- If I made a mistake, of any kind whatsoever (assume good faith), please post your view calmly and collectedly.
- Think about your post before posting.
- I welcome all questions — Wiki-/Scratch-related questions and personal/offtopic questions are equally welcome here.

In case of you don't watch your userpage or you don't read your email
There were this and that edit of User:Kenny2scratch/Content by someone else. (specifically they removed the links to the GitHub source files to your discord bot) This is the link to where you can discuss the edits.

- Thanks for letting me know. I neither watch my userpage nor have time to check Wiki-related emails very often.
- I've reverted the edits. I don't really feel like necroposting so if Banana takes issue with it he should let me know here.

- @Kenny2scratch I am not Banana, but I do take issue with this. I don’t think it’s something that a normal user would be able to get away with, to be completely honest.

- I certainly wouldn't get away with it on the main site, but I hold firmly to the opinions that we have our own authority to interpret the CGs until the ST personally intervene otherwise, and that the ST banning the word entirely on the main site is solely an exercise of extra caution for convenience of moderation which the Wiki administration, with our account request process and smaller userbase, does not have to resort to. In other words, mentioning it is not itself a CG violation; the Scratch Team just blanket bans its use on the main site because it would be too hard to moderate on a case by case basis, which is not the case here. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 11:59, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
- I do feel that the Scratch Team doesn't have enough of a relationship with the wiki in order to police and monitor it in the way that they do with the main site, and as a result, they a) entrust us to do so properly and b) act rather hands-off with respect to its contents. I feel that they likely would appreciate its mention on the wiki as much as they would on Scratch, but alas unless there was a glaring issue that they take with the wiki or its content, it's very unlikely that they shall be the ones to intervene - even if I am of the opinion that its sole mention breaks the community guidelines. 15:30, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

The Wiki's Navigation Bar is slightly more darker than on the main Scratch website.
If you want to see the color codes, the Scratch Wiki's shade of purple is #7953c4
The main Scratch website's shade of purple is #855cd6
Have fun trying to unsee that now.

- The scratchr2 navbar color has changed over time. That said, it was #0f8bc0 at the time the skin was made, which is still not the same. It turns out (after checking my emails) that the actual origin for the current color is 'the "deep purple" from [the Scratch Team's] brand palette' which was suggested by @thisandagain (at the time the director of the ST) in a February 2018 email chain and acceded to by @MartinWollenweber (then and now our sole financial support). I had originally provided mockups of various blues, which all didn't "go far enough" in thisandagain's eyes; he was partial to orange, but in our mind that went too far.

what is your bot doing?
Can your bot create a frank page?

TemplatesFTW Q
1. Why did it compress I marked as compressed?
2. Why does it take a bit to compress files that were uploaded ages ago?
GvYoutube (talk | contribs) 13:32, 3 April 2025 (UTC)
- I don't see where you "marked as compressed" either of the files that my bot notified you about. Neither upload explicitly said that it was compressed, and both files were reduced by more than 10% (in fact by more than half in both cases). Please compress your files.
- My bot only runs when I run it. It does not operate in the same way as WikiMonitor, which runs constantly and keeps watch. Due to the business inherent in my own life right now, I haven't had the time to run my bot as frequently as I'd like.
- Hopefully that answers your questions. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 07:17, 4 April 2025 (UTC)
Question about image uploading
Hi, is there a recommended amount of times I should compress an image before uploading it to the Wiki? I ask because I mistakenly assumed compressing the images once was all I needed to do, but the alerts I recently received from TemplatesFTW have taught me otherwise, and I'm just a bit curious how compressed my image needs to be before I upload it (or if there's a standard for this in the first place.) Thanks :) 
minikiwigeek2 (talk, contributions (519), scratch) 14:29, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
- TemplatesFTW will not compress an image or notify the uploader if any of the following conditions are met:
- It is not able to reduce the file size by more than 10%
- The upload summary indicates that the image is already compressed (e.g. when reuploading a compressed version, one would say "compressed" in the upload summary)
- The reupload in question reverted the file to an older version (and the upload summary indicated as such)
- So either compress until you can't shave off more than 10% (preferred for new files), or indicate in the upload summary that the reupload is a compression (preferred when updating existing files), and you should be dandy. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 09:39, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Cool, thanks for letting me know. minikiwigeek2 (talk, contributions (519), scratch) 11:56, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
