Hello!
Hi, puppy! Do you have any tips on how to be more active on the wiki, xD I have had this wiki account for more than 6 months and haven't been on it that much xD
Purplewolves (talk | contribs) 22:41, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
- Hi there! I'd just click random page until you find something that can be edited. You can also go to the Community Portal and join a discussion.

How do you change your signature?

How did you get the cool sidebar?
290Scratcher (talk | contribs) 17:12, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- You can find the code here: User:Bigpuppy/Sidebar
- I also looked at Kenny2scratch, Customhacker, and GlassGalaxy's sidebars to help me make my own. Feel free to look at my code to help you make yours (if you want one)

bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 12:26, 20 October 2017 (UTC)- Do you have any questions about the wiki?
bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 12:28, 20 October 2017 (UTC)- yes. I was wondering if you could tell me about bot archives
78ch3 (talk | contribs) 19:10, 20 October 2017 (UTC)- Bot archives are optional. If you want to clean up your talk page from all the bot messages you've gotten (for example from WikiMonitor (talk | contribs) or another bot, although I think WM is the only one that gives you talk page messages), you can create a Bot Archive to move all your bot messages to. You can create one by clicking this link: User talk:78ch3/Bot Archive
- yes. I was wondering if you could tell me about bot archives
- Do you have any questions about the wiki?
Hello!
Hi bigpuppy, I'm new to the wiki! Any advice for editing?
PokemonScratch101 (talk | contribs) 23:49, 28 October 2017 (UTC)
- Hello! Welcome to the wiki! Here are some tips:
- Usually to find pages to edit, I just keep clicking "random page" (Special:Random) until I find something to edit.
- Look for people that need help, or suggestions, or discussions on the Community Portal. You can also start one there!
- Check out what edits other people are making on Special:RecentChanges.
- Have fun!
- Other than that, I'd check out the Help pages if you haven't already. Scratch on, and good luck editing!

Hello, this is regarding my page.
User: Saw Leopard
Hi, I was the one who made the "Chatroom" edit. I am not very experienced with the wiki. I started in summer of this year. I have lots of intrest in scratch but am only 10 years old.
Is there a section you feel could use the perspective of someone like me?

Thank you for the friendly message. I like people who take the time to find new wiki editors and greet them. Also, I am a fan of your shop on the forums.

Dressygirl (talk | contribs) 14:26, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
- Hi there, Dressygirl! Welcome to the Scratch Wiki, and congrats on your account getting accepted! Here are my tips:
- You don't have to put "--" before "~~~~" on your posts, though I see no harm in doing so if you'd like to
- Check out the help pages if you haven't yet. They explain a lot of stuff on the wiki.
- Use the sandbox to test out formatting and other stuff. The public sandbox gets cleared automatically every few hours by a bot. If you'd like your own sandbox that won't get cleared automatically, you can create one by clicking this link.
- Make sure to know how to indent on talk pages. If you're wondering how, I told someone else how to in one of my talk archives.
- If you have any big questions about the wiki or suggestions (or something else relating to the wiki that you want a lot of people to see), you can post in the Community Portal. This is the official main talk page for our wiki. You can also reply to posts there.
- If you're looking for pages to edit, I recommend random page. You can find it on the navigation bar (to the left) of the wiki.
- If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! There's a list of Experienced Wikians (people that have been elected by the community to help lead it) here I used a non-internal link because I couldn't figure out how to put one for this page. There's a list of active users here. Of course, you can also ask me or ask on the Community Portal.
- Good luck, and have fun editing here!

Welcome Messages
I joined the wiki a bit ago, and a few minutes after I joined I received multitudes of notifications from various editors, and you asked me if it was too much. I may have already responded (it was just fine) and I was wondering how you guys know when someone joins so quickly?
HappyParakeet (talk | contribs) 01:54, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
- We check Special:RecentChanges quite often - new users show up in there, as well as any other edits.

Hello there
Hi there, bigpuppy! Thanks for being so welcoming to me, I appreciate it. I do have a question - How did you make that brown box on your user page?

bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 23:51, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
Thanks! I need some help. I used the code from your Navigation thing, and I changed the color of the font to black and the outside, but how do I make it so the box is only around part of the page, not the whole thing?
--Waterfall-- (talk | contribs) 00:20, 9 December 2017 (UTC)

Box on the side of user page
Hi there :)
So, I've been wondering - How did you make that brown box with the links on it on your user page? If you could show me the code, that would be great :)
Waterfall | Talk | Contribs | 03:49, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- ...why did you ask two people...?
- You use the HTML
style
attribute. In it, you specifyposition: fixed;
and thenleft/right/top/bottom: npx;
. "left/right/top/bottom" can be left OR right OR top OR bottom, but you need two of them. "n" can be any number.
kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 11:22, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- I asked two people because I wanted to see the difference between the collapsable box code ::and the non-collapsable box code.
- Waterfall | Talk | Contribs | 23:34, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
- Hi! Feel free to click "edit" to look at the code of any of my stuff, just make sure you don't press "save page" Here's my box: User:Bigpuppy/Navigation
bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 01:21, 13 December 2017 (UTC)- Sorry, I should have been more specific - I didn't mean that box, I meant the one on the left ::::side of your page, with a lighter brown outline, and a darker brown on the inside, with your ::::logo on the inside, and the bigpuppy text above the logo. Hope that was descriptive enough ::::for you :)

Please move your sidebar to the front
Hi there! Could you quickly specify z-index:999
somewhere in your sidebar div that has position:absolute
? That will prevent it from being obscured by the "tools" section in the Vector skin. Thanks!
kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 07:35, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

- Hi! You're welcome.
- No, you can make any edits you'd like without asking as long as you aren't editing someone else's userpage/subpages of their userpage without permission and you're following the editing guidelines. (just so you know, you posted this topic twice; it's fine though)
bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 23:57, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
Oops! I didn't mean to do that! Sorry. But if you want to add a new section or something big like that, do you need to ask? --
Cs652782 (talk | contribs) 00:36, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
Hello I'm new
I was wondering if you have to ask before making any edits because it seem like there are so many rules. I'm afraid to do anything because I think I might break a rule and get banned on accident.
Cs652782 (talk | contribs) 00:31, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
- Don't worry about getting banned! That will probably only happen if you vandalize pages (removing all the content or something like that). If you make a mistake, someone else can always change it.
bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 01:42, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Your wikian tips page
That looks pretty good! There’s a few problems with it that I have, however:
- It links to other things “for more information” too much. People don’t want to click more links - have more information on the original page.
- That external link? Change it to this.
- The border may need some more redesign - it clashes a little with the skin.
- The first tip is kinda like accusing them of something they didn’t do - the problem is that the “insert your signature” button in the edit tools bar above the edit box inserts “--~~~~” and not “~~~~”.
Just wanted to give those tips :)
kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 13:13, 30 December 2017 (UTC)

bigpuppy talk ▪︎ contribs 16:25, 30 December 2017 (UTC)- Two more things:
- You can actually set a title for the box (instead of “extended content”), see the doc since I don’t really remember how.
- It seems strange that the note about transclusion (“this was transcluded from here”) is outside the collapsed box...
- Otherwise, it looks much better!

Help with my Talk Page
Hi Bigpuppy! How do I customize my talk page? Thanks for your help!
Svancelette (talk | contribs) 23:39, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Hello! Thanks for asking.
- You can do it using code like
<big>Hi there!</big>
- makes
- Hi there!
- — then just edit your talk page or userpage and add the code! Make sure, when editing the layout and design of your talk page, to mark edits you make with "minor." Then WikiMonitor won't leave you a message about not signing your posts. But when leaving messages regularly on talk pages, you don't need to mark them as minor.[1]
- Anyway, you can look at the code of my userpage/talk page by clicking "edit" on the page (just make sure to not submit the edit). You can test stuff out in the sandbox, just keep in mind it gets cleared (there's info about that on the page).
- Good luck, and feel free to ask me if you need help or have other questions!
