Scratch Wiki Community Portal - in the forums!
You're welcome to ask in other parts of the Discussion Forum such as Things I'm Making and Creating; I'm sure there will be others interested in “Scratch lore”.I understand. Thank you for hearing me out. How can I find people to research more on Scratch “lore” for my projects? Is there anywhere else that is documenting the same things that I am?The Scratch Wiki only documents real-life events and phenomena relating to the main Scratch program and website. All of your statements about lore have not been confirmed by the Scratch Team (unless you're willing to provide a source), and thusly, are not documented on the wiki; if we were to allow unofficial “lore” onto the wiki, things would quickly spiral out of control as anyone can just put up some random statement without the need for any backing. The Super Scratch Programing Adventure lore would also not qualify as something that can be added to the wiki, because it is not connected to the Scratch Team in any capacity and is thus unofficial. It would be like me making up a story about a love tale between Gobo and Nano and post it online; it would have no basis against any official statements the Scratch Team has made.there is a lot of lore in Scratch.scratch does not have lore, other than scratch cat is non-binary Request a section in the wiki that covers what the lore of Scratch (Example mascots in training). to encourage the discovery and creation of more lore.
just to name a few:
deleted sprites go to MIT which in their world is called Mascots In Training.
There are multiple places named in the series “Scratch Mystery” made by people hired by the Scratch team. Scratch country, NFE land, and Banland. not verry creative names but someone out there might use these for their stories.
Kaj was became a running joke even by the moderation team. Making her turn a new leaf as Kaj the moderator.
And that's not even counting Super Scratch Programing Adventure which talks about cyberspace, the cosmic defenders, and the “secret manual”.
There is a lot of official approaches you can do for Scratch lore (some of them contradicting each other) it's just hard to find.

it's definitely not a “heaven”; tons of posts on this forum get deleted for spam why s this a safe haven for spam
anywaysTypes of posts that don't go here
Anything not directly related to the Wiki does not go on this topic. Please post them in their own topics.
- Questions about Scratch - please make a topic of your own in this forum, instead of posting here
- Asking for help with a project - please make a topic in the Help with Scripts subforum
- Suggestions for blocks to be added - please post in Suggestions
- Account troubles (e.g. bans) - please use Contact Us instead of posting anywhere
- Tests of the block plugin or blockspam - please use the dedicated topic
Types of posts that aren't cool
Anything that doesn't follow Community Guidelines is not okay for here, including:
- Disrespectful posts
- Posts with inappropriate content
- Spam or advertisements - keep that in the Show and Tell forum
- Destructive criticism (e.g. “the Wiki is stupid!” or “my account request was rejected! you're the worst people in the world”)
the reason so many people spam is because it's the first link on the Questions about Scratch forum, and people can't quite seem to figure out you're supposed to press the “New Topic” button to start a new topic

LIST-BASED Grid Movement:
I noticed that there is a lot of pages mentioning “Grid,” or: “Lists”
But I never found a single List-Based Movement System!
Why is this? Lists are used all the time around Scratch, and I believe it needs to go into WAY more detail on every single page related to this topic.
The Concept of Recursion
This would be helpful in a lot of things, especially lists. It would also easily introduce newer Scratchers to more complex topics, without them getting intimidated. It is easy enough to program, but very powerful, and a bit difficult to wrap your head around, but not too bad with some practice implementing this into projects!

$30/hour for 40 hours/week and 50 weeks/year is $60,000 per year. We unfortunately don't have that kind of money lying around. Maybe we may need a professional engineer to fix some games of wiki maybe 30/hr? What do you think?

Good developers are expensive. Source: I'm a good developer (yes I may be a little biased here) and I get paid more than $2/hour.how about $2 per hour?$30/hour for 40 hours/week and 50 weeks/year is $60,000 per year.

That's well below United States federal minimum wage (which is 7.50/hour, it's higher in many states).how about $2 per hour?$30/hour for 40 hours/week and 50 weeks/year is $60,000 per year.

Besides, don't we already have @jvvg…? I mean, they're not necessarily being paid for it, but they're a good dev.
