Regarding the Scratch 3.0 problem, while writing a forum post I was prepared to post on a modding thread on scratch.mit.edu, I think I realized what's going on.
I'm sourcing scratch-gui from the monorepo, but other dependencies from NPM, and scratch-editor and scratch-www might even use different versions! The offending fetch-worker.*.js file is from another dependency, scratch-storage!!!
So now I think I now how to fix everything, and will try tomorrow. Anyway I'll go to bed now.

how did you get scratch membership themes for free here @chipmunkmc

So, like, would it just throw errors whenever it hits a 3.0 block? That would kind of ruin the immersion, wouldn't it?

Fair enough

There's no need to be sorry, that's just how designing things work. Someone has an idea, someone else gives feedback.

how did you make every user get scratch membership for free?

Pretty sure I patched out the membership check for that theme, I don't remember the specifics.
If you want you can read the code, which is avaulable at here.

Also, please don't fill this thread with inane questions and requests, as you seem to always do.
Instead, consider making threads in these forums:
* Questions about Scratch
* Requests
* Suggestions
The advanced topics forum is meant for technical discussion, and this thread is meant for such discussion about developing the website. Unless you're here to assist in said development, GTFO.

I cannot find a scratch-editor commit with scratch-gui version 12.6.4, amazing!

And now I'm unsure if it's a version issue, and scratch-editor (at least the version I have) does not actually seem to bundle a scratch-storage version in the monorepo, oof…
Shit has really hit the fan, I don't know what else to say.

sh: line 1: husky: command not found

At this point I should probably just ask about the matter on scratch.mit.edu's forums.

I know I'm late but I'm afraid I'll get b& (or alerted or something like that) from scratch.mit.edu if I link to repos with "scr.chipmunk.land" in the name… meh I'll probably post it anyway.
Edit: https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/289503/?page=38#post-9118759 here goes nothing!

Perhaps it's because scratch-www explicitly specifies a version of scratch-storage, despite it being depended on by scratch-gui already. I ran npm run start, let's see if it works in the first place this time.

Well I re-added the dependency, perhaps something will magically change now.

Now scratch-render won't build (needed for scratch-vm which has the extension-worker)

Finally, scratch-www works again!!! Except the fetch-worker script needs to be copied to another folder manually for some reason…
Also a while ago I created a merge commit that changed a bunch of things, except I see no new commits preceed it; no idea what I did that night when I made it…
I'll need to be less lazy and be more careful with testing updates now, I suppose.

Congrats!

chipmunkmc

Thanks! Also I updated the fork's README.md to include the current instructions, which I might be able to reduce later. Also, I may try to use workspaces instead of npm link again (last time failed due to the canvas issue, it was unrelated to me using workspaces).

Also there's a wiki at http://wiki.scr.chipmunk.land/ now! It currently lacks some extensions and has no templates (which I might try to import from en.scratch-wiki.info later) though.
I may try porting the old skins to latest LTS MediaWiki later; fortunately I have some experience with porting modifications to old MonoBook to the latest version of the skin, and it seems the ScratchWikiSkin-1.x skin is based on it.

It seems like someone has already done that: https

/github.com/Mrcomputer1/ScratchWikiSkin-1.x-Updated, though, if I remember correctly, it requires a few modification to run on the latest MediaWiki version without throwing errors/warnings.

Edit: I really need to fix forum links

It's quite amazing how https://r2.scr.chipmunk.land/ (and scratchr2's frontend code in general) can load projects on IE8 and IE9, and the site in general works somewhat well on the latter.
Even this forum works on it, although it is quite glitchy.
