Cool tips on how to edit
- 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.
- After you are in the editor, check out the cheatsheet for editing tips.
- You can also check out the help pages for more detailed information on editing.
- 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.
- 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.
- If the page you wanted to make is already created, you can create a redirect page! For more info on redirect pages, see this.
- 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!"
- For information on magic words, check out the MediaWiki Documentatation.
Cool tips for using templates
- A list of templates can be found here
- To use a template, put it in curly brackets ({{}})
- To create a template for yourself, make a subpage of your userpage, like 'User:USERNAME/PAGENAME'.
- To use a template you have created, put the name in curly brackets, like {{User:USERNAME/PAGENAME}}
- 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}}
Cool tips for finding pages to edit
- Use random page
- Check out articles to expand
- Check out article stubs
- Look at edits on recent changes and see what you can do to improve it even more.
- Look at S:CPND for discussions to take part in
Cool tips for posting on talk pages
- To post on someone's talk page, simply press the pencil icon and then press "New Topic". Type in the subject and message.
- Then, make sure you sign your post with 4 tildes (
~~~~)
- 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)

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:Scratch Cat- Costume 2.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!

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 321842 of
Scratch Wiki talk:Community Portal. 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!
If you have any questions about this, please check out the FAQs.
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.
