==Articles not to edit==
===Old user pages===
Pages stored under original Roblox Wiki users are considered archived and shouldn't be edited. If they show up in categories, please avoid them. Generally, people stored articles under their account to show that it's a work-in-progress they're still writing. If you want to expand it and make it a real article, please fork it (copy the article and write it in a new non-user URL).
===Archived pages===
Speaking of archived pages, all pages with the "Archived" banner and/or in the [[:Category:Archived_pages]] category shouldn't be edited in any way, except to further restore the article (by re-uploading missing images).
```The only exception to these 2 rules is to replace external links with Wayback Machine archive links. Make sure to find an archive closest to when the article was last edited (history tab).```

===Stub===
===Stub===
A page is categorized as a stub when there is either little information on the page, or none at all. These pages need some love, so if you know what you are doing, then [[:Category:Stubs|go ahead and try to expand them]].
