Join block hex functionality in wiki?

DaEpikDude

The join block can be used for hex inputs in number input slots (you use join 0x , and it's turned into binary), which is somewhat of a little known fact (I mean, I certainly didn't know about it until recently).
Shouldn't something like this be added to the Wiki page on the join block? The “example uses” doesn't mention hexadecimals at all…

And all the world over, each nation's the same,
They've simply no notion of playing the game.
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won,
And they practice beforehand, which ruins the fun!

It isn't really a question, but I think it needs to be there.
Since I'm a wiki editor, I will add that.

The only real functionality for that is in cloud data, and the cloud data article does have a section.

Not true: you can use it to have a hex input for pen colour and other similar things.

Oh yeah - I used that functionality just yesterday too. My bad.
