Guide to Finding Duplicates
can i create a new version of this sticky?No, but thank you for the offer.
Do you think it'd be worthwhile to link the List of Commonly Suggested Ideas as an additional resource?Maybe? I can see how it could be useful, but I think the directory is a much more “in depth” resource with the exact same links to the exact same topics, and linking that topic may just be counterproductive. (If that's the right word).

I think it could be helpful as one of the first things you should check before going down the rest of the list..Do you think it'd be worthwhile to link the List of Commonly Suggested Ideas as an additional resource?Maybe?

For the Suggestions Directory part, maybe you should tell people to use the browser's find tool on there as well?

Good point. I will add it as a “pre-search” step, probably later today or tomorrow.I think it could be helpful as one of the first things you should check before going down the rest of the list..Do you think it'd be worthwhile to link the List of Commonly Suggested Ideas as an additional resource?Maybe?

I have a suggestion that can be added to this post: Translated versions of this topic.
It doesn't need to be added, but it is still helpful.
I can help out with the Dutch translation if you want

I have a suggestion that can be added to this post: Translated versions of this topic.You're free to do this, I think other languages are usually posted on that language's forum, in this case being the Dutch one. If there are several different translations I'll add a list in the OP, but just for one I don't think it's very necessary.

I have another method for finding dupes:
First, copy the link of the topic you want to find if there is any dupes.
Then, ask AI to help you find dupes.
After that, check if it is really a dupe because AI sometimes is wrong.
Next, copy the link of the dupe and post in on the first topic.
Lastly, report that topic and add the link.

I have another method for finding dupes:I think I'll pass on adding this. The methods we have actually work better with less a chance of failure. Plus, using AI is a controversial topic on Scratch and I don't want to be involved in it if I can avoid it.

Ok, l understand but it is actually a good method. You can try if you don't believe me.I think a better method would be avoiding the mistakes you admitted that AI is liable to make and instead using the methods in the OP, so I'll pass.
