[CLOSED] Blame John/Wiki

[strike]That’s lame. What if I want to sell access to personal servers in all my places? Players cannot renew their personal server access in their personal servers :([/strike]

Question, do dev products work across a whole universe, or are they only place specific?

I believe the latter is true.

They do have universe developer products go under configure game and you’ll find it. It’s not that hard to miss if you can read English. :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m tired of all the outdated information on the wiki. :angry:

I’ve wanted to become a wiki writer due to this reason and I’ve haven’t had time to apply.

There are hundreds, upon hundreds, of pages on the Wiki. It is neither feasible or fair to ask Wiki writers/editors to constantly, day after day, go through all of these pages looking for information which is incorrect. We, as writers, are given the same amount of information that the average ROBLOXian is. We do not get notified of every website or game change, with the majority of information you get shown coming from experimentation or checking the API dump’s differences (between versions).

If something is out of date and you’ve spotted it, notify a Wiki writer of the issue. Throwing more and more Wiki writers at it doesn’t solve the issue, in my opinion.

I am not satisfied with the wiki either

This isn’t the only the wiki lacks, the wiki tutorials for learning scripting is horrible. Honestly the only use for wiki is a reference guide, its useful for finding methods, events, properties, etc. But as a tutorial or learning area it’s useless, they just jump too much from 1 topic to another without giving a proper understanding of any topic (talked to urist about this a bunch, he seems to ignore what I have to say so that is kinda why I opened my own blog for tutorials).

Do you want me to be honest? I know several wiki writers most of them write like 1 article a month or hardly ever post… and whenever I ask for a change it takes several weeks or months for it to get applied, I have a lot of examples of this happening. I’m not trying to call out people or say that they are lazy, but seriously I used to tell people to learn from the wiki tutorial until one day I actually read through it and realized how crappy it really is.

What I dislike most about the wiki is the terrible search functionality.

It brings up like 20 results of useless/ blank pages before you get a chance to see if what you’re searching for is actually what you wanted.

And spell one minor thing wrong, it will return nothing. You have to know the exact name of what you’re looking for, otherwise you won’t have a clue where to start.

If you’re submitting a change to a writer and the writer isn’t making the change within a few days, then you’re submitting it to the wrong person.

Here’s the complete list of people who’ve done something in the last thirty days. Let it aid you in your article updating needs:

Could you perhaps give an example of some of your ‘requested changes’ being delayed by a month? I’m simply curious.

That’s a very good point and I didn’t realize how big of an issue it is. I’ve started this thread so everyone can give feedback and make requests more easily.

Thanks!

Every time I talk to a wiki writer they like to let me know theyre a wiki writer.

Yes, I’m a wiki writer.

:evil:

Perhaps an inquiry to the admins about making a sub forum here for outdated wiki articles?
