Progress.

Welcome to my talk page!

Feel free to leave me a message! It can be for anything - about an edit I made, about a community issue, asking me a question, or even just saying hello.

Please keep these in mind

• If I left a message on your talk page, it does not matter to me whether you respond on your talk page or here.
• Unless you ask me otherwise, if you leave me a message, I will respond here
• The Community Guidelines and Scratch Wiki Guidelines still apply here - please follow them.
• If you leave a disrespectful message, I will remove it without providing a response.
• I am an administrator; therefore I can delete pages, protect pages, restore deleted pages, and edit protected pages
• If I made a mistake (of any kind) or WikiMonitor malfunctioned, please try to post your concerns calmly and provide relevant details.
• Please treat me as you want me to treat you and think about what you post before posting it.
• I will answer questions not related to the Wiki as long as they're not too personal.

How so many messages on talk

How do you have so many archives and have so many messages on your talk as I don't have a lot?

WM's FPC updater script

It appears that nth curator is grammatically incorrect. Take the latest one. Two-hundred-ninety-sixth should not be that. It is incorrect. It should be two-hundred-and-ninety-sixth.
banana439monkey (Talk | Contribs | Scratch | Edits (2,605)) 16:54, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Oh yeah. I just noticed that. That should be fixed

asqwde talk | contribs 12:23, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

No, "two-hundred-ninety-sixth" is grammatically correct. However, I feel like it would be better to simply say 123{{th}} instead of spelling out the number.

Confirmation Code

Hey jvvg, because you accepted my application letter I assume you know the answer to this. Why is my confirmation code not working? Also, how do you talk through a mouse
NYCDOT (talk | contribs)I AM THE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 21:06, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

Talking through the mouse is done with the HTML "title" attribute. So this:

<span title="talking through mouse">text</span>

Makes this:

text

As for the confirmation code, why do you need one? You can't have more than one account on the Wiki.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  10:43, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

I want the confirmation code to work so I can get email notifications for scratch. Where would you put the code for the talking through the mouse? wiki.
NYCDOT (talk | contribs)I AM THE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14:16, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Oh, email notifications... But that doesn't need a confirmation code, you just need to click the link that gets sent to your email. Are you not getting the link? Check your spam folder if that's the case.

How do you add an archive to a talk page?
NYCDOT (talk | contribs) 19:49, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi! You can make a subpage of your talk page named "User talk:NYCDOT/Archive" or "NYCDOT/Archive 1" or something like that. Then, you can copy and paste the contents of your talk page into your new archive. After that, you can delete the messages in your talk page. Alternatively, you could use the move button.

How to create a message from the mouse

I've seen a large magority of users on the wiki that have a message talking out of your mouse-pointer. Could you help me make it? Thank you in advance! :)
PrincessFlowerTV (talk | contribs) 00:23, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

You use the HTML "title" attribute (this question always comes up here every time he archives his talk lol). For example, this:

<span title="Hi">hOII</span>

Makes this:

hOII

The "title" attribute can go on most HTML elements, I think.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  00:42, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

It's funny how everyone associates this with me. I actually got the idea from Scimonster.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 03:48, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

You've said that before, too - but since Scimonster is effectively dead and you're partially the face of the Wiki, people naturally see your talking through mouse before Scimonster's - I suppose if you credited Scimonster in the thing itself more people would ask him, but then again they might still ask you since Scimonster won't respond.

Bot Eorror

you're bot is saying i am not signing stuff. but i am. This was sent by ideapad-320.
-unsigned comment by ideapad-320 (talk | contribs)

I looked at your talk page, and all of the messages it left you are correct. You need to sign your post by leaving your signature (~~~~) at the end. In yours, it looks like you just included your username, but we need your full Wiki signature (the four tildes I mentioned in the previous sentence) so that there's a uniform experience and we know when you posted it. For example:
This is a post is signed properly.~~~~
Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'm 1000% sure you get a lot of these in your talk, but your bot said I didn't sign a edit in my user talk. I've never had problems with your bot, but this time, it made a mistake because I was making edits to my archives section, which Is Not a post on my talk page.
NYCDOT (talk | contribs) 22:18, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know. I'm working on improving the detection for what is/isn't a message, and I added this to the list of things to look out for. Also, in the future, if you mark an edit as minor, WM won't check it for a signature.

Yikes! WM Mistake

I got an incorrect notifacation from WikiMonitor. I did sign my post, even though WM says I did not.

Could you help?
Mrbumppo (talk | contribs) 13:01, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

You actually did not sign your post. WM does not look at the contents of templates. Please sign your posts outside of the template.

In case you're wondering why it doesn't look at the template contents, there are two major reasons:

• It would take extra processing time, and
• You could change the template later to not have your signature, and nobody would notice.

Remember to sign your post on the top level next time. Thanks.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  14:08, 5 May 2018 (UTC)

There actually was a error, but it was a bit more subtle than that. Mrbumppo added the signature in a later edit, but at that time I hadn't implemented checking for it. However, that has been fixed and should no longer be a problem.

Deleted Images

You deleted my image Scratch-online-editor.png, thinking it was a duplicate of another image. Actually, that image was the offline editor, and this is for the online editor. CrazyBoy826 (Talk|Contribs)

They both look the same to me. Both images have "Join Scratch/Sign In" at the top, while the offline editor does not, so it looks like the original image (the one I said yours is a duplicate off) was also from the online editor.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 22:20, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

It is not a duplicate because above the stage in my image, there is a texxt box, while the other one does not because it is offline.
CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs)

There are no text boxes in your image that are not in the other image. The only text box I see in your image is the one for the project title, which is also present in the other one (File:Scratch Layout.png).

Which Way Do You Sign Your Username?

Do you sign your username as four tildes or using scratchsig tags?
CrazyBoy826 (talk | contribs)

Use four tildes, that way it also includes the timestamp. WikiMonitor requires that you include the timestamp for it to be considered a valid signature.

Ambiguation Over Redirect "Upload"

You said that the page Upload was deleted because mainspace pages don't link to special or Scratch Wiki pages.It was deleted, and we eventually agreed. But today, when looking at the Wiki, I discovered that it had been re-created with a redirect to Special:Upload. I added the delete template to it, but the reason of re-creation of the page is still unknown.

A mistake in the FPC list

Hello! Someone told me that there was a mistake in the list of FPCs. The mistake is that an FPC is listed twice. Since we're not supposed to edit some parts of that page (the parts that WikiMonitor edits), I didn't fix the mistake. However, could you please change it? I looked in the history of that page, and it doesn't seem that it's a glitch with WikiMonitor, so that's good.

A problem with WikiMonitor

I got a notification saying "please sign your posts" when I was adding on to a post that I had actually signed in the last revision. This is a little bit of a problem, and I'm wondering if it could be fixed.

Did it have the timestamp?
banana439monkey (Talk | Contribs | Scratch | Edits (2,605)) 18:03, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Yep... It could be because I was adding a new line on to my message.

That's exactly why. If you're adding a new line, you should just add an extra reply instead.

Can I move Help:Blocking users to Scratch Wiki:Blocking/Admin Guide?

kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  09:14, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

The Help namespace is for documenting features about MediaWiki, while the Scratch Wiki namespace is for policies and things specific to this Wiki. Since that page just documents the technical aspects of being blocked, I think it's best where it is.

Transit Systems

I see you are a fan of Transit Systems. So am I! I am in love, repeat, absolute love with the MTA (New York Metro Area). My favorite line is the 7 or the F or the E. What's yours?
NYCDOT [ Talk Page | Contributions | Directory ] 19:29, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

I've only been to NYC a few times (you can see my pictures of the NYC subway here). My favorite line I rode while there was the A train, mostly because it has several long gaps between express stops, and sailing across Manhattan and Brooklyn on an express is really fun. I actually one time did the Subway Challenge, where I rode to and stopped at all 472 stations (it took me 29 hours). I really enjoyed riding BART in San Francisco (pictures), the Los Angeles Metro (pictures), the Cleveland RTA (pictures), and the Charlotte Lynx Blue Line (pictures).
jvvg (talk | contribs) 21:57, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

Nice! How is it possible to do the Subway Challenge? I would die if I had to do that! I don't like the A Train because of the amount of Homeless People that seem to get attracted to that line. I wish to ride on the BART and the LA Metro one day. Your photos are great too! Are you also a professional photographer?
NYCDOT [ Talk Page | Contributions | Directory ] 22:08, 24 June 2018 (UTC)

The way to do the subway challenge is to find a route that visits all 472 stations in the least amount of time possible (it must stop at each station at least once, not just pass through), and then actually get on the train and follow that route. I'm not a professional photographer, unfortunately. I'm just a college student who likes taking pictures and sometimes has too much free time.

Abuse Filter Error

Millie S (talk|961 contribs|directory) 00:52, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

The filter is actually only supposed to act on files. It looks like the expression was not properly grouped, so I added parentheses to fix it. I checked and it no longer will stop the edit you attempted to make. Please let me know if you have any other problems.

Using templates for WM

Hi! I saw that every time WikiMonitor comments on a talk page, it re-creates the three messages over and over again. You could put the three messages as templates instead to save space and time. Can you change WM to just use user subpage templates?
CrazyBoy826 Talk | Contribs | Scratch account 18:40, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

The space savings would be minimal (a few hundred bytes per message), and I don't see how it would save time. However, this would also lead to having extra dependencies, where old messages would depend on current templates, and this would also mean that if I ever decide to change the message, then it will change for everyone who has ever received it.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 00:52, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

I mean new messages will use the template, old ones stay the same. By saving time I mean that more text uploaded will take a longer time to get through. If users want, they can change their bot messages to the template.
CrazyBoy826 Talk | Contribs | Scratch account 01:57, 9 August 2018 (UTC)

Using templates would also mean that the messages would be cache-dependant, and directly posting them avoids that; besides, templates increase the link indexing that needs to be done, so in reality the space savings are near zero.

Questions about some edits

So I uploaded a new version of the header at File:ScratchHeader.PNG but it got all squished and I don't know how to fix it...

Also, do we need the citation needed tag at Navigation_Bar#Scratch_Wiki about the headers?

Jandrewg (talk | contribs) 21:29, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

The header image looks fine to me. Your browser was probably just trying to display it in the size of the old image. Refreshing the page usually takes care of that. For the citation needed tag, that was probably put back before we had an authoritative source saying what the Scratch 3.0 header would be, so the header was basically us guessing that they would use that header for Scratch 3.0. Since it now is the header, I removed that tag since the Scratch website header can be considered common knowledge.

 12944qwerty  Talk  Contribs  Scratch  17:49, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

There's no specific reason, I just haven't. However, as is true with Scratch, GitHub is not a popularity contest, and we shouldn't be focusing on follows.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 19:29, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Agreed, I was just wondering.

Help me Test my Website.

Can you help me test (removed)? I included a chat widget into it. I want to test it.
To get the chat, keep refreshing until a circle in the bottom right appears. Click it, and do a test message. Then let me know here.
Then, we can have a little test chat.

THANKS!

How do I use welcome templates?

Hey, I noticed you place a welcome template on all new users' talk pages. I made one and I know how to paste it (it's Template:Welcome By EIephant Lover, but with two brackets on either end). I just don't know how you have managed to do one every time. Do you have some sort of bot do it for you or do you just notice when a new user comes and paste it there? For the former, is it possible that I could do this and if so how? For the latter, how can you see when a new user comes? Thanks so much :)
EIephant_Lover (talk | contribs) 20:22, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Although I am not jvvg, you have to do it manually. :( But, you can use some tricks. I use a preload. See this link. Or, you can use Ken's welcome.js
 12944qwerty  Talk  Contribs  Scratch  22:33, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

12944qwerty: Okay, thank you :) jvvg: Is it okay to have a template of our own like that, or should it be a part of our userspace?
EIephant_Lover (talk | contribs) 21:27, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Edit: Someone already moved the page for me. Oops :P
EIephant_Lover (talk | contribs) 21:28, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Remember, you can use the show preview before you save so everything is looking how you want it to look like.
 12944qwerty  Talk  Contribs  Scratch  21:42, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

We can see when new users join in the recent changes or by checking the new users log regularly.

images only used on user pages

wikimoniter said that i did not categorize. how do i do it?

If the image is a logo, categorize it as Category:Users' Logos, otherwise at Category:Users' Images.

Welcome Message

hi there, a while ago bigpuppy was trying to teach me how to set a welcome message to automatically go onto a new users talk page, he said something that i cannot remember, i tried what he said and it didnt work, would you mind telling me so i can get it to work?? many thanks,
 JJBullet  Talk  Contribs  Directory 

You can store your welcome message as a template in your userspace (for example, User:JJBullet/Welcome) and then whenever a new user joins, you can just comment {{User:JJBullet/Welcome}}~~~~ to leave your message. However, it is not possible for you to make your message be included automatically on new users' talk pages without use of a bot (and we will not approve any such bots). You can see when new users join by looking at the user creation log though.

Bureaucrats

Hey There, recently i have been thinking about elections, and i was just wondering if you (the Bureaucrats and admins) can perform an election soon as i feel some wikians would benefit from an election many thanks,
 JJBullet  Talk  Contribs  Directory  13:51, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Elections are not held periodically, but rather when the existing admins feel that more administrative help is needed. For now, we are doing fine with the amount of help we have, so there won't be any elections for the immediate future.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  13:57, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

 JJBullet  Talk  Contribs  Directory  14:15, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Same here!

JJbullet, you don't have to add the colons, your signature is fine the way it is. Just put four tildes.

Insanity Error

I know you aren't developing this anymore, but there is an error showing up when I want to run a project I made in your Insanity mod. The block that is showing up red is: (join (num1::variables) [+] (num2::variables)[?]::reporter :: operators)
Could you please try to find out what the issue is and what I'm doing wrong? Thanks! (also why is my timestamp breaking lines)
 Supermonkeycat157  Talk  Contribs  On Scratch 02:47, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Your bot messed up

Hello! I'd just like to let you know that your bot randomly said I didn't sign something, even though I did. I can give you a link, if you need it. Thanks!
 Dominic305  Talk  Contribs  Scratch  12:56, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

im not Jvvg but if a bot messes up dont worry it is a bot in the end of the day,
JJBullet (Talk ★ Contributions ★ 710 edits) 14:30, 11 March 2019 (UTC)

In the future, if you receive an incorrect notification from WikiMonitor, please don't remove it, as I don't want to have to dig through the page history to figure out what you're talking about. Anyway, regarding that specific edit, the div tag you added shouldn't have beeen added to the page, and if you are making an edit to a talk page that is not a message, if you mark it as minor, WikiMonitor will ignore it.

WikiMonitor

I like to use a custom signature that looks like  VFDan  Talk  Contribs  On Scratch . However, WikiMonitor tells me to sign with ~~~~, even though I have a signature. What can I do about this?

 VFDan  Talk  Contribs  On Scratch 

It looks for a timestamp.
banana439monkey (Talk | Contribs | Scratch | Edits (2,605)) 19:52, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Yeah, you need a timestamp. You can set what appears when you enter ~~~~ by going to Preferences and entering {{User:VFDan/Sig}} as your signature (make sure you check the box that says "Treat signature as wikitext").
jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:02, 15 May 2019 (UTC)

WM

Can you explain why I can't edit a lot on one page?
FrenchBread49 (talk | contribs) 03:29, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

Editing the same page multiple times clogs up the recent changes, which has to show one entry per edit. Instead of editing many times, use the "show preview" button! It's right next to the "save changes" button and it shows you what your edit will look like before you save. Once you're happy with how the edit looks, then you can save changes.
kenny2scratch  Talk  Contribs  Directory  05:27, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

I figured that was it, but I wanted to get a legitimate answer. I will be sure to use the "show preview" button for now on.

You don't qualify.
banana439monkey (Talk | Contribs | Scratch | Edits (2,605)) 16:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, but you need 50 mainspace edits to quality, while you currently have 11.

banana & Jvvg Its fine i found out anyway lol
JJBullet (Talk ★ Contributions ★ 710 edits) 10:03, 11 June 2019 (UTC)

Is your bot malfunctioning or is it just me being stupid?

Huh, I have a weird feeling I am editing pages a lot. Like three times every minute. Does WikiBot only alert you if you edit one specific page a lot?
Nambaseking01 (talk | contribs) 18:46, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Yes, WikiMonitor alerts you if you make a lot of edits to one page in a short amount of time (currently defined as over 5 in one hour to one page).
jvvg (talk | contribs) 22:40, 11 August 2019 (UTC)

Ohh, I see!
Nambaseking01 (talk | contribs) 07:59, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Ur Bot (which is the thing most people are concerned about, why did you make it?)

Dude, it tells me I'm editing some page a lot, but it's a good habit to save your work, innit?
Congyingzhou (talk | contribs) 13:06, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

It was introduced to help people remember the wiki etiquette. 2. It's a better habit to use show preview, just for our sanity, on behalf of those with the patrol edits right.
banana439monkey (Talk | Contribs | Scratch | Edits (2,605)) 13:12, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

huh your rule made me work twice on an entire section. I am used to save work.
Congyingzhou (talk | contribs) 05:06, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

As banana pointed out, you should use "Show Preview" to see how things look while you edit. When you save a page, it makes an entry in the page history as well as the recent changes log (which a bunch of people look at to monitor how things are going on the Wiki), and saving frequently creates a ton of entries, making it harder to keep track of what's going on. If you want to save your work while you're working, the best thing to do is save it somewhere else (like a Word doc or something).

WikiMonitor Bot Thoughts

You changed your bot's schedule of editing the FPC list to Tuesday? Or is that just me?
TenType (talk | contribs) 04:36, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

It edits the FPC within an hour of it being changed, it's just that the ST is sometimes behind in updating it.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 18:23, 27 August 2019 (UTC)

Weird. The studios that the Scratch Team manages already updated the FPC yesterday, but your bot still hasn't been triggered.
