Bug or incorrect Wiki Info?

In the wiki, under target number(Successes), there is the following paragraph:
You can also add modifiers onto your target rolls, and the modifier will be added to each individual dice roll before it is compared to the target number. However, if you're going to do so, it's recommended that you use a group just to make sure the parser fully understands what you want to do. So, /roll {3d6+1}<3 would roll 3 d6 dice, and for each dice roll add on 1, then compare it versus the target number of 3.
However, rolling the above example (with any modifier/target point) in a game or on the wiki dice tester field gives:


Is this the way it is supposed to work (and the wiki needs updating), or is the wiki correct and there's something funky going on in the dice roller?

Looks like it's working as intended. You rolled 3d6 then added 4 to each result, resulting in 6, 5, and 11. All of which are larger than 4. Your target number was 4 or less so you got 0 successes.

Gah, I'm an idiot. Thanks for correcting me Franky. I blame the crazy complicated macro I've been working on for the last week. Just ignore me.

No problem. Happens to the best of us. Except for Aaron. Nothing bad happens Aarons macros and scripts ;)

Also Scott, did you mean wiki instead of compendium?

Again, I blame the crazy complicated macro I've been working on and the stress of prepping for Christmas, but yes, yes I did.
