because the bug was reported in the 1.4 days!
* Blob's been inactive on here for a very long time. His last edit was in 2016.

Try to be nicer when you're letting people know some of the problems with what they've made! Instead of saying mean things like "your article is hard to read and it's broken and there's six more problems" say something like "your article looks really good! There's just a few problems I'd recommend you fix". Also, look into things more in-depth before you go yelling at people. Half of the flaws you gave were not flaws, and if you had read the article and tried to find out ''why'' they're incorrect before yelling at blob that it's incorrect, you'd have realized that it's just outdated.

So, I have a couple of recommendations for your future behavior:
* Be more polite and, most importantly, ''nice'' when you're telling people about shortcomings.
* Find out as much as you can before telling people what to do - there is almost certainly something that isn't obvious on the surface.
If you can't do that, then the Wiki might not be the best place for you. If you can, then please do! It'll make you be a lot friendlier, and consequently make you seem like a better person to approach for help or advice.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:02, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Hey. Just seeing the history of [[Template:Info]], I noticed no Community Portal discussion about the template. In future, when creating templates, please discuss on the Community Portal first.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 16:22, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

== Notif ==

In your [[Special:diff/200941|most recent edit]], you attempted to edit the interface to the sandbox by replacing a part in the template. Remember that WikiMonitor actually clears the sandbox every four hours, so your edit will be rendered as disregarded.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 16:59, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
:Okay {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 16:51, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

== Remember to give an example when adding a bug to [[Scratch Wiki:Block Plugin Bugs]] ==

In [[Special:Diff/200936|your most recent edit]], you did not include an example in the bug you reported. Please provide an example, so we can see and figure out your bug. Thanks!  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 17:10, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

== Your custom signature ==

After seeing your custom signature, I have a concern. It links to your userspace directory. This is not allowed. You are only allowed to link to your Scratch profile, your userpage, your talk page, your edits and your contributions. Thanks!  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 17:13, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

::Uh I'm unsure.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 17:16, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
:::I don't recall there being any rules about where you can link, beyond the normal userspace linking rules. IMO your sig linking to your userspace directory is fine.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:30, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

== Scratch 1 ==

Hi in one of your edits you redrited scratch 1 to scratch 1.0 but scratch 1 could mean scratch 1.2 scratch 1.3 or scratch 1.4 So I suggest it stays at what it was befor.<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 21:18, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
:I added {{t|redirect}} to [[Scratch 1.0]], so it should be fine now - if people were expecting something else, the redirect template will take them to the disambig page.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:29, 3 July 2018 (UTC)
::OK. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 16:14, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

== Try not to spam ==

Hi, I see you're playing with Wiki formatting! Having fun?

Thing is, you're using a separate edit for every test, when you could just be using the "Show preview" button. You're also [[Special:RecentChanges|clogging up the RC]], a lot. Please use the "Show preview" button instead of submitting edits unless there's some function of MediaWiki you're testing that requries an edit. Thanks!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 17:07, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it's a whitelisted page on WM, so I assume it's acceptable? I'm unsure.  <br/>{{User:Banana439monkey/sig}} 17:13, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
::It's whitelisted because it's a page that tends to get spammed by new users, but it's still better not to spam-edit it, especially if you're not new.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 17:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
:::OK. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 17:15, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
::::It's still better to use the preview as users don't have to go that far back in page history to find previous edits. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 16:41, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

== PLEASE DON'T make several edits in a short amount of time ==

So uh... if you look at [[Special:Diff/204196/204385]], it says "'''13''' intermediate revisions by one user not shown." That's waaaaay too many edits in the same day. Please use the show preview button! If you don't like how it has to load the page again, there's a "live preview" option [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing|here]]. A full 100% of those edits would never have happened if you had used show preview - there would have instead been a single edit combining all of those 13 different ones. Just remember to preview. Thanks.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 05:20, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
:I was switching from  uploading images to fixing the header. Once an image was uploaded, I reloaded another tab and edited there to make sure the header was in line. Also, I already have the live preview option chosen. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 01:49, 27 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi on the CT page you added NOEDITSECTION. I'm just wondering why you did that. Can you explain? Thanks! <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 17:34, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
:You're only supposed to edit the "Compliments" section. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 17:35, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

== Don't do things until you know exactly how they work ==

Hi, I saw you added a bunch of <code><nowiki>__NOEDITSECTION__</nowiki></code>s to [[S:CT]] (the page, not the redirect). It looked like you were trying to disable editing a certain section. However, it seems like you didn't do your research, because that behavior switch disables section editing for the entire page, no matter where it's placed.

In the future, before trying something out on a real page (or even a real wiki) where real damage can be done, I recommend you test things on a [[Special:MyPage/Sandbox|sandbox]] or even on a separate MediaWiki installation. This'll let you know of the risks and side-effects involved before you try it on a real page. If you can, avoid edits altogether until you're sure of the effects - I always run new bot features under "confirm edit" mode before actually using it to spot any potential errors.

Thanks!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 20:35, 3 August 2018 (UTC)

== Changing the title of the Snap! page ==

Hi.

BYOB, the precursor to Snap!, was a Scratch mod, but Snap! itself is a complete rewrite, in Javascript, and shares no code with any version of Scratch.  That's why the title is "programming language" even though the BYOB title was "Scratch mod."

Of course Snap! is heavily influenced by Scratch, and we have adopted some of the new features of Scratch as 2.0 and now 3.0 were released.  Similarly, Scratch has been influenced by Snap!, most notably in the addition of custom blocks in 2.0.  That's why Snap! remains relevant to the Scratch wiki.  But "modification" is wrong.

Thanks.  <scratchsig>Bharvey</scratchsig> 18:44, 6 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi there! I saw you recently moved a few pages. After you move them can you please check what like here which is in the left in the for editors box, as this can lead to dead links and double redirects. Thanks {{User:Asqwde/sig}} 23:06, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

== Discussion moved from userpage ==

Hello. I have been asked to correct the record concerning your comments. More than 90% of the Wiki's visitors have never been on the Wiki before (i.e. are New Users). We are constantly pulling in new traffic from all different sources. If you have any suggestions for how you want to improve traffic feel free to share your thoughts on the community portal. <scratchsig>Makethebrainhappy</scratchsig> 20:30, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
:Is the record how many visitors or how many views? {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 01:56, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
::Moved discussion here from userpage because New Wikians can't edit userpages.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:51, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
:::I get to see much more than those two numbers. I'm allowed to differentiate by pageviews, sessions, users and new users (i.e. someone who has never visited the wiki before). <scratchsig>Makethebrainhappy</scratchsig> 14:10, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
::::(Fixed indenting) That means about 20-60% of the Wiki's pageviews are registered users. I will stay, but I won't be as active due to time constraints. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 02:03, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
:::::How do you know 20-60% is from registered users? a) 20-60% is a very wide range, 講咗等於冇講. b) Do you have access to specific details? I don't think so. Please research the facts before posting them, especially on an international website like this. Tip: in some countries (most notably the UK), libel is illegal. Libel is a published false statement that defames someone or something. Your statement about most traffic coming from logged-in users was false, and since you published it on your userpage it was by definition published, and it was obviously defaming. Moreover, some people ''believed'' your libelous statement and you've caused Wiki activity to generally decrease because of it.
:::::I'm being uncharacteristically harsh here because I want you to fully appreciate the amount of potential damage you have inflicted. I want your word that you will ''fully'' research your facts before posting them.
:::::As a side note, from what I can see, you were operating under the misconception that IWB's "sessions" graph represents the number of views from logged-in users. I don't know if that was the case, but that's just my best guess. If it is the case, let me assure you that the sessions graph (at least in my understanding) represents the number of users "logged in" (i.e. visiting with some frequency, not necessarily actually logged in to the wiki), not the number of views from logged in users. Does that make sense?
:::::But in any case, your word.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 12:22, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
::::::I apologize. I knew that the sessions log was not just user accounts.

:CrazyBoy, thank you for your apology. 講咗等於冇講 is a Cantonese expression that I wanted to use but couldn't translate, so I just used it directly. It literally means "said equals not said", meaning what you said had no meaning.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 07:07, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

== About [[Scratch Wiki:3.0 Articles/Stack Block]] ==

So, let me clarify what I mean by "the blocks are bad". I'm not talking about the colors being wrong. I'm talking about '''the inputs being incorrect and the capitalization being atrocious'''. You CANNOT directly translate page titles into block names! It only works syntactically with scratchblocks because that's a bug. There is NO block that looks like this in any version of Scratch: <sb>Add () to ()</sb>. Only this: <sb>add [] to [ v]</sb>.

I've protected the page temporarily. If you have any edits unrelated to the blocks, leave them here and I'll make them, until the protection expires.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:01, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
:The capitalization was copied from the old page and I was careful to not make any mistakes on the inputs. {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 02:34, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
::The capitalization of the old page is wrong too, in that case. And the inputs had mistakes, no matter how careful you were.
