The Questions About Scratch Directory 3.0

By the way, I'm considering something here. What if instead of having a list of links and a list of answers, I have one list of answers that comes with a link, like @Za-Chary's TOLORS? This is quite a rapid change, so I want to hear some real feedback on this, but I just think it makes more sense that way.
That would make more sense, and users would understand it better.

Thanks, I totally agree. I want to hear more feedback first, though.

Awesome! Also, I have a suggestion: could you shorten the lines that separate the sections a little? About 3 characters seems to overflow to the next line for me, and I imagine even more on mobile devices. Ironically, this problem appears to have been first caused by me when I originally made the directory, oops. xD

It looks like it could help people find the source of a question and it looks more professional. I like the change.

The Questions About Scratch Directory 3.0

Alright, I'm done editing the directory for today, but I have made major updates, including:
  • Linking a topic for every question
  • Removing any questions that aren't asked frequently
  • Moving some questions to better-fitting sections
  • Making a new Section 7 for Scratch Wiki-related questions
  • Adding a disclaimer that this is a work in progress

I need a break for today, but by tomorrow the two lists will be merged completely.

I was working on that and then I kinda gave up. Go for it, if you want though! I'd be happy to help.

Wait, are duplicates a problem in QaS where there needs to be a Directory?

No, it's ok to ask the same question multiple times.

Possible typo?
Q: Why does the Scratch Team allow some bad words?
A: The words *, frick, *, LMAO, etc. are not considered offensive enough to be banned. Some more course swears would be reportable if used on the site.

Yep, it’s supposed to be coarse.

Finally, I am done merging the lists. The only thing left is adding on to Sections 1, 3, and 7 as they feel pretty empty.

And I've also decided: I understand this is also a directory, not just an FAQ, so I'll add any question if you can provide me the link, and if the answer is not ambiguous or controversial somehow.
