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.

Thanks for the official answer.

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

are blockspam, and must be reported.

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?
Yes that is correct.

Sorry for not saying what needed updating.

The page still needs updating.

Why is there so much activity suddenly?

This is a Signature

I have no purpose for this.

This is Entertaining

Probably because school’s out!

I’m Leila. I’m gender-fluid, so if my pronouns and name changes, my gender does too. I enjoy watching soccer, golf and car racing. My pronouns are flexible, but please don’t use it/its. Merry Christmas!

i would request the page “How to get Hidden Blocks” on the scratch wiki

gdxfor

This page is missing languages that can't be accessed with the dropdown, but can still be translated (Albanian, Esperanto, etc.) Same thing goes for this page incorrectly saying only 48 languages can be translated.

We already document that

I'll add that when I get the chance. Does anyone have a complete list of languages that are available not via the dropdown though?

We already say that “every year since 2020” and “However, the Scratch Team has added cat blocks for April Fools' Day every year ever since 2021.” Specifically saying 2022 seems redundant.

However, what @scratchgodo probably also meant is that there isn't a link to the 2022 April Fools' Day editor.
