Revision as of 13:26, 23 December 2010
I'm not sure this page is particularly warranted; the problems with the search engine are multitudinous, but we can't have a separate page for every one.
If this is to be a tutorial of some kind for a particular method of accessing script variables, then it should be written up like one.
If it is intended only as a way to find the GetScriptVariable page, a better answer would be to create it as a Redirect, which I can help with if desired.
But if the creator could please explain the purpose of this page, that would help. As is, it's not really up to Wiki standards.
