I figured a post was deleted, but I didn't think you could do that. Its because a post was deleted on like page 11, moving all posts back one.

Anyways, this is kind of obscure: even though you can't make sprites go all the way off the screen (if you wanted them to glide smoothly off) by default, if you're in vector, you can add invisible ovals on all sides (no fill, no stroke) and this will make the sprite able to go all the way off. (I actually recommend “padding” sprites like this, it tends to fix display glitches.)

That was kinda obscure, but one I think is pretty obscure is the
while loop
block, its not on the wiki and is a hidden block.
Btw, the wiki does show it, its just hard to find the page.

What are some of the most obscure Scratch features you can think of?
I LOVED the magic wand. It was a one reason I nearly quit scratch after 3.0YeahOh yeah, totally! Wasn't that like, the very last thing added to Scratch 2.0? I remember thinking when it was added, “I thought that Scratch 2.0 was finished and they had moved on to 3.0 at this point.” And they didn't even bring it back for 3.0 either. I thought the magic wand tool in the 2.0 paint editor was always a bit odd.
I had no clue how to use it… now I just use remove it.bg

I honestly didn't know anyone who actually used that incredibly buggy and laggy thing, let alone nearly leave Scratch over its removal. I LOVED the magic wand. It was a one reason I nearly quit scratch after 3.0
