Mistake in Welcome! tutorial

Yes Resolved (since 13:01, 1 March 2024 (UTC))

Hello! Just letting you know that I found a grammatical error in the Welcome page. It's in page 4 (Talk pages), section 1 (User Talk Pages), Paragraph 1 (Every editor...). It says "If someone has left you a message, you will a notification in Special:Notifications..." Do you see how there's no 'get' or other word in there? If you have made this page, please fix this little mistake. Thanks!

Just a reminder - is there any action I need to do?

Hello again! Just letting you know if I need any action for me moving into a new Scratch Account (not the Scratch Wiki account). It's called mewercats. I will move there once I release Hen Farm. -- Hey, it's me, mewingcat456, talking through this text thing. This is totally not a reference to jvvg talking through your mouse, just like what happened a few moments ago.

Hi!
Thanks for unprotecting the image that I wanted to update. I checked the protection log, and it looks like it worked. However, it's still throwing an error when I try to upload the image. (I have an image of the error here) Do you know what's going on?

Is Mod Share 100% Dead?

Would you ever revive Mod Share? It's a very interesting concept and I think it has potential today, especially with the insane amount of mods to improve speed, add extensions, blocks, and more. Nowadays people only upload once a month or two for the lolz of uploading on an ancient program. But with a concept like that, there could be so many possibilities.
Co0lcr34t10ns (talk | contribs) 10:47, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

@Co0lcr34t10ns: I do not have any plans to revive Mod Share. At the time I built it, I worked with LS97 and was still in high school, so I had a lot of free time. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. It's now all just up to me, and I am now an adult with the responsibilities that come with that. Between my actual job, just handling life in the adult world (cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning, etc.), maintaining the Wiki, and the volunteer work I do, I don't really have time to add another website on top of that to maintain.

Edit: I have found it in the archive, but I disagree that it was resolved. I was waiting until the weekend for objections, and I think it's fair for everyone to be able to see and reply to it before I (or others) make the changes to the articles.
Han614698 H Logo.png han614698 talkcontribs (2,392)profile 01:19, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
@han614698 If you think it's unresolved, feel free to revive it. You don't need anyone's permission. I had to go through a whole lot of topics and quickly decide based only on a cursory look which ones I thought were resolved, and I definitely was not perfect.
jvvg (talk | contribs) 01:56, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
I think I'll just create a new topic on the CP about it just to check for any objections. Bringing back the entire discussion seems like an insane unnecessary byte count.

B:WM's curator-updating function is completely broken.

Basically the news page, the curator page, and the curator list page are completely broken. Specifically, WM tried to add the actual current curator (Little_miss_pancake) to the full list (twice), and then thought that coolcoder010101 had just became the current curator even though they are now a former FPC. Also, BalockeyBuilds (the 600th curator) is missed by WM in the full list. Please fix these problems, thank you.
Purin2022 Mini User Icon.png Purin2022 | 💬Talk | 📝Contribs | 🐱Scratch 20:46, 5 June 2024 (UTC)

Edit: It appears that it is constantly thinking that it switched from coolcoder010101 to Little_miss_pancake then go back to coolcoder010101 again.

Question about WM

If we forget to sign a post, and we’re only given 3 minutes to fix it, but if we can only make changes each 180 seconds (3m), how are we supposed to fix it without getting notified?

This is true. I cannot even report — it stays in «Sending», and this is a crucial feature for Scratch.

@Co0lcr34t10ns, Jmdzti_0-0 I'm not jvvg, but the servers are having issues because the servers at MIT are having issues - basically, the Scratch Team parted ways with MIT to form the Scratch Foundation, but MIT still lets them use the domain. The servers at MIT are having issues, and their engineers (not Scratch's) have to solve it. (source - either cheddargirl or Paddle2See said this a few days ago but I don't remember who or where)

@Co0lcr34t10ns I don't know. I have no inside knowledge of the situation on the Scratch side of things, and there are a lot of different causes that could cause server slowdowns. I don't even know if the slowdown and maintenance are related, they could be two completely separate things.

404s

If you try to press the "diff", "prev", or "cur" buttons without logging in in the Recent Changes tab, you get 404'ed. Has it always been like this? It's pretty annoying having to log in every time to be able to see recent changes as I'm not on my home computer.

This is a temporary band-aid we have in place to reduce the number of 503/508 errors we have been getting. We are looking into more long-term solutions that would still allow logged-out users to view diffs but we needed to do this as a temporary measure to keep the site running.
