Did not come from ROBLOX, nor Wikia

Welcome, stranger! It's very rare to have something like this. But it happens; someone comes in with almost no experience whatsoever and they may need to be taught the ways of both paths. No need to worry, though! We can teach you the various ways of ROBLOX first, and then we'll get to Wikia later on.

Before you start making an article, you need to know what topic the article will be about. Of course, you didn't come from ROBLOX, did you? Of course not! If you do know about ROBLOX, then scroll down to Came from ROBLOX, but not Wikia. Otherwise, this section will be useless to you if you already have knowledge about ROBLOX.

So if you need to learn about ROBLOX, then let us begin our journey...

A history lesson

The moment happens. It's 1994, and ROBLOX is concepted. Of course, back then multiplayer games were rare, but 3D games were only getting started.

Development of ROBLOX began as early as 2004, where the domain was bought on January 29th that year. In the middle of the same year, the first account is created. Admin. The administrator of any system is like the president of a company. Not all presidents may do this, but they watch over the operations and makes sure everything is going well. That's similar to how an administrator works. The administrator account, user, or profile on any computer system, be it server, desktop, or even a computer BIOS, controls everything. Any account that is not an administrator has restrictions, and the administrator can even change those restrictions. The administrator can modify anything without limits.

On Windows and Mac, you would call it Administrator.

On Linux, you would call it Root.

On group-based systems, you would call it sysop or anything similar.

Admin on ROBLOX works the same way. But the original Admin account was terminated, and a new one was created as a replacement. It bares the user ID of 18.

User ID's are a well-known part of ROBLOX. You can compare it to a credit card number. That number is tied to one card, and a User ID is tied to an account in the same way. There is one catch; your name can change, but your ID won't... if you don't get another account, that is.

It's 2005, and the beta launches in February.

Came from ROBLOX, but not Wikia

Welcome, fellow Robloxian! It's a privilege to have a transfer player here. You may have come through a Google Search, or have just expressed curiosity in the site because the blog listed us as a fan site you should check out.

Since you know the various ways of ROBLOX, you'll want to jump right in to the point where we learn about Wikia.

Came from Wikia, but not ROBLOX

Came from both ROBLOX and Wikia
