Thus, I feel this is a great time to tell them! Also, why would they want to write for the wiki if they don't contribute anything GOOD? Anyway, the purpose of the wiki in its current state and at the current time of the writing of this post is to simply document the Roblox Objects in the RobloxApp.exe file. Full documentation of the site is of a lesser priority, and thus must be done AFTER the completion of our first and foremost primary goal to document Roblox Objects, their properties, events and methods. I'm pretty sure this post was clear, and if you cannot understand this writing, then I will try to "dumb it down" for you.
You know what, let's just write the "dumb" version now:
Do not write personal pages on the wiki. Write pages that contain Roblox Object (Instance) information. Write pages about the site after writing pages about Roblox Objects.
The purpose and quality of the writers as a whole, collective group has virtually diminished with the addition of this new group. This trend better die out.
So, what do you say to this message, peers?

Why is it purely about roblox objects then? There are plenty of pages on scripting help and I was planning on writing a much needed tutorial on string patterns...

| Tutorials are good too. They are of a lesser priority than Roblox Object documentation, but still a priority. |

| Ideally the wiki should have up to date documentation on every object, event and method. |

| The only reason I joined the wiki was to write tutorials. I did a few, started writing a huge scripting guide, then got wrapped up in other stuff. I'm still working on it. |

So many times I will go on the wiki. Search up an object/method and get something that is out of date, incomplete or non existant.
Starting to think that maybe I should have applied. |

Ah, in any case, I did write a method page. I have a question, though. How do we update the class reference page? On Lighting it shows that GetMoonPhase isn't documented, but on the object page itself, GetMoonPhase actually IS documented. Is a redirect needed or something?

| Class Reference appears to be using an old version of the template. I can fix it. |

Theres 2 groups of wiki writers: -Scripters -Random nubs who have ability to produce good grammar and had a few skillfully assembled free model collections to show off
this is directed at the second group in a place with only members of the first group.
Also i was expecting more like
" The purpose of the wiki is to give us ability to get better quality images than those other narbs HA HA HA

| There are some people who are completely demolishing the whole style of the wiki. And there are some people who don't know how to display text properly and are [messing] up how good pages look. And then there are people who I think of as friends. Most of the people are friends, but a few of them are the first two. |

| Start a page linking to all the pages that need editing (not that redlink page). |
