Why can't I upload an image?

I'm trying to upload an image but there is an error saying that "You must enter a comment when uploading a new version of a file or editing a file page. You must also include a category when uploading new files." but there is no image called "Scratch_Extension_Message.png". but I entered the comment AND the categorey so there must be an error. The size is not too big, neither is the length and width so I don't know why.
Marc92020 (talk | contribs) 19:51, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

Were you trying to upload a new file (using the upload page) or just edit the filepage for a file that didn't exist? If you did the former, did you make sure to enter the category in the summary box (and make sure to use proper category syntax, i.e. [[Category:Your Category Here]])?

jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:14, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes I was using the upload page but i found no other version of "Scratch_Extension_Message.png" so i don't know why. There might be but it also said there was no comment even tho there was.

Marc92020 (talk | contribs) 16:01, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

I looked at the log, and the issue is you aren't entering the category properly. You'll notice that my previous comment had square brackets around the category name (like a wikilink), while you just said "Category:Scratch Website Images". This is not a bug, but the software properly detecting that you didn't include a category correctly.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 21:12, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

You should always use "[[]]" when linking inside of the wiki.

About my scrolling page

Hi, so I noticed you deleted my Scrolling Engine page due to their already being something familiar to what I had done. Could I by any chance, add to the article Scrolling (Sprites) (I am still fairly new to this and I dunno how to make attached redirects, sorry). Could I take what I had done for my Scrolling Engine page and add everything I had done to the Scrolling (sprites) page?
StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 18:35, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes, please do add to Scrolling (Sprites). I wasn't indicating that the contents of the article weren't useful, just that we didn't want to have two separate articles for the same thing. You can edit anything you see necessary. If you want, I can also give you a copy of the article you created so you can repurpose the content.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 20:08, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

no it's ok. I remember the things I put in the article I had made. Thank you though. I understood why it was deleted. I was just curious to know if I could add what I put on my article to Scrolling (Sprites) thats all.

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 14:24, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

I added onto scrolling (sprites). I am sorry about creating a similar article and I will be more careful with this in the future, as I did with my AI article. Which btw... I am also sorry that that's not a well-sized page. I am new to this and am not sure how to write good article. Wait, is there a way you could show me how to write a good article?

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 13:42, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

Probably looking at our existing articles is the best way to get a feel for what goes into a good article.

WikiMonitor Alerted Me...

I was making some style edits to my User Talk page to make it look nicer like some others I've seen, but after I clicked save, WikiMonitor charged me for not signing my post, even though I didn't post; it's nothing too major but I just thought I should let you know that it falsely "accused" me (lol).
84375 (talk | contribs) 22:44, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

That is because edits to a talk page without a time-stamp are classified as "unsigned". To prevent this in the future, mark non-message edits on talk pages as minor.

leahcimto talk • contribs • profile 22:51, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Yes mark it as minor. also why are you talking in court language

Lovecodeabc Links: talk (new topic) | contribs (637) | directory 23:03, 6 January 2021 (UTC)

Ah, ok, thank you, Leahcimto. And, Lovecodeabc, is there something wrong with the way that I phrased the above comment?

84375 (talk | contribs) 01:55, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

I think the way you phrased it was fine :)

Ok, I'm just not sure what they mean by "court language," but whatever. Thanks for the help, resolved.

Please remember to sign your posts

Hello, I'm WikiMonitor, a bot that patrols the Recent Changes. This is just a friendly reminder that it appears you forgot to sign your post in revision 270550 of User talk:Jvvg/sandbox. Please fix this by adding four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your post to insert your signature and remember to sign your posts in the future. Signing your posts is important as it allows other Wikians to see who made a post. Thanks!

Note: if you were making an edit to a talk page that wasn't actually a message, in the future you can mark it as minor to avoid a notification.

This message was sent by an automated bot run by jvvg. You can contact him on his talk page with any concerns.

Scratch Wiki:Flawed Article

You can remove the __TOC__ from the new 3.0 flawed article; I only added it so the table of contents wouldn't go before the single-‍= heading on the userspace version, and that heading is not part of the project space version.

Could U help me with a big project?

I am working on a scratch game that runs primarily on Cloud Variables. Ya see, I am not good with Cloud and need BIG help. Is there any way you could work on the project with me? Mainly to assist me with anything cloud related
-unsigned comment by StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs)

Unfortunately I probably am not the best person for that. The only project I have built with cloud variables in several years was the high score in my lottery simulator. You can try posting in the help with scripts forum, and they may be able to help you there.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 16:05, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

could I ask you for help with a cloning error i have been asked to look at for someone?

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 01:40, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Again, Help with Scripts is probably the better place to go for that.

Sharing Accounts

This is one of the many questions I've asked so far, I apologize for the MANY questions, but is Sharing a scratch account bad? Like.... could me and another individual share one account to work on the same project?
StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 19:48, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

The Scratch Team discourages sharing accounts (that article also includes some alternatives to collaborate on a single project). On the Wiki, sharing an account is prohibited entirely.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 23:57, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I can't login

Alright so, when I try to log into my scratch account, I'll type in my info and then click "sign-in". What'll happen is the "Sign In" button will display a loading circle (idk what to actually call it) and then the button will go back to say "Sign in" and the page won't reload with me in my account. It happens when I try to log into my alt as well
StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 01:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)

Unfortunately I can't really help you with that. The only thing I can think of off the top of my head are try using an incognito window/private window/whatever your browser's equivalent is.

pfp issue

I want to change my profile picture to a gif but when I do and go to a studio with a cover thats the same as what I changed my profile picture to or refresh the page, its reverting my profile picture back to the image before the gif.

ok, its not letting me change it at all.

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 15:03, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Your ScratchSig image doesn't always update immediately due to caching. However, if you give it long enough it will update.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 16:05, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Alright, thanks I was just confused because I went to update my profile picture and after every refresh it displayed an old picture and this has never been an issue in the 6 some-odd years i've been on scratch

WikiMonitor alert

WikiMonitor warned me for editing my (own) sandbox to many times. Should I just ignore it?
Joshuabirger (talk | contribs) 15:01, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

You should heed the warning and not make a lot of edits to your sandbox in quick succession. It still clogs up recent changes and you should still use "Show preview".

So, I am using the wiki gallery to try and find my image, it doesn't show up. Does this mean that I have to re-upload the image or what?

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 17:51, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I don't see any images you uploaded. As for your original issue, you need to include a category (with the format [[Category:CATEGORY NAME]]) in the comment. Looking at the log you were trying to upload a user image, so it would go in the category Category:Users' Images.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 19:03, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I had that issue a few times. But seen someone on this talk page with the same issue. So i fixed the issue with the solution you gave to someone else. It had uploaded but then I couldn't use it. Now its not saying I uploaded it

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 19:06, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I'm looking at the log again and it says the summary was blank. I honestly don't know how that can happen, I will need to contact the person who maintains the filter.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 20:25, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

The Summary was small yea, but it said either "My Talk Page Icon" or "XII_RH1N0's Talk Page Icon"

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 20:39, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

No, I mean it said you had no summary at all. I don't know how that can even happen.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 21:11, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Oh. Are the summary and desctiption 2 different things? Because if they are, I didn't see anything about a summary. Or is the summary something only Admins can see 22:49, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 22:50, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

That's the thing. When you first upload a file there isn't a place to add a summary, and the description is supposed to be taken from the summary. I am going to contact kenny2scratch about this (he designed the filter).

jvvg (talk | contribs) 22:52, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 23:38, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

I think the filter is possibly outdated, since it was last modified 2 years ago and we've upgraded since then. It now only checks for a summary on a reupload, not creation. You should be able to upload properly now. Not clear why this hasn't happened before.

Thanks but uh... define "Sub-Page" for me.

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 04:22, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

A sub-page is a page which is given the title of a different page, plus a '/' and then another title. For example, Featured Studios/Currently Featured is a sub-page of Featured Studios (and it needs to be updated with "Poetic Cafe"…).

Mlcreater (talk | contribs) 04:54, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

So then, would my sub-page be called something like.... User:XII_RH1N0/XII_RH1N0 or no

XII_RH1N0 (talk | contribs) 00:04, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ That is an example of a subpage, though for a signature you'd want something like User:XII_RH1N0/Sig or similar.

Joshuabirger (talk | contribs) 23:46, 27 January 2021 (UTC)

In the end, talk page messages are just text and there isn't an easy way to attribute each individual message to the person who posted it, which is why we have signatures and why the username is a parameter to the signature.

Joshuabirger (talk | contribs) 21:31, 28 January 2021 (UTC)

If someone types in "April Fool", they will get one of the other redirects I linked. Meanwhile having a lot of redundant redirects does cause us to have a whole bunch of filler that can drown out other content.

Hey!

The Email associated with my alt scratch account (StormMaker2395ALT) got an email talking about the upcoming scratch blocks. Then I got a link attached to that Email for Scratch labs. I am actually excited that the devs are thinking of adding the Text extension. Anyways, because of this, I decided to return to scratch until the release of those blocks (if they get added) for now, I am challenging myself to try and remake those blocks :). Also, how are you doing? I am doing good. I have begun to work on extremely small JavaScript programs!

Okay, Thanks. That explains why it took 24 hours to alert me.

Curious

How do I make it so that certain other people can edit my User page? I want to make it so that way User:XII_RH1N0 can edit my page for me when he is online and I am not
StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 20:17, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Add {{open userpage}} to the top of the page.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 20:25, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Is that it? won't everybody be able to edit my user page at that point Also, did u see my new article?

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 22:08, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

Currently the only technical restrictions for userpage editing are that New Wikians cannot edit others' userpages except those with that template. However, you can set rules that others are required to follow (and are allowed to revert any edits that do not follow those rules).

jvvg (talk | contribs) 00:40, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok. Also, I tried putting {{open userpage}} at the top of my user page. All it did was add it at the top

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 00:43, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Yes, that's what the template does. However, the userspace filter won't block New Wikians from editing your page if that template is present.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 02:21, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

Ok so uh, I just tried adding {{open userpage}} with the t| included, it gave me a bad word error like I was trying to swear or something

StormMaker2395 (talk | contribs) 04:13, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ Oh you don't want the t| included. That was just to demonstrate how to add it. You should add {{open userpage}} (and if you're viewing the source of this edit, don't use the surrounding tags).

Help with some code

So, as I said, I have began working with things like JavaScript and HTML coding. For now what i've decided to do is practice a bit with discord.js which I am pretty sure is JavaScript considering the fact it has .js at the end of it. Whats supposed to happen is when the code is ran, the bot on discord is supposed to appear online. That's not the case. Idk if you are allowed to help me but if you could that'd be greatly appreciated. I've looked back at the code and cannot seem to understand whats wrong and why the bot won't come online. I've also had other people look at it. But since I know you are capable to bot development, I was wondering if you'd take a look at my code and let me know what my issue is. Here is the link to my code https://repl.it/join/nvdccwah-stormmaker2395

Why did you sandbox Hard Redirect to the Wikipedia page of "Chicago"? Its very confusing why it goes to "Chicago".
Joshuabirger (talk | contribs) 17:48, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

Hey there! So, I've recently started my own Wiki, which I've been pretty interested about after looking more into how MediaWiki runs. Do you have any tips on better managing a wiki? Thanks in advance!

I don't really have any great general-purpose tips, a lot depends specifically on what the Wiki is about.

My page was taken down...

Hello Jvvg! I have recently joined the wiki and went on search for a new page to write, I had begun to write a page which I called Ray-Casters, Ray-Marchers, and Ray-Tracers. This page was supposed to show the differences between these methods of rendering and how they have been implemented into Scratch. This page was taken down supposedly because it had the word "Raycaster" in common with another article which had been written. However, another article which had content related to raycasting had and has been up for a while and has not been removed. I understand that at this point, my page is gone but I would like to ask how I should go about fixing this article so that it will not to be taken down by any supervising users. Let me know if you have any information on what I should do, because this article is one that I have been planning for a while and I think will be very useful to Scratch users who want to get into this sort of thing. Thanks!
Insidious_Scratcher (talk | contribs)

The raeson for deleting your article about raycasters, raymarchers, and raytracers was that we already have a Raycaster article and we shouldn't have two articles about the same thing. We also detail Raytracing as a section in another article. The umbrella topic is Three-Dimensional Projects, so discussion that compares/contrasts the three should probably go there. It may be worth creating a separate article for raytracing and raymarching, but an article that essentially has the same information as is already in Raycaster shouldn't be created so we don't have two articles about raycaster.

Activity

If somebody requested an account, how active do they have to be on Scratch to be accepted (assuming they followed all directions in the request an account page)?
TheTrillion (talk | contribs) 01:17, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Generally as long as they have shared a few projects, that's fine. We really just don't want the case of an account with no projects at all. We don't really do a deep investigation, we just do a cursory look at the profile page.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

Besides some baseline proof of participation on Scratch, we care very little about your activity, as long as it's not malicious and otherwise doesn't violate Community Guidelines. You can log into Scratch for the first time in years just to verify your identity for your Wiki request for all we care. However, we do ultimately notify you that your request has been processed via a profile comment, so you do need to check your comments semi-regularly after submitting your request.

Have Some tips?

I just made it onto the wiki today! I am very new to some of this stuff, and already managed to screw up (e.g. your bot said I did not categorize my wiki page I tried to make :( whatever that means...) So I was wondering If you had tips on making good wiki edits, or even using the awesome features! My freinds and I are really happy that I made it to a wiki editor! Thanks!
Mr-r-man (talk | contribs)

Probably my biggest tip is take a look at some existing articles to get an idea of what sort of stuff belongs on the Wiki and what doesn't. Also look at how they're organized, as we value keeping things organized and standardized as much as possible. In regards to categories, each page (except userpages and talk pages) needs to have a category, as categories are used for grouping content. You could think of categories like folders on your computer - it would be really hard to find stuff if you just put everything on your desktop.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:18, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

I have confirmed the TimMcCool article to have involved the Scratch Team.

CodeLearnerSai (talk | contribs)

Could you please provide a source for this (for example, a profile comment including a link, a forum post, etc.)? Also simply involving the Scratch Team is not by itself enough to warrant an article, the subject needs to be extremely notable in its own right. Since allowing articles about Scratchers is extremely rare, they are decided on a case-by-case basis.

Where does WikiMonitor get the FPC info?

Done
According to this, Wikimonitor updates the FPC list. I would like to know where it gets the data from. There seems to be some confusion because the current FPC (as per the Wiki page), is yoyu55, and they are inactive and it seems like they have never applied. (src)
PUNNAMOODU (talk | contribs) 20:10, 13 April 2021 (UTC)

WikiMonitor gets FPC information from the Scratch API, the same one used when you load the front page in your browser: https://api.scratch.mit.edu/proxy/featured - I just checked the front page, and it does show yoyu55 being the curator, so ultimately if there is any issue, it is not with WikiMonitor.

jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:43, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

I guess you are right. There is an issue, but thats not WM's fault. A Scratch Team member could have got it wrong. Thanks for the clarification!

It was built by Kenny2scratch, apple502j, and smileycreations15. I was not involved in development, so I'm not 100% sure how they developed it, though I do know it used the same idea of comment verification that was originally implemented by me.

I and smileycreations15 (who now goes by Semisol on Scratch) created it over the course of several months. Originally in Python, then reimplemented as a MediaWiki extension. apple502j contributed a couple fixes.
