Not sure if this has already been reported, but:
On this page, GamepadConnected, the following code:
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local function GamepadConnected(gamepad)
print("Player has plugged controller: " .. tostring(gamepad))
end)
userInputService.GamepadConnected:Connect(GamepadDisconnected)
-- shouldn't this be GamepadConnected?
LocalScripts don’t run in the workspace unless they are a descendant of the player’s character. So someone can’t just slap this code into a localscript and put the localscript inside the door and expect it to work.
Broken link: " See Using Player Spawns for details."
Should go to Implementing Teams | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
loadstring says it returns a Variant even though it always returns a callable function
I just found an error in the UserInputService.TouchEnabled page.
It says:
there’s no link, just ‘[here][1]’. I’m not sure if the page was removed
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/property/UserInputService/TouchEnabled
No, that is accurate. If the string has a syntax error in it loadstring returns nil + error message.
At the end of the page, the last example code uses a deprecated Roblox Global.
local part = Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
print(part.Name .. " has been added to the Workspace")
local part = Workspace:WaitForChild("Part")
Workspace is deprecated, workspace must be used instead.

As far as I know, elapsedTime() is now deprecated and according to Studio ScriptAnalysis, os.clock() must be used instead.
elapsedTime() can still be found at Roblox Globals page & there isn’t any advice saying that It is deprecated.

On Tool.Enabled, “When set to true, the tool can use the tool.” should be “When set to true, the player can use the tool.”

change AssetService:GetGamePlacesAsync1 to AssetService:GetGamePlacesAsync
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Player/Kick
These images should be changed to display the new kick & console theme.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/SelectionBox
The API reference for the SelectionBox object is badly written and contains a misspelling, “SelectioBoxes” as well as a nonsensical sentence “An adornee what it shows up on”.
oh god here comes a technical thread
This page has a tip where it says ‘remove all references’
The reasoning it gives, is, uh, alright I guess? But you should probably state that if the object is referenced in a variable, it’s never removed from memory, not just This prevents your code from accessing anything to do with the object.
local Part = {
[workspace.Baseplate] = true
}
game.Workspace.Baseplate:Destroy()
wait(5)
for i in pairs(Part) do
print(i.Name)
end
> Baseplate
This is just how Lua’s GC will work, if it finds a reference to anything, whether it’s a userdata or just an every day variable. It will not remove it from memory if it can find a reference to it.
I feel this is a pretty significant fact about Lua to just completely gloss over
:GetRoleInGroup() and :GetRankInGroup() has a typo pasted like this:

Not updated code in api reference. Link:SocialService
Need change SocialService.CanSendGameInvite to SocialService.CanSendGameInviteAsync
I found typo in api reference documentation. Link: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/InsertService/LoadAsset
