Hello !
Hi there ! I'm new to the Wikipedia. It's nice to meet you ! :D

- Oh hai! Quick signature tip: all you need to do is put
~~~~at the end of your post and you'll be good ;) - Besides that, this isn't Wikipedia - it's the Scratch Wiki, we're our own thing :)
- Welcome to the Wiki, in any case! :D

Sysop/Bureaucrat
Hey. How do you become a bureaucrat and sysop on international wikis?
asqwde talk | contribs 17:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
- Please make a minisig! Create User:Asqwde/minisig with the content
{{User:Asqwde/(your signature subpage)}}, then set your signature to{{User:Asqwde/minisig}}. - As to how I became bureaucrat, MartinWollenweber saw my userpage and saw how international I am by nature; he also saw my skill with MediaWiki, both frontend and backend. He invited me to get involved, and I became bureaucrat and sysop of the Test Scratch Wiki.
- Becoming bureaucrat was purely by invitation, there was no election or anything - wikis are rather oligarchic. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 00:33, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- I am stuck: I tried but it doesn’t really work. What is the code?
asqwde talk | contribs 07:52, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Assuming the name of your signature subpage is "/sig", create User:Asqwde/minisig with the content:
{{User:Asqwde/sig}}- Then, go to Special:Preferences; scroll to the bottom, and in the box labelled "New signature:" type:
{{User:Asqwde/minisig}}- Click "save", and your signature should be set. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 11:59, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
Good luck
Good luck winning the EW elections!
BTW, how much does your colourblindness effect you? 
78ch3 (talk | contribs) 22:07, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thank you!
- My colorblindness mostly affects anything involving color coding, or basically any art class. For example, GitHub issue labels are color coded, but the green and red labels look rather similar. However, in art class my colorblindness actually helps a little - since I see colors differently, I use colors in a way that others don't - so that makes my work stand out.
- Besides that, it doesn't really affect my life much. Just the occasional color mix-up here and there; I also make sure to give fair warning not to trust me on color decisions, since I'm not exactly the best person for that. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 06:42, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
How do you align an image?
I need to just quickly know how to align an image to the right for my userpage. As you do have the sidebars on your user area, I figured you knew a lot about HTML. 
ChromefoxTheAlmighty (talk | contribs) 12:14, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
- Do you mean just make an image float to the right? Use
[[File:IMAGENAMEHERE.ext|right]]. I recommend you read Help:Images as well. - Or do you mean make it stay on the right no matter where you scroll? Then you have to use this:
<div style="position: fixed; right: 0">[[File:IMAGENAMEHERE.ext]]</div>
- Hope I helped! kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 12:28, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
How do you categorize files?
I need a little help. How do you categorize files? Thanks.
Dilek10 (talk | contribs) 13:11, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
- Use
[[Category:Category name]]. Take a look at Category:Images for ideas on which category the image belongs to, but don't categorize the image under that category itself. Hope that helps! kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 14:30, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
Suggestion for your bot
Hi! I have a suggestion for your bot. It's small though. I think you should add dates for the {{In Progress}} template. This will make it so if someone puts that template there and then just leaves it there and forgets to take it off or something, and then they go inactive, we can see how long the template has been up. Of course, we could look at the page history, but it will make it easier with dates.
What do you think?

- Hey, that's a good idea! Actually, if you knew how, you could do it too lol. I'll go make the changes needed! kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 03:32, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Chinese Scratch Wiki
Just wondering, will the Chinese Scratch Wiki primarily be in the Traditional or Simplified Script?
UncommonOyster (talk | contribs) 13:51, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- We don't know yet! For now, we are writing articles in Simplified. However, I mainly write in Traditional, so what I do is write the article in Traditional, then use Google Translate to translate it to Simplified. However, I believe MediaWiki has a feature that allows conversion between different kinds of Chinese - I am still researching how to use it. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 13:57, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

You can delete now
I saw you put {{delete}}, but why? you can delete now because you became EW.
Apple502j Talk/Activities 2,243edit 08:37, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Protecting my talk
Hello there. Could you please protect my talk to EW plus protection. Thanks asqwde talk | contribs 09:25, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Faster way: put {{protect}} on the page
Apple502j Talk/Activities 2,243edit 11:02, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, EWs can’t protect pages - only admins can do that. You’ll have to ask an admin. Sorry! kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 12:49, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Urgent!
A urgent question. On the new wiki domain, my userpage and talk is wrong, my edit count is wrong and the scratch wiki news is incorrect! asqwde talk | contribs 16:11, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
Question
How do I add the UTC and date for my in progress custom signature? 78ch3 (talk | contribs) 21:03, 21 February 2018 (CET)
- First off - use CET, because that's where we are now, instead of UTC :P
- Second - I'm not sure what you're trying to do? Are you saying something like this? kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 06:29, 22 February 2018 (CET)
- Yes, that is what I mean. 78ch3 (talk | contribs) 08:05, 22 February 2018 (CET)

I'm new and have a question for you
What are the archives, and what do they do? What do you put in them? Also, what am I allowed/not allowed to do? Also, how do I make a logo?

- The Community Portal archives are simply pages that store old and finished discussions on the Community Portal - for example the first archive contains all discussions during May 2010. They exist simply so that other people can see what discussions took place during that time.
- For what you're allowed/not allowed to do, take a look at the Scratch Wiki:Editing Conventions and Scratch Wiki:Guidelines.
- As for a logo, that's entirely up to you! You can design your own logo. If you mean how do you get a logo in your signature, then unfortunately that's not possible right now - we're trying to figure out how to fix that without significantly slowing down everything. kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 06:38, 22 February 2018 (CET)
Compressing Files
How do you compress files? asqwde talk | contribs 13:35, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

I’ve seen (username removed) in some places in my watch list. I’m not sure who that user is. 78ch3 (talk | contribs) 05:14, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

History
Ken, is there any way of getting an older version of scratch wiki back?
-unsigned comment by NYCDOT (talk | contribs)
- Hi NYCDOT, looks like you forgot to sign your post, remember to use four tildas (
~~~~). - What do you mean by an "older version" of the wiki? kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 02:18, 14 March 2018
- First off, sorry that I didn't sign.
- What I mean by an older version is like how Scratch had version 1.4. Can you access a version of Scratch Wiki that is not up to date to just feel the history?
NYCDOT (talk | contribs) I AM THE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 22:15, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
- Oh. I guess you would use the Internet Archive for that, but you would likely need to use the old domain (wiki.scratch.mit.edu) rather than the new one (en.scratch-wiki.info). For individual pages you can also look at the history: click the pencil icon on any page, and click "History". kenny2scratch Talk Contribs Directory 01:00, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
