They are useful for providing background on a concept, such as a Menger Sponge.

Currently they are not allowed. Why? Because there is "a chance" that it will be inappropriate.

Wikipedia links should be allowed. YouTube links are allowed, and are much worse than Wikipedia articles. I used the function for a random article on Wikipedia, and 109/110 times it was fine for all audiences.

While a video on YouTube may be appropriate, most of the time the comments on the video are certainly not. Just like YouTube links, inappropriate Wikipedia links can be reported.

Bottom line: Allow Wikipedia links, because they are no worse (in fact, much better) than YouTube links, which ARE allowed.

You could consider allowing Wikipedia links.

They aren't going to do it because Wikipedia allows you to search up everything and alot of it isn't for roblox's audience.

@wein

The same is true for YouTube, which IS allowed. Inappropriate links can be reported, which is the same protocol for YouTube links.

@voltor

The same is true of YouTube. That IS allowed, though.

I don't see how Wikipedia is any different.
