Im not sure if Wiki Contributors can edit the Wiki logo. Maybe contact a higher-up to see if anything could be done, but I really don’t think anyone is changing the logo because the current Logo is not new and they have kept it like that for awhile.

There isn't really a need for a new logo; ours is fine the way it is. It's modeled after the Wikipedia logo (which the proposal drops) and includes the Scratch Cat.

Huh, I thought there was a similarity.

Ooh yay, I saw the discussion in the wiki community portal. I think this is a great idea!

Could I get an update on whether or not the “Add yourself/your OC singing (FNF song)” trend is a trend?

Also, for the PFP trends, would the sharkyshar PFPs count as a trend, too?

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 ban.
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 irrelevant 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

Any specific info you are asking to be updated? I’m pretty sure that was only for April Fools, so I’m not sure if there is any problems with the current page.

Is this because this article doesn't include a link to April Fools' Day 2022, nor does it mention anything about Cat Blocks existing for April Fools' Day 2022?

Hi there! I've noticed that the images for both the message that appears when a project breaks the community guidelines and the message that appears when a project is permanently unshared both use the 2.x style design. Since project pages have been updated to the 3.x design, I'm wondering if someone who has the correct tools (e.g. Paddle2See) can use this example wiki documentation project and then proceed to give me the message and permanently unshare it? And then preferably tell me how to update an image

Yes that is correct.

Sorry for not saying what needed updating.

You will need to contact the ST directly to get them to censor a project, either by commenting on one of their projects or profiles or Contact Us.

Aaah, everyone's posts keep being dustbinned, so whenever I click on the Last Post, it sends me to the 403 page!!!

Should there be a page article for talking about the #ConsiderCollabs suggestion, or should it be on the Scratch Timeline page?

It's not notable enough for its own article, but we do mention it here. We wouldn't add it to the timeline until the change is actually made though.
