you can find inappropriate content on google.com. it doesn't have the same rules as scratch, so no. google also utilizes redirects which could simply redirect to an inappropriate site

Just because you trust these links doesn't mean Scratch in general should. You can also simply copy-paste links into the navigation bar.

As mentioned above, this doesn't really make sense. Pretty soon it's just pick and choose. Anything can be abused, and anything can be anything.

Yeah, that seems to be a better route to go.

Literally almost some links don't look or seem trustworthy to trust at all. Will Scratch think they're good to click on? No.

Yeah, I said them.
I don’t really support this suggestion unless it’s only links of websites that scratch *REALLY* trusts (ex: snap, scratch wiki) or sites scratch owns.

They don't trust them because they will get kids in some serious deep trouble, or something. It's happened before on several platforms, not a coincidence.

No support. If they aren't Scratch links, they aren't as trustworthy as a toothpick being pulled out from a jar.

Google's built-in search is widely known for very bad pop-ups and redirects to websites that you wouldn't know until you realize it's too late (not a good route to go on that), Tynker is another organization's coding website, and it's not 100% all educational, so why would ST does this? AbcMouse is educational, but I don't think the ST is up for partnership, yet, I think. TinkerCad, like the rest, isn't all educational either, in coding aspect.

The forums aren't social media, either. Just for interests beyond or in Scratch, or to discuss ideas, and whatnot. I don't mean spamming or using excessive scratchblocks, though.

Isn't this going a little off-topic?

I don't think Scratch Team will be happy when they get hundreds of reports saying that “Tynker is wasting all of our money! It's YOUR fault my kids got introduced to it.” (Tynker is for-profit, after all, which is a huge problem for Scratch) and Google has a lot of problems and is 13+ in the same way that YouTube (owned by Google) is.

Otherwise, TinkerCAD and ABCMouse have no reason for Scratch Team to partner up with, especially since no one is going to use the latter.

I do think Scratch websites (like Scratch Foundation and Scratch Wiki) should be clickable, though.

The Scratch wiki isn't a Scratch site (at least not anymore), it got transferred to the German Scratch Wiki community in 2018 (iirc).

Considering however it follows the Scratch guidelines and is widely recommended by Scratch Team members, I don't see why not.
