The Scratch Wiki is a wiki documenting information about the visual programming language Scratch. It was founded on December 6, 2008 on Fandom by a user named LukeTek. It was moved to Scratch's servers on June 3, 2010, and then to its own servers on February 6, 2018.[1]
Why We're Glad to Imagine, Program, Share
- The wiki uses a unique account requesting system based on improving wiki pages. This effectively eliminates common wiki problems (such as vandalism, impersonation, etc.), although it makes it harder to contribute to the wiki.[2]
- Many of its articles are informative, well-written, and supported by references; for example, the scratch cat,[3] or this.[4]
- The wiki's community is very constructive and helpful, especially to new users.
- Every year on April Fools' Day, the wiki shows joke versions of its pages,[5] which are hilarious.
The Only Crummy Quality
- There's no process for deleting articles, so pages that may not be useful often remain for years.[6]
