Merge with ScratchJr

~~It’s the same~~ Kyrgyzthefan (talk) 19:27, 29 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose: ...It's not. Although ScratchJr is a derivative of Scratch, they are both entirely separate applications and covered by sources as such. Some helpful person (talk) 03:42, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose: Scratch and ScratchJr are separate topics. Scratch came first and is more popular, so it makes no sense to merge Scratch into ScratchJr. Thegoofhere (talk) 23:49, 31 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change Scratch is a high-level, block-based visual programming language to Scratch is a block-based visual programming language to Windcircuit (talk) 20:52, 19 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Is there any issues with referring to Scratch as a high-level language? From my understanding, the visual-based interface does indeed abstract from the computer's internal instructions. — 🪫Volatile ^{📲T | ⌨️C} 01:53, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: No reason was provided for the proposed change. Day Creature (talk) 14:16, 20 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 25 September 2025

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Scratch (programming language). (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
