Today we have the 90th edition of Wiki Wednesday for everyone!

English: Extension

An extension is a category of blocks that can be added to the Block Palette and extends the scope of the Scratch editor. Extensions make it possible to connect Scratch projects with external hardware (such as LEGO WeDo or micro:bit), sources of information on the web (such as Google Translate and Amazon Text to Speech), or blocks allowing for more advanced functionality.

What is the Scratch Wiki?
The Scratch Wiki is a collaboratively-written wiki available for free that provides information about the Scratch programming language and its website, history, and phenomena surrounding it. The wiki is supported by the Scratch Team, but is primarily written by Scratchers. The Scratch Wiki is a popular source of information for scripts and tutorials, and it continues to grow as Scratchers use it as their primary source of information. This could also include advanced articles for Scratchers around the world to build, share, and see.

There are many languages which do not have a Scratch Wiki! If you know a language without a Wiki, then you can help create one. Learn more here! We are looking for native speakers in a certain language and do not require any applicants to have a perfect grasp on the English language.

By the way, did you know…
… Several features that are now extensions were originally available by default, such as the pen blocks?

A big thank you goes to jvvg for organizing this Wiki Wednesday and writing the post. Credit to Yummygum on iconfinder.com for the flag icons!
