I don't think you can get chocolate coins by looking at the bottom of the page… But I got a cookie yesterday… =P

Hello All!

Why isn't there a link to the wiki in the top blue bar, instead of being “Buried” at the bottom of the page?
If you're going to say “Well, firstly, no one uses the wiki” that is exactly the problem! It's like a secret because it's almost hidden at the bottom of the page, where no one looks

Here's a screenshot of what it could look like see the Learn? well that's the wiki

Want a closer shot?

Support! The Wiki is a very useful source of info.

If you support, it should be +1. If you don't, it should be +0, not -1. If you half-support, it should be +1/2 or +0.5, not +0. You can't subtract from the supporters.

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.

No I don't make projects anymore. I left some time ago.
I only check the forums every now and then, but other than that consider me retired.

I don't think I've ever supported for the top bar. Maybe a noticeable link on the Front Page? I'm having a hard time deciding what that would look like..

i have grown as a person. and ive grown, literally. none of my posts from before 2022 represent me accurately.

There's plenty of room to move the bar over to the right a little more. Besides, a wiki link would be way more helpful than that search bar.

Maybe it could be “Learn” or something like that.

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

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,

Not true. Did you know that only about an 8th of account requests get accepted, and there's still 940 accounts? ;) Also, what about the 300 edits that happen there daily…?
The Wiki is already very popular, no support.

hey bro that's a pretty good meme xD!

I support that - there was a section on the front page that was called “Scratcher's Wiki” in 1.4 with a link to it.

I support. There's lots of room to the left of the Scratch logo, so if you moved it a little to the left then you will be able to fit a button in for the Scratch Wiki.

This signature is inside the stomach of Timmy the kumquat. If you can see it, then you are in there too.

Actually, I've kinda changed my mind. Even though the Scratch Wiki is already very active and pretty popular, we could always use some new and awesome helpers who probably won't ever get as active as I am, but that's a good thing who would help out that wiki.

Wanna see something? ;3

Does everyone have empty space to the right of the search bar? Because if they do then the search could shift to the right and Wiki could be next to Help.

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

or you just used Inspect Element, you hacker
