Definition of Obsolete
| Unresolved (see all...)
|
|---|
Currently, articles on Hidden Blocks (such as the While () block) are written in past tense, as they're considered obsolete features. However, somebody recently edited the Loud? article to use present tense despite the fact that it's not in Scratch 3.0. I've reverted the changes on that page, but would like to have a discussion regarding what to do in order to have community consensus. I'm inviting @Mrsrec and @PartyPizza205 to the conversation, since they edited the page. Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 20:50, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I also think things like Scratch 1.4 should not be considered 'obsolete features' or referred to in past tense. Clarifying that a feature (like the Motor Blocks) that was in 1.4 but not 3.0 is useful. But saying that Scratch 1.4 is a previous version-- and also referring to it in past tense, is not useful. Saying things like "In Scratch 1.4, reporters *could be* dropped into the sprite menu of the () of () block" implies that it is no longer possible to do that in Scratch 1.4-- but it still is. For things that aren't true anymore, it can be written in past tense, but the entire article shouldn't be written in past tense unless something no longer exists. This same logic also applies to the original topic-- those "hidden blocks". They not only still exist 'technically', but also practically-- because people are still using them by copying and pasting them into other projects. In particular, the For Each () in () block is still used by people in projects, and it routinely causes confusion over what it does and why it works differently than many other blocks. And to say that those blocks "don't exist anymore" when they not only do, but still work, and are still used, is very misleading. Put simply, we shouldn't add a template that says the page is "only useful from a historical perspective" when it isn't, people want to know what those still-existing blocks do, and why some projects have them.
Mrsrec (talk | contribs) 21:16, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I disagree with Mrsrc. I feel as though it’s weird to write an article in present tense as the features have been removed - in essence an article about Scratch 1.4 is only useful from a historical standpoint. If a block still exists in Scratch to some extent (whether that extent has it still in the palette), it should not be marked obsolete as it isn’t. Things that are not in the present version of Scratch shouldn’t be referenced like they are. For example, when reading an article about Scratch 2, it would be weird to see “The Recent Projects row is located on the front page” versus “was located”. Some people do write about the past in the present tense on other platforms, and I think many people can agree it’s annoying and confusing, especially if a similar feature still is relevant.

- @han614698 You're mixing the topics of writing about Scratch in past tense, and the topic of writing about the Scratch Website in past tense. Scratch 2.0 itself has never contained a "Recent Projects" row. That's an old version of the Scratch website which is no longer up. A better example would be something with Scratch itself: for example "Scratch 2.0 had cloning"? Does it not have cloning anymore? Would someone who downloaded Scratch 2.0 not see the clone blocks? For something that doesn't exist anymore, it makes sense to write about it in past tense. But right now, pages not only do that, but refer to the entirety of Scratch 2.0 and such as things that don't exist anymore. Mrsrec (talk | contribs) 23:26, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- Also, the "only useful from a historical perspective" was concerning the topic about the "Loud?" block. OP said that the Loud? block "doesn't exist in Scratch 3.0" even though it does. The Scratch 2.0 past-tense thing was just the problem of, ironically, the opposite problem you have: where people are writing about things that still exist as though they do not. Mrsrec (talk | contribs) 23:28, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I was the one who edited the Loud? page to use the present tense since the block still exists in 3.0. The functionally was even kept intact, so if you scream, the block will return true. Also, the article also mentions: "A project which is imported into Scratch 3.0 with this Stage Monitor will still function correctly, (snipped unneccessary part)"

Potential templating issue in the confirmation emails for account creation

There's been at least two topics on the Scratch forums where someone has asked whether the Scratch Wiki is paid because of this message in the confirmation email:
| “ | Someone (probably you?) has requested an account for $2. | ” |
I think this might have happened due to an issue in the templating of that message and is actually supposed to be the username? The message seems to have been localized like that to adjust for different placements of currencies next to numbers, too.

Closed Suggestion - ONLY EDIT ONCE on April Fools when its beyond April 1st when you are Wikian+

Look, I know editing AF articles can cause addiction of being not professional and it isn't the main part of the wiki. However, in other months other then march and AFD, you cannot edit it other then your userspace April Fools. But sometimes the edit could be neccessary, but have to wait for a LONG while. The only month cannot be edited is December, January and February because 3 months is quite a short time, but 4-11 months is quite a lot. It wouldn't cause any not professional addiction since they only can edit once, and once they edit, they cannot edit until March 1st, aswell a warning to told them they only can edit once and have to wait until March 1st to edit again and have to use it wisely, also, it cause them to think twice before editing and think of "Should this edit be worth it"?. The warning should be like:
 Warning: | This is YOUR LAST AF EDIT UNTIL MARCH 1ST, (NEXT AF YEAR). Please consider:
|
Also new Wikians cannot edit because they like won't take it seriously.
That way, Wikians think twice and take it wisely and will not turn addicted to AF Page. Although this is very likely rejected, I'll see where it goes. ENDYOURENITE (talk | contribs) 19:36, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- TL;DR:
- The idea of limiting it to march and April Fools might block neccessary edits
- So I suggest to only edit once every other months except Dec-Feb, and once edited on other months, you cannot edit again until March
- That way, Wikians think twice before editing because of the warning and the only chance and neccessary edits will only happen.
- I will just see where it goes, even though it is likely rejected. ENDYOURENITE (talk | contribs) 19:46, 13 April 2025 (UTC)
- What is an example of a “necessary edit“? The only things that come to my mind are if there’s anything inappropriate or if a link/image needs to be changed. However, at that point just report the page or use S:CPSYS to let an admin know and handle it. Those are pretty small edits that can be done by admins. It seems unnecessary to go through the work of changing the code to allow just 1 edit per user. KangaCoder ( talk • contribs • scratch ) 16:29, 14 April 2025 (UTC)

No considering how it actually didn't impact the site much. Not many Scratchers are from China. - Also, don't exaggerate bans or discontinuations of stuff - don't say "forever" or "deleted".

[SUGGESTION] Ban AI from being used to generate pages
| Unresolved (see all...)
|
|---|
Here's why:
- AI typically outputs Markdown, which isn't compatible with MediaWiki. Articles will look very ugly in this situation. Like:
- Welcome to Scratch!
- [Scratch](scratch.mit.edu) is a **visual programming language** for kids.
- which should be:
- Welcome to Scratch!
- Scratch is a visual programming language for kids.
- AI can give misinformation to users. For instance, take:
- Credits to ThisIsTemp1
- The AI said that you can block a user. However, this is a rejected suggestion. A human wouldn't suggest blocking a user, because that functionality doesn't exist on Scratch.
- AI will not understand S:GUIDELINES and S:STYLE which leads to poorly written articles.
- If people want an AI generated page, they can just ask AI to give them one, instead of looking for one on the wiki.
At the very least AI should be allowed for fixing your grammar or improving tone. Not for generating pages. I have seem one case of an AI-generated page (that I remember), but with a new generation of Wikians, I fear the number of AI-generated pages is going to boost.
Also, here is a concept MediaWiki:Newarticletext for this:

- I semi-support. Although I don't think AI should be used to generate AI pages, I don't think it should be completely banned, and instead it should be discouraged. What I mean by that is if somebody makes a page using AI (primarily or entirely), the page shouldn't be deleted (unless it goes against something else), but it should instead be edited to remove any false information or anything otherwise reminiscent of AI.

- While we don't explicitly write it in the rules, we already don't allow AI to be used to write articles (similar to the policy that exists on the forums). However, the only real way we have to enforce this is holding users accountable for the accuracy of their contributions (which we should be doing anyway). Tools like gptzero are not accurate enough that they can be used as a good indicator of whether or not a page was actually generated with AI, and if someone does manage to generate a high quality and correct article using AI, there isn't really a good way to catch it (and is it even worth it if we still got a high quality article?). jvvg (talk | contribs) 20:58, 15 April 2025 (UTC)

- I semi-support. Although I don't think AI should be used to generate AI pages, I don't think it should be completely banned, and instead it should be discouraged. What I mean by that is if somebody makes a page using AI (primarily or entirely), the page shouldn't be deleted (unless it goes against something else), but it should instead be edited to remove any false information or anything otherwise reminiscent of AI.

- @Core1223e Hi Core1223e, welcome to the Scratch Wiki. Thanks for pointing out that Cloud Variables are back, I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. I've removed the template, though, since you're an editor, in the future if you notice anything like that you can remove it yourself directly. To let people know who you are, just type four ~ after your post in a row. That puts a signature like the one at the bottom of this post, so that other people will know who you are. Thanks for pointing this out, it was genuinely very helpful and hope you make many more great contributions. Mrsrec (talk | contribs) 01:09, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
Two suggestions I have.
| Unresolved (see all...)
|
|---|
I think, the first one is less likely to be added, while the second is more likely to be addded.
First suggestion
-British or Simple English Scratch Wiki.
There can be some Brits or people who speak British Eng. may find the wiki confusing in some words. This goes to the Simple English as well. To prevent confusion, a British English Wiki and/or Simple English can be made.
Second suggestion
-A "more languages" in the languages sidebar thing.
So, Jvvg told me in the last archive, that it will clog up by adding more languages. I think this won't: Adding "more languages" button text thing! By clicking it, it, gives you more languages in a box appearing neat the sidebar thing, the user can choose a language they speak and done! Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contribs) 19:45, 17 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Scratchtheguy1 First suggestion No support beacuse british is very equally english. KongTullman talk | 364 contribs 05:07, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- 2nd suggestion: Support! KongTullman talk | 364 contribs 05:07, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Scratchtheguy1 No support for the first one, because British English is way too similar to American English. I'm not sure what you mean for your second suggestion; do you want a sidebar that lists all of the interwikis? If so, No support, as it would be rather useless after the user's first visit on the wiki. Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 05:22, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- For the second one - see that languages on the Scratch Wiki homepage? Whelp. I would like to be a "more" option, that appears more langauges in a box. Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contribs) 05:44, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
- Every language we add as a full Wiki is additional engineering effort, and adding small variations on a language we already have really isn't worth it, so I can confidently say British or Simple English isn't going to happen. For a "more languages" sidebar, what would you suggest that actually do? We already have the "In other languages" for all pages where there is a translation (and someone bothered to add the Interwiki link). jvvg (talk | contribs) 20:58, 18 April 2025 (UTC)

Specifically, "Edit", "Page History", and "Purge cache" all lead to the Scratch Wiki homepage, attempting to edit it, viewing its history, or purging the cache on that page. Before it changed, it would actually do the actions on the page you were on. Is that intentional or was it a bug?

Hi there! I was wondering if any wikians out there know if you are allowed to create a WIKI page on scratch about a studio you own. Thank you!
SicrearbuildReal (talk | contribs) 21:32, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- @SicrearbuildReal Studios are almost always not allowed to have their own article because they're mostly always exclusively user-generated. The only article that is about a studio which I know about is Scratch Hall of Fame - Animation, and that was because it had a major presence on the media. If you shared what studio you want to make an article about, then I would be able to give the answer, but the answer is probably no. Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 22:08, 20 April 2025 (UTC)
- @SicrearbuildReal: As Gdxfor mentioned, studios you have made are not allowed in the mainspace (see S:NOSP). If you want to create a page about a studio, you are welcome to do so under your own userspace. Go to User:SicrearbuildReal/STUDIO NAME and create a page (you can change "STUDIO NAME" to whatever you want the title to be). KangaCoder ( talk • contribs • scratch ) 22:48, 20 April 2025 (UTC)

- In my case (ChromeOS),one the French Scratch Wiki, there was a button in the address box, not a popup, but it is probably the same thing. Unless it is something different, it's actually a browser feature, not a Scratch Wiki feature. Choosing to install the app does not install anything, but adds a shortcut that opens in a new window. In chrome, you can go to the three dots settings menu => Cast, save, and share => Install page as app... to manually install it. There might be some way for Scratch Wiki to hint this to the browser, and I would support Scratch Wiki doing that.

Additionally, the warning tone could cause confusion for people who create projects in Scratch 1.x or 2.0 that use the hidden blocks and upload them to the Scratch website, since it may lead them to think that is not allowed. jvvg (talk | contribs) 23:15, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

[BUG REPORT] Usernames are case sensitive (on the wiki)

You may know what I mean based on the title. Basically, usernames will have a different result based on capitalization.
For example, User:PartyPizza205 and User:Partypizza205 are considered 'different' users on the wiki.
This isn't what should happen. What should happen is that User:Partypizza205 would automatically redirect to User:PartyPizza205 (because of the different capitalization.) To do this currently, someone would have to manually create the page and add a redirect (which is not allowed on the Scratch Wiki by the way.)
Is this possible to get fixed?

Why editing april fools pages is now illegal only legal between Mar. 1 - Apr. 1? I saw my april fools articles have some sort of issues, but I can't fix them until 2026. Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contributions) C2A :)
- @Scratchtheguy1 Yes, generative AI is banned. However, as I said in the response to the thread you mentioned, it's difficult to enforce, and the main way to enforce it is by holding users responsible for content they post. AI detectors are a helpful tool, but are not accurate enough (despite the claims they make) that they're sufficient proof. As for April Fools pages, the reason is because editing April Fools pages throughout the rest of the year was a distraction from productive editing and led to a lot of drama, to the point where we had users requesting accounts and then doing nothing but editing April Fools pages with them. Only allowing editing them for a month helps mitigate a lot of those problems without getting rid of them entirely. jvvg (talk | contribs) 18:54, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

[SUGGESTION] Allow Lua modules and TemplateStyles
| Unresolved (see all...)
|
|---|
If you edit Wikipedia or some other wiki with a lot of extensions, and regularly edit templates, you might have noticed that many templates use Lua and TemplateStyles. This allows making templates that are actually good, and some existing templates could also be improved using Lua/TemplateStyles.
Let me explain:
- Lua is a simple programming language designed to be integrated into other software so that it can be used to extend functionality. Most Wikipedia templates use Lua, and if the Scratch Wiki could also utilize Lua, creating templates would be much easier. There is a MediaWiki extension to do this, called Extension:Scribunto.
- Extension:TemplateStyles allows creating CSS for templates. This would be much more maintainable than inline CSS and would also allow more complex styling.

- @jvvg TemplateStyles would be useful because: many templates look too bright with ScratchWikiSkin dark mode. TemplateStyles would allow more complex CSS which allows us to handle dark mode. I'll think of something for Lua later. A-MARIO-PLAYER (talk | contribs) 22:01, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- When it comes to dark mode, including fixes in the theme itself is preferable when possible because often what editors will see as an issue with only one template is actually due to something that was omitted that affects other templates or UI components as well. jvvg (talk | contribs) 02:14, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Should there be a page about (or including) interactive SVGs?

There is already a page about Animated SVGs (which do not appear properly on Scratch projects). However, SVGs can also be interactive (like this one or this one). So, should there be a page about them or mentioning them if there is a page about animated SVGs? BrilliantGamer6 (talk | contribs) 20:16, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
New Student Account Restriction

I saw somewhere that, apparently, Scratch was updated so that student accounts can no longer invite curators to a studio even if they are the host. Can someone confirm this? Gdxfor (talk | contribs) 23:01, 16 May 2025 (UTC)
- Can confirm with my (student) alt account.

[Suggestion] Wikians can protect

Wikians can protect pages to wikian+ why not?

- @KongTullman Support!

- This is not going to be implemented. The number of cases where a page needs to be protected to Wikian+ isn't super high, and there would almost certainly be a lot of cases of people overzealously protecting pages when there really is no reason to. In addition, this has the potential to cause conflicts where two users (one Wikian, one New Wikian) are in a dispute and the Wikian protects the page to Wikian+ even if they don't actually have reasonable justification for their edit staying. jvvg (talk | contribs) 17:13, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- I know jvvg already dropped the news, but I'd like to throw my opinion in this vast ocean that is the community portal: No support. This feels like Wikipedia letting extended confirmed users protect pages as extended confirmed (which barely makes sense, as an extended confirmed editor on Wikipedia myself.) Also see jvvg's point - Wikians could abuse this in an edit war with a New Wikian. Not even Experienced Wikians have the ability to protect pages - only administrators can.
- Also, I doubt this would be possible with vanilla MediaWiki or any extensions I'm aware of. Letting Wikians protect pages as Wikian+ also means they could protect them as admin+, which is obviously something we don't want. A-MARIO-PLAYER (talk | contribs) 22:15, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

Why "Do not edit anyone else's user page."?

This sounds a weird rule for me. Scratchtheguy1 (talk | contributions) C2A :) 18:33, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
- Even though it might seem self-explanatory (aka don't touch other people's stuff), it's good to just have it down somewhere in case a situation arises that violates this rule. KangaCoder ( talk • contribs • scratch ) 21:03, 19 May 2025 (UTC)
