Welcome
Please only use the "minor edit" feature if your edit is relatively small. Other than creating your userpage, all other edits you have made were tagged as minor, regardless of their size. Anyways,
Welcome, BrilliantStar114!
I'm A-MARIO-PLAYER and want to welcome you to the Scratch Wiki.
The Scratch Wiki is a wiki that provides information about Scratch, its website, history and phenomena surrounding it. It was released to the public on December 6, 2008 (17 years ago!) and currently has 1,501 pages and 3,966 users.
Before you start editing, read the Welcome tutorial and the wiki FAQ! Here are some useful tips for new Wikians:
|
New Wikian Tips
|
|---|
- Check out the help pages if you haven't yet. They explain a lot of stuff on the wiki.
- Use the sandbox to test out formatting and other stuff. The public sandbox gets cleared automatically every few hours by a bot. If you'd like your own sandbox that won't get cleared automatically, you can create one by going here.
- You reply to others by clicking the pencil icon in the top-right of the page, then clicking "edit" or "edit source" (the difference being that "edit" doesn't require knowledge of wiki markup, while "edit source" does.) After that find the person you'd like to reply to, add the right number of :'s - the first person doesn't add any, the second person adds one, third adds two, fourth adds three, and so on. Then you type what you'd like to say and sign it with ~~~~. You click save page and there you go! Here is an example conversation for you that is fake:

- Hi everyone! There's a mistake in the "Scratch" section.
Example User 1 (talk | contribs)
- Oh...Yeah. One of the images needs to be changed.
Example User 2 (talk | contribs)
 I'll do it now!
Example User 3 (talk | contribs)
 Great!
Example User 1 (talk | contribs)
- Awesome!
Example User 2 (talk | contribs)
- Oh, there's also a spelling mistake in that same section. I'm fixing it now...
Example User 1 (talk | contribs)
- ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ I'm done changing the image!
Example User 3 (talk | contribs)
- Great!
Example User 2 (talk | contribs)
- And here is the code for that example conversation:
{{Resolved|(time)}}
:Hi everyone! There's a mistake in the "Scratch" section.<scratchsig>Example User 1</scratchsig>
::Oh...Yeah. One of the images needs to be changed.<scratchsig>Example User 2</scratchsig>
:::{{doing|I'll do it now!}}<scratchsig>Example User 3</scratchsig>
::::{{cool|Great}}<scratchsig>Example User 1</scratchsig>
:::::{{cool|Awesome}}<scratchsig>Example User 2</scratchsig>
::::::Oh, there's also a spelling mistake in that same section. {{doing|I'm fixing it now...}}<scratchsig>Example User 1</scratchsig>
:{{outdent|:::::}}{{done|I'm done changing the image!}}<scratchsig>Example User 3</scratchsig>
::{{cool|Great}} {{e|:D}}<scratchsig>Example User 2</scratchsig>
- If you have any questions about the wiki or suggestions (or something else relating to the wiki that you want a lot of people to see), you can post in the Community Portal. This is the official main talk page for our wiki. You can also reply to posts there.
- If you're looking for pages to edit, I recommend the random page link. You can find it on the navigation bar (to the left) of the wiki. You can also look in the category "Pages to Improve"; it has multiple sub-categories with pages that need to be changed.
- The box below where it says "summary" when you make an edit is for your edit summary. Put a short description of your edit here.
- Please check "This is a minor edit" if your edit is minor when making an edit — this means things like just changing capitalization, removing a space, or another small edit like that. I have also recently saw some users who mark all edits as minor no matter how big they are - please don't do that.
- If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! There's a list of Experienced Wikians (people that have been elected by the community to help lead it) here. There's a list of active users here. Of course, you can also ask me on my talk page or ask on the Community Portal.
- Good luck, and have fun editing here!

Wait a moment, @A-MARIO-PLAYER do you mean that changing "die" to "dice" in an article isn't a minor edit?
BrilliantStar114 (talk | contribs) 15:05, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- No, that is a minor edit. However, adding information about what cloud data can contain to an FAQ article is not minor and thus should not be tagged as a minor edit. Also, please indent your messages by putting
: at the start of your messages when replying to someone (not when starting a new topic). Again, welcome to the Wiki, and I can't wait to see you making constructive edits!

- @A-MARIO-PLAYER Ok to both things. Thanks! :)

Please compress files you upload
Hello, I'm
TemplatesFTW, a bot that does various maintenance tasks in the background. This is just a friendly reminder that when uploading
File:Vector control point.png, the image size was kinda big, and it could have been smaller if you had compressed it with
TinyPNG. Don't worry - I compressed it for you, but I just want to ask you to compress any files you upload, before uploading them. Thanks!
