That's the 1000th account, not account request.

We honestly have no idea who submitted the 1000th account request, as we have been through three generations of account request systems, each one using its own database tables. The second iteration in particular deleted all old requests after two weeks, so we have no record for that system (though there were far over 1000 requests in that system). The current iteration was implemented in September 2020, and account requests there started fresh at 1 (though the first request in the system was a test request submitted by an EW just to make sure the system was working properly).

As for your original question, as to who submitted the 1000th request on the current system (i.e. whose request would be at Special:RequestAccount/1000 and what their status of their request is), we cannot answer that question, as details for account requests are kept private between us and the account requestor. In fact, one of the important considerations in the current account request system was to ensure that, as the old system did not have an ability to comment on requests, so comments had to be left on profiles.

Documenting the Wayback Machine itself is beyond the scope of the Wiki. While the Wayback Machine can be used as a source if the original link for a source no longer works, what shows up in the Wayback Machine should not in and of itself be documented.

Please change the “Scratch Wiki:Administrators” page on the Scratch Wiki to make it describe the patrol right as “mark edits by a user as ‘reviewed’”, instead of “see what edits a user has made to a particular page”, which implies that the administrator right is needed to see user contribution pages.

I have updated it.

In case they had a Scratch Wiki account in multiple languages, which language did they have ID 1000? Also, how do I found a user ID (and username from each other)?

Bumping (bringing) up (or down the page, I guess?) my post.

I'll mention it on the Wiki Community Portal, but I'm not sure that it deserves an entire article since it was never actually released, and we are not the ScratchJr Wiki. It may deserve a section in Development of Scratch 3.0 though.

https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Image_Hosting#Host_List is wrong - you can't host all pictures on scratch.mit.edu, for example the messages icon.

I seem to be able to include the messages icon and “my stuff” icon.

Oh, that's the 2.0 one, hosted on cdn.
The 3.0 one, for example https://scratch.mit.edu/images/nav-notifications.png, is on scratch.mit.edu.

Oh, I see. I'm updating the article accordingly.

Can someone help me? I am trying to request my account on the wiki, when I try to comment my code in the comments it blocks it. I tried to refresh my code but am unsuccessful. Am I doing something incorrect?

When you say “it blocks it”, do you mean the word filter or something else? If it's the word filter, can you please post the code here so I can use this to help debug? Also, if you open the request form in an incognito or private window (depending on the terminology your browser uses), you will get a new code.

We have not received any requests from you. Make sure you follow all of the steps and get confirmation the form submitted properly.

Well, that's really odd, are you not supposed to use Private Browsing on your browser? or did the firefox auto password generator mess it up?
also, i even have a verification code: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10135908/#comments-199166568

Using private browsing won't affect anything as long as you properly comment the verification. The Firefox password generator also shouldn't cause any problems, as long as you save the password you used on your request.

However, the key here is you need to fill out your information, comment the verification code, write out your request notes, check the box indicating you have read and understand the account request instructions, and then actually submit the form. Once you submit the form you will see a screen indicating we have received your account request. If you do not see that screen, then you have not submitted the form properly.

Did you put your account request under another username? Is your caps lock on when typing your password? Did you request on a different-language wiki?

I requested on the english wiki with the username “kccuber”
a glitch might have caused the box to get unchecked. ffffff
also, i said the password was auto generated by firefox

If there are any errors submitting the form, it will show you the relevant error when you submit it and not show you the screen indicating that submitting it was successful.

Please read and correct any errors you get. The fact that the password was auto-generated by Firefox shouldn't affect anything.

It said that it submitted, though
