I think it would be useful to let the readers know that string functions can be used as methods, too.

string.len
What does string.len do? string.len returns the amount of characters in a string.

Example
soul = "Wuzzup Broski?"
print(string.len(soul))

> 14

string.len can also be used in the form of a method.

Example
soul = "Wuzzup Broski?"
print(soul:len())

> 14

Yeah.

string.len is sort of deprecated, but I don't think the ROBLOX Wiki administrators will do anything about it.

I'm really starting to regret not signing up to become a Wiki writer.

Suggestion: Make the scripting book better.

There's already a cookbook that gives you instructions on creating a bunch of different things, but it seems that you're TRYING to create an actual scripting guide. It ain't workin'. I looked through it and saw several mistakes, and it just ain't very good.

My meanness allows me to delete your entire scripting book. Of course, you could easily just get the old revision back. But still, the point stands >:|

If you do that I can give you to MNN to ban you for abusing your powers.

...

But still, I would think that most of the other wiki staff would agree with me saying that your book is sub-par.

Well I know a person actually learned the basics of scripting from it and didn't even know what scripting was before...

That's something.
