Hey folks, I've got one for you.
Presently there is very little GUI information available on the Wiki. I'd like to change that. I personally am not well versed in how GUIs function, and I think it'd be a good opportunity to look for another Wiki writer.
So, here it goes. Anyone who wants to enter the contest goes onto the unofficial Wiki and writes an article there.
http://roblox.wikia.com/
Then, when you think it's ready, post the link WITHOUT THE WIKIA.COM SECTION.
For example http://roblox.wikia.com/wiki/Instance_Hierarchy becomes /wiki/Instance_Hierarchy
You'll avoid any filter catches that way. Yes, this means that temporarily and specifically to roblox.wikia.com, so long as they remain in this thread, I am allowing outside links. PM me if this causes you any trouble.
This is open to anyone and I will see any entries and grab people that I feel can create well written articles on a wiki. This contest will run from now until next week, either Thursday or Friday, when I have another Wiki shift.
Don't worry too much about formatting or making it terribly pretty. Pictures are bonus points. For an example on how a tutorial should generally look, take a look at this models tutorial on the Wiki
http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php/How_To_Create_Models
Have fun! |

| Do you want us to include some examples of Gui scripts, or would you prefer if we just talked about how you can use certain events with Guis and provide a link to the Gui objects? |

MrDoom,
I'm quite familiar with how GUIs function. I will implement a GUI "Beginners" tutorial on the official Wiki as well. |

| What I'm looking for is an entire tutorial on how to create images, text, and maybe a simple button or two on every player's screen when they enter a game. Basic stuff. |

@AndrewTooCool
Graphical User Interface. Maybe you need to read the tutorial when it's done. =) |

@Camoy 4444 Posts. Cool. Also, with that pronoun usage, you'll need to get all your wiki submissions revised! :o |
