Instantiate not calling start or awake?

Hello,

I'm creating a gameobject using Instantiate, the object is created fine but has a script on it which should run on awake and start but neither are called.

 

Ah I figured it out, I wasnt attaching the script to the prefab but to the gameobject.

 

And the point of this thread is???
Why don't Mods remove this pointless void?

 

It bothered you so much that you had to resurrect it over two years later?

 

Pointless void? Honestly, this is a very valid issue. Many new Unity developers forget to attach a script to a gameobject in order for it to work and they come on here asking about it. This person at least attached it to an object, just not to the prefab. Still could help out some people.

but..as @KelsoMRK said...why resurrect a two year thread and end up bumping it to the front page?
