Hey, I'm Jelly134 and I am one of the ROBLOX Wiki Writers.
I was wondering what everyone's opinions were on the wiki. What's good, what's bad, what needs improving and most of all, what would you like us to add to it?
You can request us to put more examples of how certain methods, events, functions or properties work, as well as more depth on articles.
Feel free to express your opinions, whether they are positive or negative.
Thanks, Jelly134 |

I would like for someone to add onto the Variables* page.
People come here sometimes wondering why their script won't work:
local partColor = Game.Workspace.Part.BrickColor partColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
local Points = script.Parent.Value Points = 5
And I want them to know when they look on the variables page you CANNOT assign somethings property to a variable.

@robotestgear, "Needs to tell why
:UserHasBadge() and :UserHasPass()

The second method is PlayerHasPass(). The difference is that PlayerHasPass() is a method of the GamePassService and UserHasBadge() is a method of the BadgeService.
Essentially you can use UserHasBadge() to find out if a player owns a certain game pass, however they also have different arguments. PlayerHasPass() uses the Player and the pass Id, whereas UserHasBadge() uses the userId of the Player.
The reason why PlayerHasPass() was created is because it is easy to keep track of what you are checking. Some people may become confused using a badge method to find a pass status. Also, the dev.s felt it was easier for beginner scripters to just find the Player and use that as the argument, rather than searching all about userId.
It won't affect your scripts if you choose to use one or the other. |

Sure thing, I will check that out for you and see what I can add to it to clear it up for everyone :) |

Okay, I will have a look at that for you and I will see what I can do :) |

I get frustrated when some pages have small problems with the code, such as a = player print(player.Character) should be print(player.Character.Name) |

That would go nil... Character wouldn't be a member of player anyways.

@ Jonah
Character is a member of the player.
@ MrChickens
To clarify, I meant that in your example, it would print the same thing, but for things that require strings, yes, you would use the Name property.

Oh and I'd like to see the LoadingGui page to have more information. I want to see what it looks like and how to use those new methods.

This is a little bit of a problem. Unfortunately everybody makes little mistakes like that, but all of the wiki writers, reviewers and editors check most pages weekly if not daily to try to remove these little errors.
Can you give me a link to the page with that example so I can help to fix that bit of code?

@knightmare
Player is a member of Character, but what is player (in her script)? I'm talking about the concrete idea of her script, not generally. But I was just joking around anyways, I know what she meant.

The LoadingGui object is fairly new as is likely to change. We won't be writing anything too detailed until it's fully tested and works like the dev.s want it to. |

Not likely that I can do much about that. If you go to gordonrox24's profile, there is a link to the application form. |
