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.
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?

Albanian, Armenian, Belarusian, Esperanto, Haitian Creole, Hindi, Kannada, Kurdish (Kurmanji), Latin, Macedonian, Malayalam, Maltese, Marathi, Mongolian, Telugu, and Uzbek is the complete list (I think). Please double check though, I might have missed something.

I have seen variations of this bug pop up before, so I don't think it's anything special to today. It also isn't a major enough bug (in my opinion at least) to get its own article.

So turns out I missed two, being Malay and Myanmar (Burmese), sorry about that. Turns out this link shows all of the available languages on Scratch.

The changes got reverted and it says “Reverted edit by anti-spam user” on the history section…

Edit: Never mind, seems like it was fixed

so, i wonder something… whats the point of using cookies for the wiki? i hear that theyre not very safe, and scratch is supposed to be as safe as possible. so, there must be a big reason behind the fact that you use cookies. but what is it?

I'm no tech genius, but I think they're to store data into your computer. Correct me if I'm wrong.

if they store data into your computer, that makes them even more secure, as you dont know whats coming in, and you're even MORE oblivious to what may be coming out…

Virtually every website uses cookies. The Wiki just uses cookies to store your session state (if it didn't, it wouldn't remember you were logged in if you went to another page). Cookies are only dangerous when they are used for things like tracking (think Google, etc.), but when just used for basic session state they are harmless and in fact essential for the functioning of the website.

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

ExampleScratcher2 (first post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
move (58) steps
play sound [Stock Laughter Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
forever
play sound [Stock Screaming Sound Effect HD - 1 Hour v]
switch backdrop to [internet v]
say [i broke the internet] for (2) secs
turn cw (15) degrees
go to [nearby restaurant v]
next costume
end

ExampleScratcher2 (second post) wrote:

when green flag clicked
repeat until <(out of dorito's) = [true]>
broadcast [eat dorito chip v]
end
say [IM OUT OF DORITO'S!!!!!!!!! :(]
play sound [Scream2 v] until done
forever
turn cw (120) degrees
play sound [Scream2 v]
play sound [we have no dorito's sorry v]
end

are blockspam, and must be reported.

what happens if someone changes their scratch username? does it affect the wiki account too or does it just stay like that?
The Wiki account would stay the same.

Eg:
Scratch username= User1
Wiki username= User1

But if the user changes theirs:
Scratch username= User2
Wiki username= User1

it dose not change unless you go in and do so

The Scratch Wiki logo should be edited to show the newer Scratch logo, the one that doesn't have the blue part.

Did the Scratch Wiki fix the request bug because I have trouble making a request it keeps saying Error 51# Code: 23156

Hello! I'm @Max_Playz236 (or Max for short). I'm an extrovert who loves to learn new things (especially in code), stay active and occupied, and play basketball.

I am not aware of any bugs being filed of this nature. Could you please elaborate what's going on here?

Every time I try to sign up my request is denied and it keeps saying Error 51#

That still doesn't really provide me any more useful information. Could you please provide a screenshot?

I do believe that most requests work fine. I’d there anything specific that might cause this issue that you know of? (cookies blocked, school computer etc.)
