Crummy Scratchers Wiki

The Crummy Scratchers Wiki (often abbreviated as CSW) was a Reception Wiki found on Miraheze. The wiki's primary purpose was to criticize various Scratchers so that they would be better people. Despite this goal, the wiki itself didn't do that and instead did the direct opposite by spawning flame wars throughout the Scratch community (notably the Object and Alphabet communities). Due to the wiki's overall controversial nature and failure of supporting its main purpose, the wiki's contributors were all blocked on May 29, 2020 due to gossiping which led to the wiki's closure.

Why The Wiki Was (Ironically) Crummy

 * 1) A main issue with the wiki was that most of the pages found on the wiki aren't really criticizing the users, but rather just simply describing the flaws of or nitpicking various Scratchers.
 * 2) *One of the most infamous examples of this issue is the page on Rainbowkid35. Most of his reasons aren't backed up with evidence.
 * 3) ** One pointer in particular calls his OCs "lame" despite one of the wiki's rules forbidding biased pointers.
 * 4) *Another example of this glaring issue is the page on CRRE2003_on_Scratch, where much like the page on Rainbowkid35, it's just minor nitpicks instead of actual criticism. It also doesn't help that both users mentioned here have one of their reasons as being "They are a White Kight of RebeccaSpark". Which is more of a nitpick instead of a genuine reason why they're on the wiki.
 * 5) Another issue with the wiki is that clichés are extremely common on the wiki and most pages will contain either "they are a white knight of Rebecca Spark", "They ruin other people's projects" or "they are an SJW", which can get very repetitive at times.
 * 6) Much like other Reception Wikis during mid-2020, the wiki was prone to overexaggerating.
 * 7) * The page on RebeccaSpark (also known as Naturecat1998) is by far the most infamous and nitpicky page on the entire wiki with the grand majority of her pointers having noting to do with her activity on Scratch and instead are about Fandom, YouTube, and Common Sence Media. This makes her page unsuitable for the wiki and more fits more on Atrocious YouTubers Wiki. Another thing to point out is that some of the reasons have nothing to do with her and are instead about her supporters (White Knights). It also doesn't help with the fact that her page has 56 reasons and only a single digit number of reasons have to do with her Scratch account making her page feel more like a nitpicky hate page as opposed to actual criticism.
 * 8) ** RebeccaSpark was actually on the Atrocious YouTubers Wiki once, but it got deleted for simply being too much of a hate page rather than just giving solutions to her flaws.
 * 9) * Another noteworthy page known for being overexaggerated is the page on Newhungrymosquito, which, albeit, isn't as overly exaggerated as RebeccaSpark's page, it still looks extremely unpolished and feels more like a whiny hate page as opposed to actual criticism.
 * 10) ** A notable pointer about Newhungrymosquito's page is that they claimed that disabling comments means that they're against criticism. This isn't always the case, as some people disable their comments because of spammers.
 * 11) Many pages on the wiki were unsourced,  which likely led to the assumption that the wiki was gossip.
 * 12) The concept of a wiki negatively criticizing Scratchers is overall a very poor idea even on paper as the grand majority of its userbase are either very young children or preteens.
 * 13) * The final nail in the coffin for the Crummy Scratchers Wiki is that the Scratch Team states many times that harassment both online and offline still violates the Community Guidelines no matter what.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) While most of the wiki is very flawed, there were a few okay-to-decent pages on the wiki prior to its closure, such as the page on Kaj.
 * 2) Shortly after the userbase got blocked on Scratch, they closed down the wiki and regretted their wrongdoings, which is a rarity among the user-based reception wikis.
 * 3) While this quality is debatable, the wiki would later lead to the creation of the Bad Scratch Wiki, which in turn caused Miraheze to create their "No Hate Wikis" policy, leading to the closure of The Outcast Network entirely.
