What are Scratch Wiki bans?

Bans on the Scratch Website do not apply on the Wiki. However, if a user is banned on the Scratch Website and continues their behavior on the Wiki, then they will also be banned on the Wiki.

Because all users on the Wiki must request accounts and there are fairly high standards to receive one, rude behavior and vandalism are relatively rare; this means that bans are also relatively rare. However, some bans have occurred because of vandalism, spam, or breaking rules. Only users in the bureaucrat group can ban users on the Wiki, but Administrators and Experienced Wikians that are not Bureaucrats can request someone to be banned. In addition, bans have occurred for other reasons that have nothing to do with offensive behavior, including switching accounts, among other reasons. The Wiki software that is being used does not have the ability to delete users, so they are banned instead. The software refers to it as a “block.” This only blocks the user from editing or performing any wiki option like moving pages, as if they were not logged in, whereas bans on the main site prevent the user from viewing pages.

What are Scratch Wiki bans?

It's really nice that you want to help out with a guide! However, we have a number of them in the forums already and we don't have a good way to showcase any more. If you want to make a guide in a Scratch project, that would be fine. You could advertise it in the “Show and Tell” section too.

There are lots of other ways to help out in the forums too. Helpful Scratchers are always welcome in the “Questions About Scratch”, “Help With Scripts”, “Requests” and other sections. Just look around and ask questions
