Welcome to the Scratch Wiki, Gdxfor!


The Scratch Wiki is a thriving community with 1,500 articles, 4,232 files, 355,313 edits, and 3,952 awesome users who have helped make the wiki great! It has existed since 6th December 2008 (about 17 years ago!) and has expanded a lot since then, with about 39 users joining per month. Have fun editing! Here's a list of tips to help you edit the wiki:

New Wikian Tips!


Cool tips on how to edit
  1. To edit, click the pencil icon at the top of the page next to your username. Then, click edit. If you don't see the button it may be because the page is protected for certain users.
  2. After you are in the editor, check out the cheatsheet for editing tips.
  3. You can also check out the help pages for more detailed information on editing.
  4. You can test editing features out in the community sandbox (it will get cleared every few hours), or you can make your own sandbox here.
  5. Before making a page, make sure it does not already exist. You can do this by using the search bar located at the top of the page.
  6. If the page you wanted to make is already created, you can create a redirect page! For more info on redirect pages, see this.
  7. To make a page, go here, or type the page name you want in the search bar and then press the link that says "create this page by editing this!"
  8. For information on magic words, check out the MediaWiki Documentatation.


Cool tips for using templates
  1. A list of templates can be found here
  2. To use a template, put it in curly brackets ({{}})
  3. To create a template for yourself, make a subpage of your userpage, like 'User:USERNAME/PAGENAME'.
  4. To use a template you have created, put the name in curly brackets, like {{User:USERNAME/PAGENAME}}
  5. To have a template's code come on a page when you save it, put 'SUBST:' before the template name, like {{SUBST:User:USERNAME/PAGENAME}}

Example of SUBST

Code Entered Result on preveiw Code result after saving
{{User:Vdiu/Signature}}
SpiderLogo.png Vdiu | Talk | Contributions | Scratch Profile 		{{User:Vdiu/Signature}}
{{SUBST:User:Vdiu/Signature}}
SpiderLogo.png Vdiu | Talk | Contributions | Scratch Profile 		content of signature


Cool tips for finding pages to edit
  1. Use random page
  2. Check out articles to expand
  3. Check out article stubs
  4. Look at edits on recent changes and see what you can do to improve it even more.
  5. Look at S:CPND for discussions to take part in


Cool tips for posting on talk pages
  1. To post on someone's talk page, simply press the pencil icon and then press "New Topic". Type in the subject and message.
  2. Then, make sure you sign your post with 4 tildes (~~~~)
  3. When replying to a talk page post, edit the section that has the message and then indent your post with a colon (:). If someone already replied, use one more colon then they used. (See example conversation below)

Make edit summaries more interesting

All I see in recent changes is (fr interwiki) everywhere. Spice it up a little, with some variation like (french interwiki) or some interesting puns like (42nd french street) or even nonsense like (ikiwretni rf).

Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 21:20, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
@Co0lcr34t10ns, Gdxfor Actually, it's better not to. Edit summaries ought to be related to the changes made, which means that if you corrected a typo, you should type (Fixed a typo). Remember the guideline S:PRO! :)

So uh... Remember to use {{@|<user>}} to let me know you've responded without having to spy the recent chages. Ty!

Compressed image notice

When uploading File:25Feb04_Graphic_Effects.png, the file size was kinda big, and could've been compressed if you used a compression page like TinyPNG or ShortPixel.
Don't worry, I've done it for you. But please remember to compress files before uploading them.
Thanks, @Gdxfor

I am working on the How_to_Get_Ideas_for_Art page, and I was wondering if you were willing or able to collaborate on the page. I need some help with some of the sections.

New edit on Scratch Forums Show and Tell

Hello Gdxfor, Recently you changed the article for Show and Tell, and I know it was a very minor edit but I felt like it was repetitive to say "forum is a forum on the Scratch Forums". You also mentioned that it should be consistent across other articles, but I think it should be changed if the sentence sounds a bit strange.

But this is only an opinion so I wouldn't be asking for reverting or anything.

Thanks!
Pizza0430 (talk | contribs) 03:20, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

@Pizza0430 I do agree it sounds weird reading it out loud, but it’s what I thought was best accuracy wise; saying that it’s on “Scratch” was, in my opinion, a little too broad and not specific enough.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 21:48, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

wait so what do we do for situations like this

Maybe this is fine (though I think a lot of the value pages could just be on the reporter block page, but that might be a separate thing), but I feel like people would be looking for the block if they searched "answer"..
Medians (talk | contribs) 03:32, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

The community discussion didn't specifically mention what to do when there are conflicts like these, so I've just left them alone for now.

Page #1500

In creating https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Hidden_Blocks/Internal_Dropdown_Reporters/#, you made page #1500! Congrats!
Create-Scratch101 (talk | contribs) 17:23, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

@Create-Scratch101 Thanks ig, although I'm pretty sure this is at least the 4th time that a 1500th page was made because Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal/Archive 118#Block article titles has (seemingly) unnecessary disambiguators required for pages to be made and then deleted.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 19:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
@Create-Scratch101 Now, there are only 1493 articles after several pages about Scratch Modifications have been deleted.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 13:07, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
It’s pretty crazy how often it’s reached!
Create-Scratch101 (talk | contribs) 17:38, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

Something.

So, I saw, that you reverted my edit. You say "this isn't a 2.0 article" while look down, there is a "Scratch 2.0" there.
Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contribs) 21:25, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

@Scratchtheguy1 The 2.0 category was probably a mistake, as the article doesn't really make sense if it was only talking about 2.0 features.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 22:36, 28 March 2025 (UTC)

Duplicate Images

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/w/index.php?title=Obsolete_Blocks&oldid=351587 There are two undefined hat blocks, consider only keeping one of them.

(And yes, I didn't edit the page because it's your decision to make the choice.)
PartyPizza205 (talk | contribs) 21:35, 31 March 2025 (UTC)

Loud? block is still present in 3.0

When the article says that Loud? is an obsolete feature, this is not true because it still is present in Scratch 3.0 and the block still works.

Even versions of the article with the Obsolete Feature template mentions "A project which is imported into Scratch 3.0 with this Stage Monitor will still function correctly, but will cause the Stage Monitor to become green (a color usually reserved for Extension blocks) rather than light blue."
PartyPizza205 (talk | contribs) 18:23, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

@PartyPizza205 Yes, I am well aware of this. In fact, I'm the one who added the Stage Monitor sentence to the article. I should have clarified by what I meant by that, and its that (ignoring user-generated projects) the Loud? block is inaccessible unless you use an outdated version of Scratch (modifying the project.json file is against the ToS). I've not yet made up my mind as to whether or not we should count this as an "obsolete feature", since it's pretty clear that the ST doesn't want the block to be used in new projects.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 19:10, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
@Gdxfor BUT! While (), For Each () in (), and the Counter blocks are not considered "obsolete features" and they are hidden blocks.
PartyPizza205 (talk | contribs) 20:42, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
@PartyPizza205 They're not considered obsolete features because they've never been available in any version of Scratch.
Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 20:57, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for changing my edit!

Didn't know abt the confused tenplate

How can I actually compress images?

I used TinyPNG, it just resized the image, how did you compress your image?
Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contribs) 13:58, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

Well, that's wrong.

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/w/index.php?title=Studio&oldid=355660

When you wrote, "Accounts without the Scratcher status cannot create studios," that's wrong, as you are also referring to ST Members, and it wouldn't make sense if they couldn't create studios because they have more capibilities than new and normal Scratchers. I get what you mean though, because New Scratchers cannot create studios.

To fix this, I basically reworded it to say: "New Scratchers cannot create studios."
PartyPizza205 (talk | contribs) 18:00, 20 June 2025 (UTC)

@PartyPizza205 I'm not the one who wrote that, that was already there before I touched it.
