Various old wiki links on main site that should be redirected to Dev Hub

On roblox.com/develop, the Don't know how? Click here text above the upload box for the following categories links to wiki.roblox.com, which is redirected directly to the DevHub homepage at developer.roblox.com instead of the correct article.

  • Decals
  • Shirts
  • T-Shirts
  • Pants

Even if this page is likely to be redone in the future, these links should be changed ASAP for new users to the following:

The Issue
On the Develop page, there are various dead links in the following categories:

List
  1. Decals
  2. Badges
    image
  3. Audio
  4. User Ads
  5. Shirts
  6. T-Shirts
  7. Pants

The bug happens all the time. This is due to dead links that were supposed to redirect to the old wiki, however, since the old wiki is deleted, it now redirects to developer.roblox.com.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to the Develop page, and click on one of the following items in the list above (example: Decals)
  2. For this example, click on “Don’t know how? Click here”.

The bug happens on the Develop page on the Roblox website.

Video of it occurring

This bug started happening ever since developer.roblox.com came out, and replaced the old wiki, and is across all platforms that have a web browser.

Decals - I can’t find a page on the new Developer Hub.

Badges - The link should be to here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Badges-Special-Game-Awards

Audio - The link should be to here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/sounds-and-music

User Ads - The link should be to here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Advertising

Shirt/T-Shirt/Pants - All 3 links should be to here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/How-to-Make-Shirts-and-Pants-for-Roblox-Characters

I found one here on Decals, however, it only shows on how to upload it in Studio, not on the website.

I checked that link when I was searching for articles. Yeah, it covers more on Studio than website uploads, so it wouldn’t fit well being linked in the website.

Maybe make a Developer Hub feature request to add an article on how to upload decals from the website?

There are various links which need to be swapped out or adequately redirected for their corresponding articles on developer.roblox.com under developer stats (https://www.roblox.com/places/{PlaceId}/stats).

Developer Stats -> Game:
“What is Performance Filtering?”: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Performance_Filtering.
“Game articles on the Roblox wiki”: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Game

Developer Stats -> Data Export:
“wiki” -> “http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Developer_dashboard”.
