I've noticed that when a project gets unshared, its remixes no longer have the “original project” section, which just makes the remix look like it was originally created. This can lead to some issues, including confusion over who created the original project and crediting the remixer for things that the original creator made.

I think there should still be a “original project” section in these cases, but with a notice that the original project(s) have been unshared. This can be as simple as just a box of text reading “Original project has been unshared”, or that it looks identical to the “Thanks to x for the original project: y”, but with “(unshared)” at the end.

It's a minor thing, but I find it somewhat annoying; on my main account, I recently redid a project that I remixed, only to find that the project and original account seems to be completely gone. I tried a link to their account with “projects” at the end, and still got the error message.

Pretty sure this is a duplicate

I think this is a problem because there is a lack of credibility when the original project gets taken down. In my old Scratch account, “YoloSwago,” I have shared a project that had 20,000+ views, and I have gotten a lot of remixes out of that project. I deleted my account after a few days, which I regret, and also deleted my projects too. The remixes of my project still remain and most of them don't have any sign of credibility of me.

The project is called “Mazda MX-5 Miata ND” if anyone is wondering to check out the issue through the Scratch searchbar.
