| Or an in-browser SciTe sort of thing, so that they could run the code and see for themselves. |

I doubt the Lua learners who take the time to read the wiki are that numerous.
It's an interesting idea. Why don't you post some sample excerises in Scripting Helpers and see what kind of responses you get?

| Er, I think the wiki should have a few more examples, I mean, a ton of pages you go to will tell you something, or what the property is, but won't show you and example on how to use it |

I like this idea.
Have something at the bottom saying, "Exercises you can try: [exercises here]".
Maybe have a few exercises explaining properties of certain objects that they might need to use in order to accomplish it. |

"Exercise one: create a script that checks to see if someone's name is 'Bob' when they touch a part using the lesson above."
"Some terms you may want to use are: if - then statements :findFirstChild() Name Parent Touched"

If you care to give some working examples, for a reference page missing one. I'll add it.

So? Start with the most important ones to you.
Alternately, you can create one bigger useful example that can be linked for multiple properties/methods.
Making a million little examples takes work. Wiki's work because it easy to do a tiny bit of work and make a small improvement. For example, if you need a method and write a little test to see exactly how it works, then you add that example to the method page and now everyone benefits from what you would have done anyway.
If someone else has to go through a bunch of pages and create (and hopefully test) examples it takes time. Maybe the property is so trivial noone needs an example. Maybe it's got an interesting limitation that just writing a trivial example doesn't help explain.
It's always better to get user feedback for this.
I'd rather put meaningful examples (and not have an example in many cases) than to fill the wiki with uselessly trivial ones (for example, there was an example on the MouseButton2Down page that showed making a connection to it even though the event never triggers in the game). |

| Making an effort to contribute to the wiki is the best way to become one. Post a thread with the link and missing information details. |
