== Welcome to the Wiki (added header)==

{{Welcome}}
<scratchsig>Turkey3</scratchsig> 07:20, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

== Talk page ==

The purpose of the talk page is so other Wikians can contact you about something (as I am doing right now). So it's best not to wipe it clean or erase things other people post (when it gets long it is archived). If you want to play around with code and stuff, create a page called User:Kenny2scratch/Sandbox and you can do whatever you want in there. If you want to write about yourself, just edit your userpage, and you can answer questions about yourself there. Thanks!<scratchsig>Turkey3</scratchsig> 16:40, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:OK, I guess. Thanks for letting me know! <scratchsig>Kenny2scratch</scratchsig> 03:58, 27 January 2017 (UTC)

== WM edits ==

You don't have to archive bot edits. You can delete them once you receive them.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 03:47, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
:Really? I can straight-up delete them? Even so, I want to archive them to keep a list of my mistakes for myself.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 03:49, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
::Yeah, you can delete them. WM uses the page history as a log.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 04:11, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

== Hello ==

I know that I am not an Admin or anything, but do you mind trying to have your conversations about users on their Scratch Profile? It is adding a lot to the Recent Changes.{{User:Customhacker/sig}} 20:20, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
:A simple solution is to select (Main) in the namespace selection when viewing recent changes. I do this all the time since I see a lot of talk page editing (not just my edits).{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:17, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

== Je parle allemand :-) ==

I think I just had one of funny/crazy moments when I wrote this. I speak French and German, so this sentence basically does the one and tells the other. <scratchsig>Frodewin</scratchsig> 20:54, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
:Ah, I see XD. I was just wondering because I didn't see anything saying you spoke French, but I realize that was supposed to be it {{tongue}}{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:35, 24 April 2017 (UTC)

==your welcome message==
...seems to be malformatted. [https://ibb.co/eSeWak] <br/>
{{User:KrIsMa/Sig}} 06:46, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:I know, I made a fix that resizes the text in proportion to the div width on any browser. The message should stay within its container now.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 08:14, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
::That image was taken after you edited the font-size to 1vw. I'm also using chrome - windows edge seems to format it correctly. Please fix it such that it doesn't leave the container box.
::{{User:KrIsMa/Sig}} 17:19, 7 May 2017 (UTC)
:::Oh really? I wonder, then... Maybe I should set it relative to vh. Thanks, in that case.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:17, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks! It's no longer out of the box.
::::{{User:KrIsMa/Sig}} 01:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::Thank goodness! Glad that's done.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 02:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding the message you left on my talk page ==

I had to censor your message so that people in the future won't get curious about what happened, but I have dealt with the issue appropriately and emailed the ST asking them to follow up. Thank you for letting me know about this and please do not hesitate to contact me again if another issue like this occurs.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 19:04, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, sorry, I realize I shouldn't have left the exact website there. You're absolutely welcome. I was outraged when I saw this (especially because of the edit messages the user left {{-}} "fixed typo breaking the whole page" indeed!). Has anyone contacted the user in question?{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:26, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
::The user has been banned indefinitely from the Wiki.{{User:Customhacker/sig}} 00:28, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
:::Yeah I saw.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

== Welcome Thing ==

For me, the welcome thing you created has some text going out of the box. Does it look like that for you? <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 16:21, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
:KrIsMa contacted me about that problem before, I made some tweaks, and they said it was fixed. Could you link me a screenshot and tell me what device you're on?{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:17, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
::I'm using a Windows 7. Here is a picture of it:<br/>[[File:Welcome Glitch.png|700px]] <scratchsig>Ziggy741</scratchsig> 16:48, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
:::Alright, it should be fixed now. Vh was apparently too unreliable. Font size is now in px. Please tell me if it's gone bad again.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:25, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::::also, could I ask you to remove your welcome page from [[:Category:Templates]] as well? many thanks
::::{{User:KrIsMa/Sig}} 03:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::Oh yeah, sure.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 04:04, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::Update: Template is now fully fixed with a table.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 23:08, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

== Passphrase ==

Hi I made some edits on the password section of the wiki and you said it was confusing to read. I was trying to say a good password could be the first letter of each word in a passphrase. Could you please tell me in what part you saw that was confusing too you, and maybe help me out so I don't make a similar mistake again? Thanks <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 16:37, 26 May 2017 (UTC)
:I eventually figured out what you meant after undoing your edit. You apparently didn't know that hitting Enter once after a line will 
''not'' line break. That is, this:

<code>this
this</code>

makes this

this
this

:What you need to do is put an extra line break, like this:

<code>this

this</code>

which makes

this

this

:Go ahead and make your edit again, better this time.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
::Look at the source code to see the difference!{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:18, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
::: Thanks <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 14:32, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
::::No problem!{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 02:20, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

== A Small Question ==

Hey! I was wondering what happens when you create an article. How does the article go into a category (ex. tutorial). Does it automatically appear? or do the editors have to add it. I just wanted to make sure before actually making one! Thanks!
<scratchsig>ScrappyFriend77</scratchsig> 13:28, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
:Hi! When you create an article, you basically add content to a new name. For categories, you need to add it to the appropriate category yourself. You do this by typing <code><nowiki>[[Category:<appropriate category here>]]</nowiki></code> anywhere on the page. For example, if I made a platformer tutorial, I would type <code><nowiki>[[Category:Tutorials]]</nowiki></code>, typically on the bottom of the page but anywhere works. If the page was about a feature of the Scratch website, I would put <code><nowiki>[[Category:Scratch Website]]</nowiki></code> in the page. You can further sort it within the category. If I made a page called "Template:Hello" and categorized it as "Templates", it would appear under the "T" section because of "Template". However, if I wanted to sort it under the "H" section, I could do this: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Templates|Hello]]</nowiki></code>. What comes after the pipe (|) is what you want the page to be sorted as. Hope I helped!{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 06:43, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
::Oh, and to add multiple categories, you simply put all of them individually. If you had a page that is a template about the Scratch website, you could simply put <code><nowiki>[[Category:Templates]][[Category:Scratch Website]]</nowiki></code> to add it to both categories. Adding categories is important; [[User:WikiMonitor|WikiMonitor]] will notify you if you forget to add them to a new page.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 06:46, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

== Your Request Notes ==

Nevermind, I lied. I've been on here too long where mine are no longer stored but I found yours.

<pre>
I would like to improve any pages I can, specifically the "Chatroom" article at https://wiki.scratch.mit.edu/wiki/Chatroom by adding a tutorial for a safe chat. This would really act as a flashlight for Scratchers in the dark about how chatrooms work.
I have actually looked at wikis such as Wikipedia for some time, thinking how they could be improved.
Of course, all my edits/articles will follow the Scratch Wiki Guidelines and the Scratch Community Guidelines.
</pre>{{User:Turkey3/Sig}} 15:26, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
:Ah, thank you very much! I remembered that it ''was'' [[Chatroom]] I wanted to improve, but I forgot what other stuff I wrote. Again, thank you for that!{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 02:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

== Color Blind? ==

Can you drive if you are color blind?
<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 20:54, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
:Yes because I know red is above yellow. A lot of people ask that lol.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:21, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
::good point <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 12:49, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
:::{{e|;)}}{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 12:52, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

==Sidebar==
How do you make your sidebar appear on every page...? On my Sandbox, I made one using your sidebar, but it doesnt appear on every page.{{User:Customhacker/sig}} 23:09, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
:I just included the sidebar in my header. As in, I put <code><nowiki>{{User:Kenny2scratch/Sidebar}}</nowiki></code> in a random place in the header's code.{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 00:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
::FYI the bottom of your sidebar is cut off where it shows your total edits, Ken, at least on my screen. Some info, my resolution is 2560x1440p and I'm on Chrome.{{User:Turkey3/Sig}} 06:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
:::I have that too, I'm on Chrome on an iPad. I'll get around to fixing it someday...{{User:Kenny2scratch/signature}} 06:02, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
::::Fixed. I decreased the font size.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 12:47, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
{{outdent}}Thank you so much for your help! Do you want any credit inputted in the sidebar?{{User:Customhacker/sig}} 20:54, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
:Yes please, to both me and GlassGalaxy for the original idea. Thanks!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 00:34, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
::Oh I was refering to the one I am currently using. I took like a sliver of your code for that one, and then you helped fix it up a bit.{{User:Customhacker/sig}} 01:46, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
:::Credit to me for fixes and the sliver, and to GlassGalaxy for the original idea.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

== Hello! ==
Thanks for the welcome. I've never actually used a talk page before though(only message walls on wikia), so I wasn't sure how to respond. Apologies ^^'<scratchsig>Shatterfrost</scratchsig> 01:31, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

== About the advice you gave on my talk page. ==

HI! Thanks for the advice you gave me on my profile! I really appreciate it. Anyway. Firstly, I would like to talk about my grammar - I'm very sorry about my poor grammar. I'm a lot younger then most wiki contributors and i am  still learning. I applied once for being a wikian and i was rejected. And the second time i tried i was accepted because i did my first application on my computer and my second on my tablet that picks up grammar errors - I hope you understand my case for my grammar, and i am  sorry its so annoying. Secondly. You talked about the signature problem. I learnt that quickly even before you told me, But i thank you for your advice. Next, you talked about :::'s and i also learned that quickly as well, Finally you talked about my talk page changes - I'm sorry about that, I was just inspired by really cool user pages like yours and that's when i went a bit crazy. Thank you for listening. If you have anymore advice please feel free to tell me. Also, I'm sorry this is so late. I was on holiday for quite a while and didn't have wifi. 
<scratchsig>Purplewolves</scratchsig> 09:53, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
:Don't feel bad! I didn't mean to be so harsh. I wanted to make my point clearer. Grammar ''is'' important. I'm glad you've learned how to sign and post properly, too!
:For your talk page, I'm glad you have changed that. Moderation is important.
:As for your late reply, that's perfectly ok. I'm going on vacation in a month or two and I don't really expect to be able to be very active.
:TL, DR: Don't feel bad, I realize I was overly harsh. Thank you for understanding what I wanted, though, and please do try to improve. As for replying late, that's perfectly fine; I'm in no hurry.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 10:22, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
::IMHO bad grammar is not really a problem with being a Wiki editor. Grammar is easy to fix, I think if people can contribute with great ideas and explanation and others can quickly sweep in and clean up the grammar everything will be dandy.{{User:Turkey3/Sig}} 17:39, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
:::It definitely ''is'' important, but I guess I see what you mean... still, grammar is supposed to be a condition of being accepted in the first place. I'll mark this conversation {{done}} anyway.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 00:15, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

== Announcements ==

For future election announcements, please let an EW/admin do it. We may not always announce stuff immediately, but it's better when the announcements come from an official voice.<scratchsig>jvvg</scratchsig> 01:49, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
:Sorry, I was getting overenthusiastic. You can feel free to change my signature to yours.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

== Curator (added header)==
@TheLegend85

My pal wants to be a curator and can't find the link for an application. Can you send me one on @CoderLegend27 because that is him.
{{unsigned|TheLegend85}}
:Your pal wants to be FPC? Take a look [[FPC#Application and Selection|here]]. It should have all the necessary instructions.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:26, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

== Wiki for your school? ==

Geezz man how much time do you have? :P
<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 12:34, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
P.S. Good luck for EW
:I had a lot of time, before I started, now I don't have any time {{e|:P}}. If you want progress updates on setting it up, go [[User:Kenny2scratch/Status/School Wiki|here]]...<br/>For EW, thanks! I really hope I can be elected since I am really the most active on the Wiki.<br/>To sum up the wiki's progress as of now, though, mediawiki is set up, I'm a bureaucrat {{E|:D}} (protecting pages is fun) along with one of my schoolmates who will run the wiki with me, and I'm trying to get the wiki publicly hosted on my school's servers (my IT teacher already likes the idea).{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:07, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

== My Grammar (added header)==
On my profile it said that my grammar was wrong it is because I used grammarly.
From TheLegend85
{{unsigned|TheLegend85}}
:Yes, your grammar is wrong. I suggest you don't rely on Grammarly to help you keep your grammar straight, you should learn grammar yourself and use it.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 05:58, 10 June 2017 (UTC)

== thanks for your welcome message ==

:)

:No problem!{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 00:14, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
::Thank you as well for your welcome message, Ken! Wow, your page is really tricked out O_o As you can probably tell, I don't put nearly as much effort into, or have nearly as much knowledge about, the wiki as you do; I just stop in from time to time. Cheers! <scratchsig>Peppermintpatty5</scratchsig> 14:46, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
:::No problem! (By the way, I had to look a bit for this message {{E|:P}}.) Thank you! I didn't make that page from scratch (geddit?), you know... I slowly made it into what it is now. I hope you can continue to be active on the Wiki, as out of >1000 users <100 are active...{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:07, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
