Today we have the 82nd edition of Wiki Wednesday for everyone!

English: Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode is triggered when the Scratch Team is modifying code on the Scratch Website. While in maintenance mode, the website is only available to Scratch Team members and a message explaining the situation is shown to all other users.

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…
… The original maintenance mode screen featured the Scratch Cat holding a drill?
… что в Скретч 1.4 значение эффекта «завихрение» не может быть больше 1 073 741 822?

When was this implemented?

I'm not sure. Last time the site was down it appeared so we can't be sure but likely about a year or two ago.

I think it looks cool!
