== What is "chicken scratch"? ==

In the "Random stuff about me" section on your userpage, what is "chicken scratch"? <scratchsig>Jammum</scratchsig> 13:19, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
:It's a substitute alphabet for English... I don't know where it initially came from. But here's a demonstration:
:[[File:Chicken scratch.png|700px]]
:Hope that explains it :P{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:32, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
::oMG! That's so cool! When someone uses the word chicken scratch here, it means they have messy handwriting! :P <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 14:00, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
:::It means the same thing here, too - but "chicken scratch" is also the name of that alphabet :){{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 14:02, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
::::I'm going to memorize the alphabet know! (Because I have nothing else to do :P)<scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 14:05, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
:: Thanks for explaining! :) <scratchsig>Jammum</scratchsig> 14:59, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
:::FYI, by the way, you seem to have missed a guideline shown on my talk page - when referring to me, make sure the name you use matches [https://regex101.com/r/QSyeGl/1 this regex]. (I saw that you called me "Kenny" in two edit summaries. Kenny is especially bad, because it's a triggering memory, but in general make sure the name matches that regex.){{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 03:32, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:::: I thought it matched the regex. Plus, what names match the regex (apart from your main one)? <scratchsig>Jammum</scratchsig> 09:29, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::The following names match the regex:
:::::* Kenny2scratch
:::::* kenny2scratch

:::Off-topicness is okay on user talk pages :)
:::My point in linking you there was, when you're replying you're adding a space after the indent, which goes against that guide. I recommend you put your reply right up against the indent in the future, of course except when doing that would make formatting issues.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 06:25, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

== Bad Word Filter ==

Can you add the Scratch Wiki BWF to the [https://enis.miraheze.org Enis Wiki]. I'll give you bureaucrat permissions.{{User:Whatsfordinner77/Signature}} 02:02, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
:Actually, the Wiki filter is the [https://github.com/LLK/s2forums/blob/master/djangobb_forum/scratchr2_settings.py#L42 forums filter]. If you can't figure out how to apply the filter to your wiki, then I suggest you search around.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 02:56, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
::In the [[Special:AbuseFilter]], it says that you own the filter. It's a MediaWiki wiki, and I'll install AbuseFilter{{User:Whatsfordinner77/Signature}} 04:23, 2 November 2018 (UTC)
:::I know it's a MW wiki... if you can install AbuseFilter, you can use it as well. The link I posted shows the regex that our filter uses to look for bad words.

== A page from the Enis Wiki ==

In a previous discussion, you and Whatsfordinner777 were talking about something about the Enis Wiki. Yesterday, I went on it, and I found a page called "Hmmst", which was written by someone anonymous from Hong Kong (where you live). Did you write that page? <scratchsig>Jammum</scratchsig> 13:33, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:Indeed I did; I was testing the limits of Whatsfordinner77's permissions.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 13:38, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:: If you would like open editing disabled for the Enis Wiki, ask Whatsfordinner77 on his SW talk page if they want to do it or not. <scratchsig>Jammum</scratchsig> 14:10, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:::I'm perfectly aware of how to request for open editing to be disabled, thank you. However, I don't think it's necessary, seeing as it's his wiki and he specifically decided to make it open (he said so in the topic above this one).{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 14:14, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
::::He didn't make it open edit, I did (I created it) but what I am using to host it (https://meta.miraheze.org/) so far I as I know only allows open ended editing. <scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 20:04, 3 November 2018 (UTC)

== How do you change the font in your signature? ==

I want to change the font in my signature, how do I do it? {{User:KJRYoshi07/Signature}} 21:44, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
:I'm not ken but I might be able to help. You should use this code: <nowiki><div style='font-family: "Comic Sans MS or your chosen font here";>Your Siggy here</div></nowiki><scratchsig>Jakel181</scratchsig> 22:23, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
::Not div but span. {{User:Apple502j/siggy}} 03:59, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
:::You can change fonts in general using this:<syntaxhighlight lang="html"><span style="font-family: 'Font Name', fontname, ...">text in the first font in that list that is available</span></syntaxhighlight>You can also use general font categories like "sans-serif" or "monospace" or "serif" as a font name if you want the default font in that category (usually these are used last as a final fallback).{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:37, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
::::I can't understand it and it doesn't work. {{User:KJRYoshi07/Signature}} 09:57, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
:::::Your signature already has a &lt;span&gt; tag around it, so replace the part of your signature that goes <code>color:red;font-size:15px;</code> with <code>color:red;font-size:15px;font-family:FontName, FontName2, FontCategory;</code> (replace FontName with the font you want, FontName2 with a font you think most people will have and that looks the closest to FontName, and FontCategory with either <code>serif</code>, <code>sans-serif</code>, or <code>monospace</code>, whichever applies to your preferred font.){{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 09:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

:It is a category for Comfortaa. {{User:KJRYoshi07/Signature}} 09:35, 9 November 2018 (UTC)
::You've gotten "category" confused with "style". "Comfortaa Regular" means regular as opposed to bold, italic, or a combination of both. Looking at an image of the font, though, it's a sans-serif font. Use "sans-serif" at the end.{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 09:38, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

== Regarding Elections for 2019 ==

Hey Kenny,

You may remember me from the Test-SW, where we collaborated on the Chinese Wiki. I now have a question for you: when are we going to hold sysop and EW elections? Speaking of which, a very '''very''' belated congratulations on bureaucrat! I did help in transferring the site over, but on a much smaller scale.

I would recommend holding elections in either early 2019 or late 2018; December looks ripe to me.

S-zhangcha (<span style="color:green">Online</span>) ([[User_Talk:S-zhangcha | talk]] ) 04:13, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
:Hi, S-zhangcha,
:First off, did you read my talk page guidelines? There's a regex that anything you use to refer to me must match, and "Kenny" does not match it.
:Yes, I remember you from the testwiki.
:For now, there are no plans to hold elections. Elections are not necessarily held at a regular interval; instead, they are held whenever the current admins feel we need more people.
:Bureaucracy was granted because of my work on the transfer, rather than by election, just FYI.
:How did you help in transferring the enwiki? As far as I know, the work was done by Colby (from the ST), myself, and [[:de:User:Akhof]].{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 04:47, 19 November 2018 (UTC)

What are the Elections? Is it for the Chinese? <scratchsig>12944qwerty</scratchsig> 17:47, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
:::Hi, just a few tips before I answer your question:
:::* New topics go in new sections
:::* Indent replies to posts by adding colons (:) at the start of each line of your reply
:::As to the question: elections are a process where the Wiki community chooses a couple of people to gain extra privileges so that they can help the Wiki in a greater capacity. You can see previous elections here: [[Scratch Wiki:Elections]]{{User:Kenny2scratch/sig}} 02:31, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
