We recommend that before you create your question, you read these tips to editing on the Scratch Wiki.

  • Sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~) after your post.
  • To do various text formatting, follow the following rules, rather than using any other text-editing methods:
    • Make text bold with '''text'''.
    • Make text italics with ''text''.
    • Make text bold and italics with '''''text'''''.
    • Make a link to a page outside of this wiki with [https://www.example.com link text] or {{plain link|1=https://www.example.com|2=link text}} if you don't want the Link icon.png symbol to appear (remember to use the http(s):// prefix).
    • Make a link to an article on this wiki with [[Page name]] or [[Page name|Link text]].
    • Make a link to a Wikipedia article with [[Wikipedia:Page name]] or [[Wikipedia:Page name|Link text]].
    • Indent a paragraph by putting a colon (:) before it.
    • For more, see the help page on formatting.
  • Put new text under old text.
  • Always remember to be polite and respectful, assume good faith, and be welcoming, while following the Scratch Community Guidelines. If you do not comply with the Scratch Community Guidelines, you risk being blocked from editing the wiki.
  • When creating a new post, mark it as  Unresolved by putting {{unresolved}} at the top. Once the conversation has been resolved, replace it with {{resolved}}.
  • To ping a user (such as inviting them to a discussion or replying to them), use {{@|<username>}}.

The Scratch Mod Wiki

 Unresolved (see all...)

create a wiki about scratch mods. it would be good to document scratch mods which aren't allowed rn. we have modshare so why not modwiki? mods.scratch-wiki.info
AMP's PFP.pngA-MARIO-PLAYER | Talk | Edits(1,105) 21:38, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

@A-MARIO-PLAYER Sure, but how many editors would be invested in such a wiki? There are enough things to keep me busy on the regular Scratch Wiki that I know I wouldn't ever go on a Scratch Mod Wiki.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 22:00, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
@A-MARIO-PLAYER This is a very cool idea, and it would be beneficial to the Scratch modding community. However, I'm not sure it's something that the folks hosting the Scratch Wiki will be able to tackle efficiently along with all the other Scratch Wikis. More moderators might be needed to watch for bad edits on both wikis, the servers might need to be upgraded, etc. I'm not someone who moderates/hosts the wiki, so I don't definitively know how hard it'd be, but that's just my guess. Perhaps you could consider creating an unofficial Scratch Mod Wiki on another site, like Miraheze? (One word of advice: If you do go down that path, please don't use Fandom. As someone who adopted a wiki there and is trying to become independent, it's riddled with ads and, due to its forking policy, will only make things more complicated for you should you choose to move somewhere else.)
Minikiwigeek2 (talk | contribs) 03:44, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
In my opinion, a mod wiki would be scope creep. We already have our hands full maintaining the Wikis for the various languages (I just spent about 15 minutes having to deal with the latest round of 503s/508s), and mods aren't as related to Scratch as most of the rest of the content here. Anyone is welcome to create their own Wiki, but I don't think the Scratch Wiki Team is going to be willing to invest any resources into it, and I also doubt the Scratch Team would link to it in the official capacity they link to this Wiki.

Update Pages for Debug Update

 Unresolved (see all...)

Scratch has recently released a large update adding multiple features to the editor and website. A lot of these features I can't even access because a lot of them are only available for New Scratchers (and I'm not making a new account just for this).

Could we start working on updating the wiki to reflect these new changes? I also created the Debugging Help page as that is a new feature part of this update.
AMP's PFP.pngA-MARIO-PLAYER | Talk | Edits(1,105) 17:46, 16 December 2024 (UTC)

I'll add a mention of Debugging Help to the Scratch 3.0 article. Also, I'm probably just not looking hard enough, but what other changes did they make to the website, exactly? I don't see anything else that's different...?

@A-MARIO-PLAYER Oh okay, thank you! I have browser extensions enabled which modify my navbar, and since I click on the Ideas page about once every year, I wouldn't have noticed a change if I didn't have them on lol

Need help with fixing double redirects

Yes Resolved (since 14:57, 16 January 2025 (UTC))

Yes, I need help with fixing these after large block page moving. The large move caused several double redirects to be made. Fixing them will help with the redirect traffic. (i am about to go to bed so that is why i need help)
Small ninjahanzo pfp.png ninjahanzo ( Talk | Contribs | Scratch ) 07:26, 21 December 2024 (UTC)

I fixed most of it, but the rest of the double redirects are in userspace, so I can't edit them without permission from the user with the content (or an admin). I'll leave them alone for now

More articles have entered the list, so this still isn't resolved.

I've fixed all of the mainspace double redirects, so this is Yes Done.

February Featured Images

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I have awoken from my slumber to update the featured images. It's been over a year since they were last updated—I apologize for the delay. If you have any suggestions for next month's featured images, please leave them below. Please also include an explanation for why you think the image(s) that you suggest should be featured.

What can I suggest?

You can suggest any image(s) on the English Scratch Wiki that have not been featured previously.

How do I tell if an image has already been featured?

It will have the {{featured}} template on it, shown as a star icon in the top right corner of the image page.

Is there a limit to the number of images I can suggest?

No. However, please don't suggest too many... :P
Bigpuppy Logo.png bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 10:01, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

FINALLY, the featured images were updated. Here is my suggestion (will add more):
  • File:Alt-Click.png - this is an obscure feature, and I think more scratchers should know about it.

Remove mentions of the modern TBG forums.

TBG users are currently considering making the TBG forums 13+ (13+ sites are a no-go on Scratch), and there is a suggestion here which suggests to ban mentioning the TBG forums, as a very active user there has a link to a Discord server in their signature. In fact, the ST seems to be implementing this - the link in TIMAC's guidelines was removed after I reported the guidelines to implement this.

Please express your opinions by replying.
AMP's PFP.pngA-MARIO-PLAYER | Talk | Edits(1,105) 22:14, 10 January 2025 (UTC)

@A-MARIO-PLAYER I'm definitely not the most qualified person to talk about this, but based on a quick read on the article, it seems to be a part of Scratch history we should strive to document. While it's not the biggest thing in the world, it would be a shame to remove this part of Scratch history which some people seem to enjoy. If the Scratch Team were to place a policy banning mentions of the TBG forum, we can just simply remove the link to the modern-day version and add a section about the Scratch Team's discontinuation of affiliation.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 02:51, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
@Gdxfor, I am referring to the modern TBG forums. We can keep mentioning the old TBG forums, as they were on Scratch, and as a result were never 13+ and never would be. But the proposed policy would to ban links or mentions of the modern TBGs, which are currently considering separating from the Scratch community.

@Jvvg, Han614698, Minikiwigeek2, Ninjahanzo, you are invited to this discussion. Please leave your thoughts.
AMP's PFP.pngA-MARIO-PLAYER | Talk | Edits(1,105) 11:47, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
@A-MARIO-PLAYER I think we should wait until the Scratch Team says that it wouldn't be allowed to link to them, or they do make the site 13+ before we do anything. Unless at least one of these conditions are met in the future, it would be a No No support for now.
ThisIsTemp1 (talk | contribs) 14:54, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
@A-MARIO-PLAYER I also No Do not support for now. The TBGs haven't officially stated they want to be disassociated from Scratch - they've only run a poll about it to gather people's feedback. Additionally, Scratch and the Wiki have plenty of official links to sites hosting 13+ content. Scratch links to their Twitter account when the website goes down, the Wiki has an entire article listing all of Scratch's social media accounts, and while those aforementioned examples are links to Scratch-owned accounts, cubeupload (an image host that Scratch doesn't own but pushes heavily for Scratchers to use on the forums) has a link to their own Twitter account and Discord server in their footer. I think it'd be a good idea to reassess this suggestion later, if or when the TBGs and/or Scratch explicitly state they're no longer associated, but for now I feel it's a little too soon to take action.
Minikiwigeek2 logo.png minikiwigeek2 (talk, contributions (230), scratch) 15:32, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
@A-MARIO-PLAYER I No Somewhat do not support for now. Scratch and the Wiki are able to link to (13+) social media. There is existing content out of the linked Scratch pages in the media that are 13+. However, we can simply wait until Scratch takes action. By then, I would support, but for now, no support.

Suggestion: Millionified Scratch Wiki

During my Scratchiversary, Millionified versions of articles would replace original versions of articles. Those who don't care could disable the feature, because why not. The feature is meant to celebrate.

Effects everywhere

Blue

The wiki would be mainly blue.

New icon

Look at the right of this page. Do you see a Scratch Cat in the puzzle sphere thingy? The Scratch Cat would be replaced with a Million Cat (a light blue Scratch Cat).

Link effects

When a cursor hovers over a link to my userpage, either of my talkpages, my contributions page, or any post I originally created, blue confetti appears. This could be disabled to reduce lag, but it's not recommended to do this for high performance computers.

Suggestions come to life

A few of my forum suggestions would come to life, such as:

  • The messages icon would be dark green.
  • A "RickrollShield" mode will protect you from links that lead you to a rickroll.

Whoops, I forgot to sign
