It should be “it became effective” since it is now two years past that date.
Although it’s a minor edit, this mention makes ALL the difference in understanding data limits in the DataStore.
Nowhere in the official DataStore documentation is it clear whether the 4Mb limit is for the entire DataStore (summing all keys), per scope, or per key.
This raises a lot of doubt (as I’ve had so far), where I just confirmed this by finding the announcement of the increased limit to 4Mb, where it mentions that it’s ‘per-key’:
As programeow mentions in his/her post, you wrote in the PreloadAsync it only receives instances. But, it clearly can accept URIs like in the example at the bottom of the documentation.
Also, confirmed in this 2017 post, it should accept image URIs
I am unable to create a thread in this category so this is my only option
The example usage of GetRangeAsync is incorrect
function PrintAllKeys(map)
-- the initial lower bound is nil which means to start from the very first item
local exclusiveLowerBound = nil
-- this loop continues until the end of the map is reached
while true do
-- get up to a hundred items starting from the current lower bound
local items = map:GetRangeAsync(Enum.SortDirection.Ascending, 100, exclusiveLowerBound)
-- print all keys retrieved in this call
for _, entry in ipairs(items) do
print(item.key) -- this line is using a variable that doesn't exist
end
-- if the call returned less than a hundred items it means we’ve reached the end of the map
if #items < 100 then
break
end
-- the last retrieved key is the exclusive lower bound for the next iteration
exclusiveLowerBound = items[#items].key
end
end
The line with “print(item.key)” uses the variable “item” which doesn’t exist anywhere in the example. There is also no documentation on how the returned array is formatted which is (from my knowledge):
{
{
["key"] = "some key",
["value"] = "some value"
},
{
["key"] = "some key",
["value"] = "some value"
}
}
the GetNameFromUserIdAsync() API reference code example shows the incorrect code example it shows the " Playing in Third Person" code sample instead of the " GetNameFromUserIdAsync" code sample. Please fix it if you have the ability to.

Roblox Star Program states the following:
‘Ability to direct from Social Links on the experiences page, to the Amazon Store’
The above line is missing an apostrophe and should actually be the following:
‘Ability to direct from Social Links on the experience’s page, to the Amazon Store’
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Chat/FilterStringAsync
In the red warning it states that developer ‘maybe subject to moderation action’, this should be ‘may be subject to moderation action’
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Chat/FilterStringAsync
The first word in the description is:
FilterStringAsyc
While it should be:
FilterStringAsync
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Chat/FilterStringForBroadcast
This article does not put the note shown at the end of the description in a red box and it also does not put the fact that localscript use is deprecated in a yellow box unlike https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/Chat/FilterStringAsync
Also, both articles use the word ‘games’ rather than ‘experiences’.

Missing end paren in code block:
model:PivotTo(CFrame.new(0, 10, 0) -- This works without needing to explicitly set "model.WorldPivot"
Should be:
model:PivotTo(CFrame.new(0, 10, 0)) -- This works without needing to explicitly set "model.WorldPivot"

There should be a space between Game Settings and menu. Here’s how it currently looks:
Also, in the Awarding a Badge snippet, there is an erroneous end) at line 11 that should not be there:

Broken link to the RemoteEvents page under the Code Samples, Streaming Requests section.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/UserInputService/WindowFocusReleased
RemoteEvents are called ‘RemoveEvents’ is this API reference. Also, it says ‘name’ rather than ‘named’…
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Selection-Boxes
In “An adornee what it shows up on”, there should be an “is” between “what” and “it”. I think there should also be an s at the end of “require”, the second word in the sentence, though maybe the correct fix would be to make SelectionBox plural. I think there should also be a comma after “objects” in the first sentence.
This is nitpicking, but the comma in the last sentence should be replaced with a semicolon.
The highlighted comma should be a period. The code currently works, but the typo makes the selection box yellow instead of gray.
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/datatype/CFrame
The description for CFrame.fromEulerAnglesYXZ is incorrect.
Currently, it says that the rotations are applied in Y, X, Z order. It should instead say that rotations are applied in Z, X, Y order because CFrames multiply from the right.
The function table.getn() shouldn’t be in the documentation if it’s deprecated (at least add a comment that it’s not working). Btw, why on earth is it deprecated? What’s more common than getting the length of a table??
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/lua-docs/table
Deprecated stuff absolutely must be documented, as programmers updating old content would need to know how old stuff worked in order to maintain feature parity.
I cannot seem to confirm that table.getn is broken - if this is the case, the Engine Bugs
topic is where to post about that. If it’s the documentation which is wrong, create a new thread in this topic to describe the issue, since this thread is for small typos, not factual errors.
Finally, table.getn deprecated in favor of the unary # operator, e.g. #{4,3,2,1} would produce 4. Functionally, they are identical. In the old version of Lua which Roblox’s Luau is based off, you used to have more control over the array portion of tables’ memory, i.e. there used to be a table.setn. Source: Programming in Lua 19.1
