Not needed as it is under Help as it has been already mentioned. Be really handy to have it in a sub-menu under Help with the other useful links in that section.

Hover over Help - click Wiki

That is usually how websites are created and programmed

Support for this, and About should also be relocated under the new Help submenu. That will also allow the search bar to be longer again.

If you can read this, my signature cubeupload has been eaten by an evil kumquat!

or you just used Inspect Element, you hacker

Total support. Would be very helpful for people who don't know that the wiki exsits.

If you're seeing this signature, that means I've come out of my social anxiety hole.

Also, I edit the Scratch Wiki. Check it out sometime it's cool I guess.

I support, although I may have already expressed this previously. Having a Wiki link would help a lot, and the Scratch Wiki is used very frequently and is very accurate to the site. I am also responding to a lot of concerns, regardless of age.

No support. To put the wiki button on the top bar, you'll have to remove/shrink the search bar.
Besides, wiki.scratch.mit.edu is a easy enough URL to remember.

Still, like going to the forums, navigating to helpful sources of Scratch information should be done in the navigation bar. Not to mention, a minor change in size orientation in the navigation bar wouldn't do too much harm.

And we can always put it on the left side of the search bar…

That's where it's suggested to be added.

No support. Firstly, adding the Wiki button needs redesign, and a button must be deleted or ST must change the search bar's size & combination for this. Secondly, the four buttons are needed, and search bar have a good combination. So I think we don't really need to change anything in the top bar. Um,

Maybe a noticeable link on the Front Page?

As I previously stated, a slight expansion to the navigation bar isn't that disruptive. Honestly, Help could possibly deleted. I respect the people who helped make the Help page, but the SW is a larger hub of information than Help. Shrinking the search bar wouldn't bother me too much, as long as it isn't the size of |————| xD.

“Oh no! I don't have any room on my top bar!”

(I believe a username can be up to 20 character long.)

Spreading the navigation bar in an outwards manner ( <<<|___|>>> ) would fix this issue.

Increasing the bar size would require a larger browser resolution (the bar is 940px) making Scratch hard to use on devices that have a smaller resolution, ie. My PSVita.
Yes, but it can be auto-fitted.

And maybe even optional to such small devices.

This should now be resolved by the development of Scratch 3.0. Scratch 3.0. will more cater to non-desktop computer devices, and as a result, make it more easier to add this suggestion in.

Sonickyle wrote:
You know what, why don't we just make the Help button a dropdown that has this:
Help
FAQ
Wiki
Contact Us

That's another good suggestion, however “Help under Help” isn't really a good-sounding sentence.

I did an Inspect Element of what it should look like if this was added:

I moved over the Scratch Logo a bit, and added one more <li> to the end of the row with a link to the Wiki

Doesn't look too bad, but the spacing around the search bar feels odd. However, the ST could most likely resolve that.

TimothyLawyer wrote:
Maybe a Search the Wiki button could be added to search results page. Or Go to Wiki button.

Having it in the search results page doesn't feel right, and unless the “Go to Wiki button” is there too, it's this suggestion.

The Mega Scratch Userscript has this little button on the extension (http://megascratchuserscript.github.io/, https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/57450/) . The extension is free and definitley wont bug anyone on the website so you can do this with extensions. Support anyways.

Extensions on Scratch are like modifications on anything else, it's nice to have people script additional content, but some content is better if it's already on the site for those who don't feel like downloading modifications or userscripts.

I'm sorry to not add anything here, but I was forced here…

Support.

That isn't really a constructive post, not to mention a weird one. xD

No support - For germans, the search bar is almost invisible (thanks, LiFay)

lol I should check it out.
Read my response to theonlygusti previously. Scratch 3.0 will cater more to mobile devices/differences in resolution, and I think a hamburger-like dropdown menu would be better for non-desktop resolutions.

Perhaps more constructive posts could help this suggestion?

While it isn't a requirement, it's more helpful if you explain why it is really needed.

I support! It could be on the front page as “Go to Scratch Wiki” with the logo and a bar running downwards with “Projects Recommended for You” or something like that

Do you need art, but can’t find the right people to draw it for you? https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/260469/ is the answer! In need of more artists!
If you’ve already got an art shop you can join my art shop and then post a link to your main one.
Thanks!

Support. I use the wiki a lot for references and this would be helpful. There's PLENTY of space at the top.

No support, as I said on another topic, new scratchers will eventually find out about the Wiki over time, right now, the new Scratchers might want to focus on coding.

under penalty of law this signature is not to be removed except by the consumer

But the wiki is a great place to help them with that coding!
