*In the "Welcome to the Wiki!" box, you can see that the "Character", "Place" and "Script" links are capitalized. They shouldn't be, as they are a part of the sentence. I believe that should be changed. {{sig|JulienDethurens|date=04:38, 19 January 2012 (UTC)}}
* Could you maybe put my [[Scripting Book]] under the 'Building and Scripting' category? <div style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; color:#000000; font-size:10px">([[User:SoulStealer9875|SoulStealer9875]], [http://www.roblox.com/My/PrivateMessage.aspx?RecipientID=3827581 Send Message], [[Scripting_Book|Scripting Book]] July 12, 2011)</div>
* Give a new building tutorial to explain the abilities of what the users of Roblox can create. Users should be compatible to knowing the basic structures of advance built models and objects. - [[User:DAbest]]
* Add Builder’s Club section to Navigation on main page. Use the hat badge icon. Wording, “Find out more about Builder’s Club!” link to http://www.roblox.com/Upgrades/BuildersClub.aspx [[Image:Exclamation.png]] 
*: Gimme a minute to upload that image. ---[[User:Mr Doom Bringer|Mr Doom Bringer]] 15:40, 18 April 2008 (CDT) 
* There should be an article that has something to do with the title "Help! My Robux and tickets have gone!", instead of linking to the "How to get Robux/tix/badges" page, which doesn't really help resolve problems.  I think either you should create a page, link to a relevant one, or just take the link out altogether
*:I second Typhoon's request. - [[User:ANormalUsername1|ANU1]] 8/7/8 at 15:25 PM EST
* [[Playing_ROBLOX_with_Firefox]] should be added to the main page [[User:Eyegotbanned|Eyegotbanned]] 11:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
*: It is actually already on there, under Technical support.  {{User:Mindraker/sig}} 14:42, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
* Remove one of the Welcome to Roblox sections, there's two. {{User:Tomtomn00/Signature|date=11:52, 29 January 2012 (UTC)}}
* Increase the absolute height of the heading boxes. The 'About ROBLOX' header's text goes below the div and looks really ugly.{{User:Merlin11188/sig|date=04:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)}}

*Has anyone looked at the main page on a widescreen computer? It's not looking neat. All of the links/sections are lined up one above the other, and there is a stack of image errors at the top of the page. {{User:Tomtomn00/Signature|date=10:18, 17 September 2011 (UTC)}}

:::The only issue I see is with the images. I e-mailed Doom about that earlier this week. He had worked out a fix to this problem in August, but it seems to be back. He was going to get a dev to look into it, so I'm not sure if somebody has yet. I haven't seen him online in the past few days, however when he is I am sure he will be able to look into this further.

==More appealing Lua section?==
Most people come to the wiki to learn how to script, returning to the forums saying that the wiki tutorials are terrible. I've been stressing the fact that we should stop worrying 100% on documentation (yes, that's important, but this is even more important) and worry about scripting tutorials. There should be a shiny button linking to a scripting tutorial (probably [[Absolute beginner's guide to scripting]]). [[User:Tenal|Tenal]] 00:12, 10 April 2012 (EDT)

==This page is unprofessional==
The descriptions really need to be remade and icons are ruining the entire page. (Again) it has no appealing "beginner scripter tutorial" button. [[User:Tenal/Sandbox/Main Page]] [[User:Tenal|Tenal]] 20:12, 10 April 2012 (EDT)
:To me it looks too childish. With all the colour, EmphasisBoxes and icons. I would use the Wikipedia main page here, if some editors would allow me to, which they do not. {{User:Tomtomn00/Signature|date=12:08, 11 April 2012 (UTC)}}

:::@[[User:MrNicNac|MrNicNac]] I know Roblox is a child's game.

Anyway, I finished up [[User:Tenal/Sandbox/Main Page|my version of the main page]] for the most part. Feel free to add more onto it, then replace the current homepage. [[User:Tenal|Tenal]] 21:50, 12 April 2012 (EDT)

I'm personally not high ranked enough to change them, but you could '''''at least''''' provide better ones, rather than just saying they are bad. If you can't find a better one then who can, since the person who's criticising obviously should have a better alternative, otherwise it's defeating the point of criticism, no?

*I generally like the design you have made up there Tenal. Only problem is the text of the page, ie the Welcome to Roblox section needs to remain the same. It is set by Roblox employees.

==[RESOLVED] Correct sentence==
"Roblox provides players to program in Lua,"
"Roblox provides players the ability to program in Lua," would be better.{{User:Trappingnoobs/Signature|date=14:49, 13 April 2012 (UTC)}}

== LuaLearners ==
Do you think adding a link to the LuaLearners website would be a good idea? They are the second  biggest Lua teaching group on ROBLOX, they share the same goal as us and many users are learning from their website. Perhaps giving a link to their website would be useful. I've talked a little (by PMs) with the owner, coolbob44, and he agrees that it'd be a good idea. We already have a link to the book Programming in Lua on the official Lua website, so why not add one to LuaLearners, since it can help users to learn? --[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]] 22:51, 21 April 2012 (EDT)
: There's a [[Fansites]] page, it could be added there. <br/>(<font face="Hobo Std">[[User:SoulStealer9875|SoulStealer9875]]|[http://www.roblox.com/User.aspx?ID=2060102 ROBLOX-Profile]]</font><div style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; color:#000000; font-size:10px" align="right">@ 10:43, 22 April 2012 (UTC)</div>
:: It's not a fansite, LuaLearners as a site is helping us to accomplish our goal of educating people in Lua. If some people think the Wiki is too hard, it may help if they have a second site to go to other than the official Lua website. Adding a link to LuaLearners on the front page is a good idea. --[[User:OBF|OBF]]
:::The wiki is standalone. I don't think doing so would be the best idea. [[User:Tenal|Tenal]] 16:56, 22 April 2012 (EDT)
::::The wiki is the only official source of help on scripting, but that doesn't mean we can't link to unofficial websites if it can help users. And the wiki isn't standalone; we work together with the blog and builderman's help page. The wiki is for help with scripting and building, the blog is for news and builderman's help is for help with ROBLOX. We also have the official Lua website which we can link to, including the reference, the book Programming in Lua which offers documentation of more advanced  concepts and the source code. Then, we also have Wikipedia to document concepts that are too vast to be documented on the wiki, and we also occasionally add links to other websites. The wiki is certainly not standalone and its purpose is not to document everything, only building and scripting. The difference is that LuaLearners shares our purpose instead of having a similar, but different, purpose. Yet, I don't see why we wouldn't give a link to it. After all, as long as the intent of the site is to help and as long as the site is actually being helpful and useful enough to have an impact, linking to it can be useful. --[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]] 19:28, 22 April 2012 (EDT)
== [RESOLVED] Group Link ==
I've been wondering about the following for a while. "Want to help our great wiki team? Join [http://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=127081 the wiki group] on Roblox to give suggestions to the people who write the wiki." The group article was deleted. {{User:Tomtomn00/Signature|date=18:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)}}

== Capitalization Condratictions  ==
I've noticed throughout the main page some parts say Roblox and other parts say ROBLOX. Shouldn't it stick to either one or the other? <br/><div style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; color:#000000; font-size:10px">( [[User:SoulStealer9875|SoulStealer9875]] , [http://www.roblox.com/My/PrivateMessage.aspx?RecipientID=3827581 Send Message] on 16:47, 30 April 2012 (UTC)</div>
:Both seem to be correct, as both are used on the website. The staff sometimes uses ROBLOX and sometimes uses Roblox. There doesn't seem to be any correct capitalization. --[[User:JulienDethurens|JulienDethurens]] 16:54, 30 April 2012 (EDT)
