Talk:Blockly

Scratch & Blockly

"Resembles Scratch" is not very informative, needs a comparaison chart. Openblocks needs a definition, since the page is shown in red. The article should redirect or include an history of block programmation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A01:E35:8A8D:FE80:3019:ECC8:7B1:EB9D (talk) 02:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Subjective assessments like "X is similar to Y" actually need an independent source to verify them (to avoid any form of original research). GermanJoe (talk) 21:54, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

"Resembles Scratch" is also problematic given that Scratch 3.0 is Blockly (https://developers.googleblog.com/2019/01/scratch-30s-new-programming-blocks.html). It's a bit like saying "Fruit resembles banana".

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Blockly. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20150625024053/http://lab.open-roberta.org:80/ to http://lab.open-roberta.org

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

• If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.

Maintenance and rating of JavaScript articles

Concerning editing and maintaining JavaScript-related articles...

Collaboration...

If you are interested in collaborating on JavaScript articles or would like to see where you could help, stop by Wikipedia:WikiProject JavaScript and feel free to add your name to the participants list. Both editors and programmers are welcome.

Where to list JavaScript articles

We've found over 300 JavaScript-related articles so far. If you come across any others, please add them to that list.

User scripts

The WikiProject is also taking on the organization of the Wikipedia community's user script support pages. If you are interested in helping to organize information on the user scripts (or are curious about what we are up to), let us know!

If you have need for a user script that does not yet exist, or you have a cool idea for a user script or gadget, you can post it at Wikipedia:User scripts/Requests. And if you are a JavaScript programmer, that's a great place to find tasks if you are bored.

How to report JavaScript articles in need of attention

If you come across a JavaScript article desperately in need of editor attention, and it's beyond your ability to handle, you can add it to our list of JavaScript-related articles that need attention.

Rating JavaScript articles

At the top of the talk page of most every JavaScript-related article is a WikiProject JavaScript template where you can record the quality class and importance of the article. Doing so will help the community track the stage of completion and watch the highest priority articles more closely.

Thank you. The Transhumanist 01:06, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

Programming language?

French Wikipedia considers Blockly a programming language. It sounds right since it's like the Scratch visual programming language. --إلياس الجزائري^Elias 13:19, 23 May 2017 (UTC)

No. Blockly is absolutely not a programming language. Most of the applications built on Blockly (such as Scratch or Blockly Games) are programming languages. Blockly itself has no grammar. Blockly is a library that may be used by developers to create programming languages. Source:

"Blockly is not a programming language, one cannot 'run' a Blockly program. Instead, Blockly can translate the user's program into JavaScript, Python, PHP, Dart, or some other language." https://developers.google.com/blockly/guides/get-started/web
