Maybe make your userpage here or press this link to find a random page and see if you can make some constructive edits.

You can find a bunch at this category (go into the subcategories to see what sort improvement they need).

Can you do how to make ther enemy fight back page?
That's probably too vague a topic to make into an article.

I would agree on it being too vague, but i would try adding , If <touching > then, If ((var=attacklimit)=10)or(var=attackspeed<10),Change (PlayerHealth) by (Negative Number). I recommend using a random number generator for that. Any level requirements or anything like that must be added separately as variables and if statements. Yes, I know ScratchBlocks exist but I’m still used to typing code. Maybe next time just post your questions in the corresponding forums.

you have to:
Have a verified email address.
Have at least 2 shared projects.
Have been on Scratch for a certain amount of time (at least 2 weeks, but usually 1 month).
Be active on the website. This is a big part of becoming a Scratcher. Sharing projects regularly can be a way.
Have comments and/or forum posts. (This is not necessary, but it does help.).
Love and favorite Scratch projects.

Do the “Add Yourself/Your OC Singing (insert song name here)” projects count as a project trend?

3 forum tips for experienced forumers (in no particular order):

If you are reporting a new forumer's topic to be closed, or moved to another forum, don't mention it, because then, the topic creator will think they will receive either an alert or a block.
New forumers won't immediately know the rules or terminology of the forums. I have seen this happen hundreds of times (exaggeratedly), especially when experienced forumers (I won't name any) tell new forumers that they are "necroposting", which is when someone posts on an old and resolved topic (especially in the Questions about Scratch forum), causing said topic to be moved to the front page of that forum.

Using Scratchblocks as a writing style is not blockspam, unless it is not relevant to the discussion. For example, this

ExampleScratcher1 wrote:
How do I make a smooth gliding animation?
when green flag clicked
repeat until <(my question) = [answered]>
ask [How do I make a smooth gliding animation?] and wait
end
say [Thank you!]

is not blockspam, but these

Hmm, not sure. There is quite a lot of them but I don't know if it's quite a trend. It would probably be ok to put it in the project trends article however.
Any other thoughts?

I might start a discussion on its talk page.

Actually I think this may be fairly similar to a concept that was already mentioned here but could do with expansion or maybe, as you said, its own section.

here's the dead link, I don't have the link to the current one, which is why I'm asking it to be changed instead of just changing it myself

I don't think the old link would die without the wiki moving, unless the entire toki trend died
