Talk:Friend

Wha...?

Is the "Befriending one's self" section really necessary?

It's interesting, and people have repeatedly asked how to do it. Hmm, maybe it should be an FAQ article instead.

That section does seem kind of unrelated, I think it could be an FAQ article. But lets hold off until we have the final decisions.

We could make a How To page on that "befriending yourself" thing.

I vote for it to remain here, because its the obvious place to look for this information. It is out of ace because of the relative lack of relevant content.
Hardmath123 (talk | contribs) 16:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

I think it could go in a How-to linked from See Also.
Scimonster (talk | contribs) 16:28, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

Since it's not even going to be valid for the new site, I think it doesn't merit its own how-to page.

Actually, I did manage to do it on the new 2.0 site the my new Ori-Tak account.

Some people probably don't even like it when someone befriends themselves.

So?
Scimonster (talk | contribs) 19:08, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

It's necessary.

It's technically a bug, right? So we're telling people how to exploit a bug on Scratch. Other pages like this get deleted.

This is a 1.4 article

Therefore, going by Turkey3's CP post, it should be moved to Friend (1.4). Shall I do so?

Actually since there is no such thing as a "Friend" in Scratch 2.0 it should remain without the "(1.4)", as that's how it seems to be currently.

isOnline Friending

You can do a similar thing in isOnline, so should I add a new section about it?
Redglitter (talk | contribs) 17:12, 3 September 2017 (UTC)

No (in my opinion). isOnline is an extension and it's not made by Scratch, so in my opinion isOnline friending should stay in it's own article. This article talks about how you used to be able to friend people in Scratch 1.x. But let's see what other people think just to make sure.

I agree with Bigpuppy.

I also agree because the ST Made an announcement on the discussion forums some months ago that public extensions are not allowed to be advertised on Scratch.

Can this be merged with Followers?

Friending is just an older version/name for following, as the article states, so shouldn't this page be merged with Followers?
J_Coder26 (talk | contribs) 22:17, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

 No Support Freinding is the older version of following, and if many of the sections go in there then the viewer will be confused about whether it is freinding or following. However I'm OK if there is one section that talks about freinding saying that its outdated, or if the page gets redirected from "Freind".
Username_6666666 (talk | contribs) 13:46, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Just to clarify, friending is the same thing as following. The way you worded your point that people might get confused about the difference between friending and following made it sound like you thought they are different things. They are the same thing so I wouldn't think users would be confused about what they are if the subsection I suggest merging this article into states that they are the same thing. Another reason why your point is flawed is because we're not changing anything major about the main idea of the article, so people are going to be more or less equally confused (for those who are confused) whether it is it's own article or a subsection. All that is happening is that the the article will be "changing locations".
J_Coder26 (talk | contribs) 03:46, 26 August 2021 (UTC)

I agree that we should merge this with Followers, the content in both pages are more or less the same thing.
Starhero5697 (talk | contribs) 06:21, 2 July 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure. They are both similar, but Friending has a few differences—

1. Friending shows you the friend's latest project, following shows their activity.
2. Friends could be removed directly from the Friend List, to unfollow someone you have to go to their profile.

And we technically could just say that friending had these two differences from following in a section called 'Friending' and make this page redirect to that. I like that idea better. So ³/₄th Support.
