When was Arc added to the wiki?
Arc was deployed to the wiki in mid-July for different percentages of randomly-chosen users, and fully deployed for all users a few days later.
Not really.. The English Scratch Wiki has arc, but the others that i know of doesn't
Currently it is only deployed to the English Wiki. We may deploy it to other language Wikis if they have enough traffic to justify it, but don't have any concrete plans at this time. Currently Japanese has the second-highest traffic after English, so that would be the next Wiki to have arc.io enabled if we decided to do that.

whats arc?

arc.io is a content delivery network that basically will load stuff like images from the computers of other people viewing the site near you instead of the server, improving performance and reducing load on the server. See this Community Portal post for a lot more information

How does it work

SuperEzCook

how do you scroll down in signatures??

hi

I guess this is my signature
(to scroll down highlight this and hold shift and the down arrow)

when green flag clicked
set [awkward silence v] to [False]
forever
if <[awkward silence] = [True]> then 
slowly back out of the room
else
think [what do I say ?!] for (2) secs
wait (15) secs
set [awkward silence v] to [True]
end
end

check this out!

We do not add articles for Scratchers under most circumstances. Please see S:NOSP for more information.

Welcome to the public Scratch Wiki forum topic!

We recommend that before you post anything, you read the Community Portal archives to see if your question has been answered. There are also FAQs below.

Types of posts that are cool

Asking a question about the Wiki
Answering a question someone has asked
Constructive criticism on how the Wiki can improve (e.g. “I think this could be better like this” or “you're missing something here”)
General suggestions

Types of posts that don't go here

Anything not directly related to the Wiki does not go on this topic. Please post them in their own topics.
Questions about Scratch - please make a topic of your own in this forum, instead of posting here
Asking for help with a project - please make a topic in the Help with Scripts subforum
Suggestions for blocks to be added - please post in Suggestions
Account troubles (e.g. bans) - please use Contact Us instead of posting anywhere

Types of posts that aren't cool

Anything that doesn't follow Community Guidelines is not okay for here, including:
Disrespectful posts
Posts with inappropriate content
Spam or advertisements - keep that in the Show and Tell forum
Destructive criticism (e.g. “the Wiki is stupid!” or “my account request was rejected! you're the worst people in the world”)

FAQs

Q: I have a Scratch account! Why can't I sign in/edit the wiki?
A: You cannot edit/sign in because a Scratch account does not correspond to a Scratch Wiki account. You need to request for a Scratch Wiki account to edit. You can do so here: S:JOIN

Q: Why is the header color different than the Scratch header?
A: The Scratch Wiki is independently run, and is on different servers and a different domain. To distinguish the main website from the Wiki, the (default*) header color is different between the two sites.
* Logged in users are able to change the color of the header to their liking.

Q: How do I become an EW/admin/bureaucrat?
A: EWs are elected, usually every one to two years. Administrators are appointed by current administrators and/or bureaucrats, which typically happens during an election as well. Bureaucrats are either Scratch Team members or appointed (but far more infrequently - there has been a total of one occasion of bureaucrats being appointed in history).

This is a funny one, but please add a “scratchblocks mode <(scratchblocks mode on?) but true = off and false = on>” button to the page viewer. Example:

Well, they could add the “Users to be banned” page.

Again, no, because that would be public shaming, and blocks are to be private (only the EW+ and blocked user should know the blocked user is blocked, which is why the block log is private)

If you mean bans on the Scratch website, then this would be “naming and shaming” which is not allowed (all content on the Wiki needs to follow Scratch Community Guidelines). If you see anything inappropriate, report the content or use Contact Us if it needs more explanation than just a report. It is then up to the Scratch Team how to handle it, and what action they decide to take is their decision and also is to remain private. Discussing bans, asking for users to be banned, etc. is not allowed on the Scratch website, and thus by extension is not allowed on the Wiki.

If you mean users to be banned on the Wiki it's a similar situation. If a user is misbehaving, report any offending revisions and then the Wiki administration will take appropriate action, but whether or not the user is banned is only decided by bureaucrats and is not discussed publicly.

I know that the OP may not still be on Scratch, but they may want to separate spam, and advertisements, or at least specify that spam doesn't belong in SaT
