=== [[Template:NonStandard|Non-Standard Feature]] ===
=== [[Template:NonStandard|Non-Standard Feature]] ===
While the Wiki is written around the 2012 client, we still care for previous versions of the game. Some features aren't available in later versions (like [[DHTML]]) and some aren't available in earlier versions (like [[RBX.lua.Dialog_(Object)|Dialog]] and [[RBX.lua.Terrain_(Object)|Terrain]]). Use this template to alert the user that they won't be able to use this engine feature in all versions of the game.

(Note that "standard" is kind of a vague definition. Currently, it means the 2010 client. After all, 2007 is too insecure to be used publicly, and, on Novetus, 2008 and 2009 servers can't be hosted securely with Playit.gg.)
