40 posts? Is it replies or what? The suggestion has now reached more than 40 replies.

The 7th Suggestions Directory

Read Before Posting!

Do not post your suggestions here. The Scratch Team only looks at suggestions which have their own topic. Make a new topic instead.

If you want to add a suggestion to the list, it must have more than 40 posts. If it has enough posts, it should be in the top unsorted down below. You must also follow the directions later in the post.

Introduction

This is a list of topics which are frequently suggested or have a lot of posts. You can use this topic as a tool to make sure you don't suggest something which already has a topic.

Try searching the topic with your browser's search tool. Usually, pressing Ctrl+F or Cmd+F will open a search box.

You may also want to checkout The Official List of Rejected Suggestions to make sure that the Scratch Team has already decided not to accept your idea.

Adding topics

If you would like a topic to be added, copy and paste the bbcode template below and make a post with information about the topic. It must match exactly because I use a script to generate the topic. The topic should be on the top unsorted list. If it is not, it probably doesn't have enough posts to go in the directory.

Links to topics can either be a full url or just the number at the end.

Example (NOT the template):

Topic: scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/657522/
Category: blocks, projects, studios, forums, comments, messages, profile, other, or safety
Description: Short, one line description of topic.
Keywords: Flag, Cats, Event

Template (copy paste):

[b]Topic:[/b] 
[b]Category:[/b] 
[b]Description:[/b] 
[b]Keywords:[/b] 

Categories

Each suggestion in the directory is in a category. If you have a suggestion in mind, try looking for it in the category it fits best in.

Code & Blocks – Suggestions about blocks, cloud, and extensions
Projects – Suggestions about other project features
Studios – See also: Suggestions for studios
Forums
Comments
Messages – Suggestions about messages and notifications.
Profile Page
Miscellaneous – Other suggestions or suggestions about the whole site
Site Safety – Suggestions about security, moderation, and rules
Top Unsorted – As of yet uncategorized suggestions with the most posts

How I Made This

When originally creating this directory, I decided I wanted to change the format of how each post looked. However, due to the massive number of posts in the directory, I quickly realized that this would be pretty difficult.

To avoid the repetitive task of writing nice bbcode for each suggestion, I created a Python script to do all of the hard work. I imported the previous directory into a SQLite database. Then, I created some templates for the directory, and wrote Python code to generate bbcode. Then voila, nicely formatted bbcode for the directory. I copy paste this generated bbcode when I edit each post to update the directory.

To further enhance the directory, I pulled data from ScratchDB. This allowed me to get accurate details about topics, such as the owner of the topic, the current title, the creation date, and the number of posts. The number of posts was particularly helpful, as it seems to be a reasonable metric to determine how popular a suggestion is. I use this to sort the lists and to generate the top unsorted list which highlights suggestions which might be good to add to the directory.

If you want to replace me as owner of this directory, include the word “kumquat” when asking on my profile so I know you read this. Note that I am not currently looking for a replacement, however. With a script to generate bbcode for everything, maintenance is not very difficult. I just have to run my scripts then copy paste all of the bbcode.

Special thanks to dertermenter for permission to make the next topic. This directory will be based on the 6th directory to begin with. See the 6th directory for additional credits.

Thanks to DatOneLefty for providing ScratchDB. I use scripts to get information about each topic from ScratchDB.

Thanks to SavetheAtlantic for the idea to make a Top Unsorted suggestions list.

tl;dr

if <you have a suggestion ::operators> then
create a new topic, don't post it here ::motion
end
if <your suggestion isn't here ::operators> then
if <the suggestion is in the unsorted list ::operators> then 
follow the directions up above ::motion
else
wait until <your suggestion has more posts ::operators>
end
end
