As I have stated a number of times before, it is not that simple. There are legal and administrative obstacles.

Fandom is more popular, so I think scratch should stay there

Fandom was where the scratch wiki originally started if I remember correctly but it moved due to the ST’s concerns surrounding fandom.

Yeah… It doesn't have too good protection other than protected pages. I'd know, since I saw the KinitoPET wiki die for a bit.

To any non-wiki editors

If you have been on the scratch wiki and have seen an article that isn’t accurate (and easily fixable because most of the time stubs are niche ), please tell me; I’ll try fix it.

I’d also like if you have further information on that topic to add as well.

Thank for taking the time to read this; have a good day!

Dearest wiki users,

I come to you for a humble request that thy wiki writers would be so kind to add the fandom “country balls” to the the media franchises on the controversy page of the wiki

Now you may be pondering to yourself “why does thy wish for a fandom to be added to the media controversy page”, and I will simply answer that now

Recently I have noticed a rise in forum topics wishing to know whether or not of thy fandom was banned or not, and the general consensus was that the fandom is banned for racial stereotypes. An example for this is that American country balls usually have an addiction to the metallic ranged weapons known as guns.

Now this may lead to you further pondering “but thy fandom is not controversial?”, I only answer that while yes not controversial in the community. We do have to bring up that it would fit to add into the page to inform people. You see while fandoms like SG and HH are banned because of how inappropriate they are, so much that thy isn’t even allowed to be mentioned on wiki, and fandoms such as FNAF and Sprunki are banned for gore, but are allowed to be mentioned. I believe country balls should be therefore added because they are partially in a middle ground of the two sides

(What I said but not in a fancy way)

Hey can you add country balls into the media franchises part of the controversy page. I keep seeing topics about it being banned for racial stereotypes. For example the American country ball really likes guns. And since it’s in a sort of middle ground (it’s kinda really bad but not too bad that it can’t be mentioned) I feel like it should be added

sorry to ask again, but if you wanted to sign into your wiki account, but can't because you lost the password to your scratch account and had no email attached to the wiki account, could you make another one under a different name?

No.

Why did my message get deleted?, I was giving an example of a topic I was talking about in my previous message about adding countryballs to a section of the controversy page?. That kinda makes no sense to me, like I was on topic (giving a link for my idea to add countryballs to the Controversy page to the scratch wiki after someone told me that the wiki needed examples for it) so I genuinely don’t know what I did to cause the message to get deleted

Hi everyone,
I'm currently working on the server issues. No ETA but hopefully soon-ish.

In the meantime, I want to remind everyone of a few things. I wrote a Community Portal post about this last time we had a major downtime incident, but can't link to it due to the server downtime. I'll give a quick summary while I wait for a diagnostic script to finish running:
I'm working on it
Receiving comment after comment about it does not make me fix it any faster - please look at the forum topic and see if anyone else has already posted before posting yourself, and the same on my profile
Making jokes about it, saying things like “the server runs on a potato”, does not motivate me to fix it and actually has the opposite effect
Remember that I'm not paid for this
Don't spread misinformation or speculation
As much as offers for help are appreciated, unfortunately it's a lot more complex and difficult than a lot of you think (see the links in my next bullet point)
I cannot give more information due to both the sensitive nature of some stuff and the fact that people often tend to overestimate their abilities and focus unnecessarily on things that they understand when they aren't actually the important things
We are stuck with the setup we have due to a bunch of reasons, many of them legal/administrative and not technical

Hi everyone,

The Wiki is back up. However, please be aware that a large number of posts on the topic does not make it get fixed any faster. If someone has already posted and you don't have any additional information, please don't make further posts, it just means more that I have to wade through.

I can't seem to find your message and I definitely remember the post. My best guess is that either an admin deleted the revision history (in which case they should have communicated that to you) or the server had be rolled back for some maintenance reason

did they redesign the 503 error page?

Hello, to the maintainers of the scratch wiki page. Thank you very much for your time and effort towards the wiki site.
I would like to inform you that when I try to access the en.scratch-wiki.info site it returns a “MediaWiki internal error.” page. This same error occurs for all of the other language sub-domains.
Sorry if someone has already posted about this, I checked but didn't find a post mentioning it.

Thank you,
idu-who
