Fix Scratch Wiki Home

Unresolved (see all...)

Scratch Wiki Home is currently broken on the Vector skin with a wide screen. This can be fixed by replacing the part with the sections with:

{|  margin-top:4px;"
<!-- News, Featured Article, The Scratch Wiki -->
| style="width: 50%; padding:0px; vertical-align:top;"|
{{scratchwikiframe|Scratch News|{{/News}}|94%|auto|left|20px|/News}}
{{scratchwikiframe|Featured Article|{{/Featured Article}}|94%|auto|left|20px|/Featured Article}}
{{scratchwikiframe|The Scratch Wiki|{{/The Scratch Wiki}}|94%|auto|left|20px|/The Scratch Wiki}}
<!-- Contents and Featured Images -->
| style=" padding:0px; vertical-align:top;"|
{{scratchwikiframe|Contents|{{Scratch Wiki:Table of Contents}}|94%|auto|right|20px|Scratch Wiki:Table of Contents}}
{{scratchwikiframe|Featured Images|{{/Featured Images}}|94%|auto|right|20px|/Featured Images}}
|}

The first div at the top (the one with width 945px) will also need to be removed (also remember to remove the closing tag near the bottom). The visual difference is very small (generally unnoticeable). This change will make it easier to add or change sections in the future.

Also, _INDEX_ could be added for SEO (if it helps).

Rename Topic...

So I've Created the April Fools Version of April Fools Day - Suggest-Show-Question-Bugs-Help-Glitch-Tell-Etc (forum), Scratch Wiki:April Fools/April Fools Day - Suggest-Show-Question-Bugs-Help-Glitch-Tell-Etc. However, I have forgotten the "(forum)" at the end... Can anyone help, please?

Hi, this is for requests that only admins can process. You can use the "Rename" option in the pencil menu to rename pages, including April Fools pages. I've renamed it for you anyway, but just know that you can do it yourself in the future.  Done

Transferring to a new account

I used to be active on here, but then went inactive. Recently I have decided to come back to scratch, but on a new account. Is there a way to get a wiki account linked to that account?
-unsigned comment by dogsmakemehappy (talk | contribs)

We only rename accounts when the original Scratch account itself has its username changed (which happens in limited circumstances). We do not rename accounts when someone moves between accounts.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  19:07, 18 April 2023 (UTC)

Would it be permitted for me to continue using this account even if my scratch account is not active?
Dogsmakemehappy (talk | contribs) 19:00, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it is permitted.

Add shortcut template

So I noticed that S:MAIN is a shortcut to Scratch Wiki Home. So it would be great if there was {{shortcut|S:MAIN}} on the main page. File:2tables Banner.png(talk-page | contribs) 00:49, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

In this specific case I don't think we should put the template there since that would break the flow of the page. The front page needs to be as clean as possible.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 02:40, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Is there a chance it can be made clear?

Could you please explain what you mean by that?
jvvg (talk | contribs) 00:50, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

Like, could it be made clear that there is a shortcut to Scratch Wiki Home?
2tables | Talk | Contibutions | Scratch | Edits (692) | April 20, 2023

This is just my personal opinion (not acting in any official capacity), but I don't think it's really important for the average user to know about that compared to other pages that have shortcuts. If you want to discuss this further, please bring this up on the Community Portal, since this is no longer just an admin request but a discussion of a content change.

 Done - also there isn't any reason to mark this as urgent, there are few enough requests here that the main limiting factor is how often we check this page (and I get a notification whenever it's edited anyway).

Add S:BAC to Shortcut template

Resolved (since 22:07, 23 May 2023 (UTC))

Along with S:CONTRIB and S:JOIN, S:BAC is also a shortcut to Scratch Wiki:Become a contributor. However, it has not been listed on the {{shortcut}} template as a parameter. Since I cannot edit the page (because the page is protected to EWplus), I cannot fix this issue. Can anyone in the usergroup Experienced Wikians or above fix this?

2tables Talk | Contibutions | Scratch | Edits (692) 13:46, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

why did you protect it to EWplus
2tables Talk | Contibutions | Scratch | Edits (692) 15:06, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

That is the standard level for protecting archives. If you want something changed we have more EWs than admins so there is a higher chance it will be dealt with quickly, while EWs still can be trusted not to edit archives unnecessarily. Protecting it to Wikian level wouldn't be particularly useful in this case, since the vast majority of active users are Wikians.
