Adding

What do you guys think. There are many ROBLOX Specific functions that are not included here. For example.. Instance.new, Instance.Lock, Faces.new, and more. These global functions should be documented.

I believe Faces should have it's own page. --Blocco|Userpage-Talkpage 15:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
These "constructor" functions are documented on the corresponding type pages. Except that the Instance page is missing/incomplete at last check. --GoldenUrg 01:38, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Print?

print() isn't just Roblox specific, is it? --Mattchewy (talk) 15:54, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

This implementation of print is Roblox specifc, allow we could use some additional information on the technical limitations could be added. --GoldenUrg 01:35, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Locked Functions?

Why do we have a section on locked functions? We certainly don't have all of them.

It's for the locked functions which belong in the function dump page. Not just any locked functions.
