== Got a message from the bot for a 9kb file ==

On August 18th, I got a message from the bot saying that it had compressed 2 files I uploaded: One was 4kb and the other was 9kb. Why did it have to compress such small files?
{{User:Kccuber/Signature}} 14:22, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
:I'm not ken but I believe as long the bot can compress more than 10% of the file and it doesn't have any form of "compress" in the edit summary, it will compress it.{{User:TheTrillion/Signature}} 22:10, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
::^ They're right. Make sure to only include "compressed" in the edit summary if you have actually compressed the image, though.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 22:01, 19 September 2021 (UTC)

== When a Bureaucrat leaves the Wiki, do they give up their roles to another user? ==

<scratchsig>CodeLearnerSai</scratchsig> 21:22, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
:Not kenny2scratch, but no, roles are not transferred to other users. Generally when users with elevated permissions (EWs, admins, etc.) leave they retain their permissions. If the rest of the Wiki administration did decide to revoke those permissions for any reason, they would not be transferred to any other user.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 21:44, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
::Do we have elections then? <scratchsig>CodeLearnerSai</scratchsig> 02:40, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
:::I don't think so.<br/>And Bureaucrat is ''appointed'', not ''elected''.{{User:Dhuls/Signature}} 03:04, 16 November 2021 (UTC)
::::Elections are held when we (the existing EW+) determine they are needed, which does not necessarily (and often does not) coincide with anyone leaving. However, elections are only to elect new EWs; admins and bureaucrats are appointed and those appointments sometimes coincide with elections but sometimes don't, and the appointees are usually existing EWs (for admins) and admins (for bureaucrats). Unlike elections for EW, there is no self-nomination process for appointments to admin or bureaucrat, the decision is made solely by the existing administration.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 03:13, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

== Compressing picture files ==

I keep being told to use tinypng to compress pictures before uploading, so I tried it, and tinypng gives me a zip file, which the uploader refuses to upload.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks! (You might want to make the place on the upload page that mentions tinypng clearer, too; I can't be the only confused editor.) <scratchsig>Bharvey</scratchsig> 07:40, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
:Extract it then upload it. <br/>{{User:LokiBlaster/Signature}} 14:14, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
:Assuming you're compressing multiple files, you need to extract the images from the zip and upload them individually.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 17:46, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
::Got it, thanks! <scratchsig>Bharvey</scratchsig> 18:54, 15 December 2021 (UTC)

== Bot mistaken about my files ==

So, when I try to upload an image that is 6kb, it keeps saying that "You must enter a comment when uploading a new version of a file or editing a file page. You must also include a category when uploading new files." Either I don't understand that (I probably don't lol), and if a comment is the same thing as adding a summary for an image, then I already did that but it still refuses to let me upload. Is this normal (doubt it) or is there something up?
<scratchsig>Superseed16</scratchsig> 00:35, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
:You forge to add a category. To add a category, put [[:Category:CategoryName]] in the summary. Valid categories for images are any subcategory of [[:Category:Images]].{{User:Dhuls/Signature}} 00:44, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
::I looked at the history entry, and you indeed forgot a category. You need to include one like this: <code><nowiki>[[Category:CATEGORY NAME]]</nowiki></code>. If the file is for use in your userpage, use [[:Category:Users' Images|Users' Images]], otherwise look at [[Special:CategoryTree]] to find the category you need.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 03:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
Alright, thanks guys! That helped a lot. :) <scratchsig>Superseed16</scratchsig> 00:25, 24 December 2021 (UTC)

== TemplatesFTW is removing redirects ==

Recently, I created some redirects, but TemplatesFTW added a space after the # to "fix a style guideline". I think this is happening because "redirect" wasn't capitalized on the redirects. Can you fix it? {{User:CrazyBoy826/sig}} 17:36, 29 December 2021 (UTC)
:I'll add a new style guideline requiring capitalized redirects. Thanks for letting me know.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 00:08, 30 December 2021 (UTC)

== A little offtopic help ==

So, you created TemplatesFTW which is a pywikibot on discord, I'm trying to create my own bot also with pywikibot but I can't get it to function on scratch wiki, it only seems to work on wikipedia. In the select wiki interface it only shows up official wikimedia wikis (wikipedia, mediawiki, commons, wikidata, wikivoyage, etc). Could you give me some guide on how to do it?

Sorry for being offtopic. <scratchsig>RobloxianMinecraft</scratchsig> 05:07, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
:TemplatesFTW is a confusing name, so let me break it down:
:* The bot named TemplatesFTW on the Scratch Wiki is not written with pywikibot, it uses my own library named mw-api-client. You can find the source code of my bot [https://github.com/Kenny2github/deathly_hallows here], but note that it's a really poor-quality piece of code and is really only readable by me. Same goes for mw-api-client - please do not actually use that library if you want something that is up-to-date and not terribly written. mw-api-client was made for MW 1.28, and we are currently on 1.35.
:* The bot named TemplatesFTW on Discord provides some commands related to Scratch and the Wiki. It does ''not'' make edits, and its source code is private.
:To answer your actual question, first you need to remember that the Scratch Wiki requires an account for editing. If you plan to make bot edits, you need to first [[S:BOTREQS|request a bot account]] and have your bot approved before you even start coding.
:If your bot is approved, then check out the [[mw:Manual:Pywikibot/Third-party Wiki Quick Start|pywikibot 3rd-party wiki quick start]]. You should be able to customize your bot from there.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 18:31, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

== A Help with About Page of English test Scratch wiki located in scratch wiki home ==

https://test.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Eng:Test_Scratch_Wiki_Home
Please check the problem with this page<scratchsig>Purvitekriwal</scratchsig> 11:45, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
:@Purvitekrival: it's intentional, because that page is reserved as a boilerplate (as does most of the pages in Eng: namespace).{{User:Ahmetlii/sig}} 13:26, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
::Ok, But I wanted to translate to Hindi so how to do that and what is a boilerplate? <scratchsig>Purvitekriwal</scratchsig> 02:53, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
:::I meant that it's merely a template to fill out, by saying "boilerplate". BTW, it's been already [[tw:Hin:Test Scratch Wiki Home|created]], and it's not something you have to be very concerned about as it's just for organizing the same language editors under a page with helpful links. You need to translate articles to Hindi as the primary goal (and then help pages or the pages related to how the wiki work, would be cool if you could also write some new pages that's not existing in the English version yet), and you can do that by translating pages in the wiki. (for example, by translating [[Scratch]] if not already translated){{User:Ahmetlii/sig}} 20:10, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

== Is your Consciousness page outdated? ==

I do not know if it is abandoned or not or your sleeping patterns change every single moment, but it was last edited in 2019 and since then, you are now in Canada. {{User:Jammum/Signature}} 15:58, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
:It's hopefully at least a little more up to date now. Thanks for pointing it out.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 16:09, 28 January 2022 (UTC)

== Edit reference ==
Sorry I am completely not sure about the talk pages so I am definitely not sure if I should post these here, but the wiki project posting is just a "referencing" to it. The project is for demonstrating the note, and I will not cause ANY edit wars on the page, so you can still add anything to it - I won't be undoing your revision at this point. I'm not sure about how talk pages work, I'll read the article soon, but not now. <scratchsig>Pizza0430</scratchsig> 09:54, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
:I don't have any problem with the contents of your edit - but in your edit summary, you said "please DO NOT UNDO THIS REVISION". There are a few problems with that:
:* On a more general level, typing in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS on the internet indicates you are shouting. This, combined with the fact that you are bluntly telling people what to do, without the authority to expect obedience, makes the edit summary impolite at best and disrespectful at worst; which is a violation of Scratch [[Community Guidelines]].
:* On a more specific level, [[S:YOURS|the Wiki is not yours]], and anyone is allowed to undo anyone's edit (except undoing someone else's undo is only allowed after discussion, per [[S:BRD]]).
:Beyond this, jvvg's message and my message to you were because you showed a pattern of anti-BRD behavior. In case this was due to ignorance of the rules, I'd like to ask you to read through the [[:Category:Scratch Wiki Editing Guidelines|Wiki guidelines]] before continuing to edit. Thank you!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:10, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

Ok then. <scratchsig>Pizza0430</scratchsig> 13:15, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

== About Wiki Bans ==

Hello! I've got a question about wiki bans. I'd encountered a user who was banned on Scratch, but not on the wiki, and I asked a user if that kind of user should be banned on the wiki. He said no, ''because Scratch bans are not related to wiki bans''. He linked me to a wiki article for more info.

On that article, I found this:
[[File:Wiki Block.png|frameless|center]]

{{quote|If you are blocked on the Scratch Website, you cannot request to be unblocked on the Wiki until you are unblocked on the Scratch Website.}}

I wonder why that would be the case, since Scratch bans aren't related to wiki bans. I asked the user about it, and he said it was likely outdated. He came back a few days later, saying it's still a rule, but he couldn't explain ''why'' it's a rule. Could you explain? <scratchsig>Super_Scratch_Bros20</scratchsig> 00:36, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
:Generally, if someone is blocked on Scratch then we take that as a good sign that it's not a good idea to unblock them here, because it indicates their behavior is pervasive and likely to continue here if we unblock them, thus making it harder to justify unblocking them if they haven't succeeded in a mainsite appeal. Additionally, while it's not common, we sometimes block people here ''because'' they're blocked on Scratch and have carried their drama here, which is an obvious reason to not allow a Wiki unblock until they've been unblocked on Scratch.
:A lot of rules regarding blocks on the Wiki are unwritten and just general practice by incumbent bureaucrats. What I've said above is unlikely to change, but it may if there is reason for such change in the future.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 16:30, 22 March 2022 (UTC)

:Just FYI, the Test-Scratch-Wiki uses [[wikipedia:ISO 639-3|ISO 639-3]] codes while assigning a namespace for a language. The only exceptions to this rule are <code><s>twi:</s></code> <code>tw:</code> code prefix ''(in ISO 639-2 format only)'' used for the Test Wiki ''mainspace'' while interwiki-linking from other wikis, and the former namespace naming practice based on [[wikipedia:ISO 639-2|ISO 639-2]]. However, ''the ISO 639-2 interwiki code of Test Wiki, <code>tw</code>, is reserved for'' [[wikipedia:Twi|Twi]], ''which'' is actually a real language (but in Scratch Wiki it's specifically reserved for the Test Wiki); and all pages and namespaces have been moved into ISO 639-3 codes since this switch (noteworthy, they are still valid as [[Scratch Wiki:Interwiki|interwiki]] link prefixes, but redirects to 3-letter, newer designations).{{User:Ahmetlii/sig}} 22:02, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

:Editing other people's talk page messages is a violation of userspace unless there are clear formatting errors that interfere with the topic (which there weren't - outdents aren't even suggested until six indent levels).

:::According to [[Help:Welcome/4#Plain_Indentations|the Welcome tutorial]], it's "6 or 7". Realistically it's just whenever it feels like too many.

== Your Userpage ==

Hello Kenny2scratch!
I saw on your userpage you were talking a lot about Dis-cord I don't think that Dis-cord is allowed, because according to the "be safe" rule on the community guidlines it says 

"For safety reasons, don't give out any information that could be used for private communication"
Just wanted to let you know....{{User:SpaghettiAG852097-/signature}} 16:24, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
:You are correct, it’s not allowed. However I don’t think admins have to follow those rules.{{User:han614698/signature}} 17:12, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
::Just because they are admins doesnt mean they can break the guidlines.{{User:SpaghettiAG852097-/signature}} 17:19, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
:::Yes, the rule is ''don't give out any information that could be used for private communication''. I did not give out my Discord contact information - I only mention some things I've created that involve it, which in turn do not include contact information.
:::The Scratch Team pre-emptively remove all references to Discord because they're terrified of someone sharing contact information and subsequently something untoward happening; and because they do not have the resources to more closely police the boundary between mentioning it and actually sharing info.
:::We have a smaller userbase by virtue of our account request system and can more discretely enforce the difference.
:::My userpage does not violate rules - however if I had said "my username is notarealusername#0000" or something then that would be "giv[ing] out ... information that could be used for private communication".

== How do I make a bot account? ==

I want a bot account that compresses images. Could you help me with that please? Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry if I'm editing like crazy on this page. I was trying to sign my username, but it got mixed up for no reason.

:You can take a look at the (very shoddy) source code for [[B:TFTW|my own bot]] that compresses images [https://github.com/Kenny2github/deathly_hallows here]. I use the [https://tinypng.com TinyPNG] API for image compression and [https://github.com/Kenny2github/mw-api-client my own MediaWiki API client library] (equally shoddy, not meaningfully updated since MW 1.25) for interacting with the Wiki. You may wish to refer to the [[mw:API:Main page|MediaWiki action API documentation]].
:Generally, creating new bots on this wiki requires going through the [[S:BOTREQS|bot request process]]. We don't approve bots that duplicate other bots' functionality or do tasks easily done by humans.
:But if you're intending to make a similar bot for another wiki you contribute to, feel free to refer to the resources I linked above.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 02:16, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

== Questions about the Test Wiki and the new Telugu Test Wiki ==

Thank you very much for guiding me through the 
process of translating pages! I also have a few
questions, too.
# Can you please show me a sample page translated to Telugu?
# Could I organize a group of people to help translate?
<scratchsig>Scratch_hellopizza</scratchsig> 17:37, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
:Hi!
:# I do not know Telugu, so I do not have a sample page in Telugu for you. You can take a look at other languages' efforts, such as [[tr:Test Scratch Wiki Home|Turkish]].
:# You absolutely can and should organize a group of people to help translate. You will need to direct them to [[tw:Special:RequestAccount|request an account]] and instruct them on how to fill out the form, so that I can smoothly accept their requests.
:Glad to see your enthusiasm!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 18:26, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

== Page in Scratch Test Wiki needs updating ==

[[tw:Eng:Blocks|Blocks]] in the Test Wiki has not been updated for Scratch 3.0. Because of that problem, I am not able to create [[tw:Tel:బ్లాక్స్|Tel:బ్లాక్స్]] for Scratch 3.0 Blocks. What do you suggest me to do?
:You can directly use the [[Blocks|English wiki page]] instead. Make sure to change links to <nowiki>Tel:</nowiki> pages (and templates to Tel/ templates, etc) as needed.
:The Eng: namespace in the Test wiki has been in need of updating for a while; I started working on a bot to continuously update them back in 2018, but I never had the time to finish it.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 01:53, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

== Error code: Prevent uploading huge files. ==

Hello. I compressed a image of Scratch Teams youtubr chanel once it said to compress. Now it says ''Prevent uploading huge files.''. Could you fix it? ''Prevent uploading huge files.''

{{Thank you}},
{{user:MyScratchedAccount/siggy}} 20:48, 12 May 2023 (EDT)
:Hi, please sign your posts with four tildas (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
:The "huge files" blocker has to do with both file size and resolution. Looking at the logs, the image you were trying to upload was 2160×1422, which is much larger than the maximum 1920×1080 that we allow. Please reduce the resolution of your image.
:I also noticed that you were trying to upload it under the name "UTube.jpeg". Please use more descriptive filenames, such as "Scratch Team YouTube Channel.jpg". Thanks.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 19:20, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

== Jealous ==

I'm so jealous of you professional wikian's profiles and signatures and whatnot... They have such fancy fonts and colors and all that, how do you even make all that?!?!<scratchsig>7salad3salad</scratchsig> 13:49, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
:I'm not sure what to say... it requires knowledge of CSS styling in HTML <code>style=""</code> attributes and how the inheritance of such plays out. Other than that it's just a matter of personal preference and design vision.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 14:14, 2 June 2023 (UTC)
