Tip of the Day: Group links
Hi editors!
A lot of us are familiar with groups; however, did you know that the has a template specifically for linking to groups? That's right, give the Group link template a warm welcome!
It's been around for a while, although it's been lurking in the shadows relatively unused, until now! It's a very simple template but is bound to save some time.
Which creates the following link:
There are multiple benefits to using this template over a generic internal/external link:
- The template will select whether to use an internal or external link automatically.
- If the page gets created/deleted, the template will adjust the link accordingly, without requiring any modification to the page.
- The verified icon is added automatically to the end of the link i…
Wiki policy updates (July 2024)
Hello there, editors! We've recently made a few major updates to our policies, so here's a post going over all of them.
We have made some changes to the notability policy to better suit Roblox's evolution as a platform.
All changes to these policies are retroactive upon articles they apply to by default.
In the last five years or so, events on Roblox have massively changed, starting with the transition to the Live-Ops feature. Nowadays, Roblox rarely runs or contracts events, and instead much more focus is given to when developers run their own events or when companies contract development teams to create experiences, even going as far as to create an "Events" tab on experiences and groups so that these are easier for developers to promote.

Userboxes updated! Decorate your user page!
Hey editors, and happy Pride Month! 🌈

Roblox Verified Badges
Hey everyone!
Following Roblox's addition of the verified badge to authentic creators, this badge will now be shown on the Roblox Wiki in our infoboxes!
On Roblox itself, this badge means that the designated user or group is legit, and not an impersonator of another user. This badge is new and is slowly being rolled out across the platform, so not every authentic creator has it yet! For more information about the badge, see its dedicated page.
Since we are an encyclopedia that only allows pages on legitimate users, this badge simply means that the designated user or group has the badge on the platform. In other words, pages on the wiki about users or groups that do not have the verified badge are still legitimate. As always, our notability cr…
New non-sponsored limiteds
Over the past two weeks, Roblox has been making non-sponsored marketplace items limited. This is a big deal for the Roblox trading community as the last non-sponsored limiteds were released nearly two and a half years ago, in the otherwise uneventful Black Friday 2019 sale.
May 12 marked the first time multiple went limited in the same day, in this case the set of Maker Faire exclusives.
May 18 marked the first time a regularly on-sale item went limited, the Happy Time Magic Flower Bowler. It was available for a whopping 8 years, 9 months, 18 days. That's 3 years longer than the duration the Shaggy was normally for sale!
EDIT: May 22; May 22 marked the first time a membership branded item has ever gone limited on Roblox, the Outrageous Builders …
Notability policy updates (April 2022)
Hi editors! It's been a while since our last actual announcement. This one will be a little short.
As Roblox grows, it is necessary for us to update our notability policy criteria. This is so that the notability policy works as intended- to encourage better quality articles by limiting the amount of pages made. Criteria elements like place visits have to be increased to keep up with how fast place visits can increase for games, for example.
The place visits minimum criteria for a notable experience is now 2,000,000 place visits.
This also applies to the user and group notability criteria that uses a notable experience as criteria.
The group members minimum criteria for a notable group is now 50,000 members.
A new criteria has been added for user …
Welcome to Discussions!
Hi everyone, we haven't made one of these in a while. We are glad to announce that we have finally brought the Discussions boards to the Roblox Wiki.
For those that don't frequent most other Fandom wikis, Discussions are simply a place to talk about the wiki's topic - in this case, Roblox. You can start threads with topics to talk about, share images and creations, or make polls.
Discussions on the Roblox Wiki will be specifically for casual chat about Roblox. We will be keeping Forum:Index around for topics related to editing the wiki or the wiki's management, and won't be allowing those topics on Discussions. User talk pages will be used for talking one-on-one to other users.
Discussions will follow many of the same rules as the wiki behavior…
