Only the Fandom one does. The SW was intentionally made not to show up, although in the visual editor > page settings, you can change the ‘showing up in search engines’ to ‘always’. Do not do this on pages other than your userpage, really, or maybe not even that. It was set as this for a reason.
This is misinformation. We accidentally blocked the Google crawler while combatting spam. Our absence from search results was a mistake. We think we have unblocked it, and Scratch Wiki results should be showing up again (they are for me, at least). The per-page indexing settings are irrelevant and shouldn't be used.

Yes, they are showing up now, maybe now Google will actually tell me the correct answers to my Scratch questions.

Oh, really? I thought it was on purpose. I guess I'm wrong.

Whelp it's now resolved

Yes, it's nice that Google tells me stuff from official sources now!

The wiki is down longer than usual…
It's so annoying.

So it's error 500.

But HOW are the servers VERY unstable? AI data centres?

I *think* it costs money and a lot of effort to keep servers up

He is saying about the 508 errors. While I got a 500 error. For me it's probably the first time for me seeing the 500 error.

If we leave him alone and appreciate is work he will get less angry.

Well, it's not the Admins/Bereaucrats that pay for it, so that must be ‘whateva’ with them.
Since the servers only need to be paid for once every few months or so, it's probably not that.

Maybe all of the servers in Germany are broken?
Maybe an Evil Kumquat is using them as a snack?
Only Arnold Scratch Catfoodus Frishloovan Bagundis Qandijus Ivilos Mjeow Shamshung III shall ever know…

But at least it works again.

Should there be a technical restrictions template? I'm planning on creating a page about wrgsfhwbxvb (the first Scratch account), but the page will be called Wrgsfhwbxvb due to the fact that every page has to have it's first letter capitalised. The template could be like the {{Correct title}} template on Wikipedia.

That topic seems sadly to be not notable enough and there isn't a lot of information about it.
I think that you shouldn't make it.

Topics about users are not allowed on the wiki.

Sorry for being off topic, but a user named SmartSandWing9II keeps spamming order requests for a video which is not family-friendly on my shop and chatroom. They are also beginning to harass me. When I report something to the Scratch Team, I only receive an unhelpful bot response.

Use Contact Us.
I saw the comments; it must be really annoying.

You should also temporarily disable comments in your chatroom.

stasiu2015

I did report them via Contact Us and every time I use Contact Us, I receive a generic bot response telling me to report them. I will not report them, since the ST doesn't notice my reports.
