"Online Help" page outdated, change is required

I prefer the old Wiki over the new one, but I feel that this Feature Request needs to be filed anyway.

It has been made clear to us by Roblox Staff that going forward, the Developer Hub shall be taking the place of the former Roblox Wiki. Most pages have already been migrated over and redirect to pages on the new Developer Hub. On the other hand, Studio itself has not adapted to the Developer Hub.

Currently, F1 (or otherwise File > Online Help…) opens up Manual/Studio Overview. If Roblox intends to move away from the Roblox Wiki, I suggest that the button instead open up the Developer Hub instead.

I don’t believe Context Help (View > Context Help) needs to be looked over, though it’s essentially a dock widget version of the Roblox Wiki. That may also need to be changed.

I was always concerned how this change affects the Plugin:OpenWikiPage() method. Will the context menu still open older pages? Will it be updated to use new wiki pages? If updated, what URL would we have to put, and would it still be something like “API:BasePart”?
