Initially, we are moving a subset of Knowledge Base articles from the wiki to the new SL Community Knowledge Base.  We will set up redirects for these wiki articles to their new locations.
Moving forward, we will update and maintain articles on the Community site.


{{KBcaution|[http://secondlife.com/download Viewer 2] was released, which means the [[Documentation Team]] and Resident volunteers are updating old (version 1.23) articles over time.}}
Over the next few weeks, we will review the remaining articles, and move those that are appropriate.  Articles that are highly technical, or that address official pricing or policy issues will remain on the wiki. We will archive or delete outdated articles.

== The wiki abides! ==
The Second Life Wiki will continue to be an important information resource, including for:
 
* Official policy and product information (see the next section).
* Content for the [[Viewer 2 Help]] system, including the comprehensive glossary.
*[[LSL Portal|LSL documentation]], including language and function references
* Other [[Second Life Develop|developer documentation]] such as that for APIs, advanced content creation, and the like.
*Information on [[Open Source Portal|Viewer open source project]], including [[Project Snowstorm]].

=== What is the Linden Lab Official namespace? ===
 
The '''[[Special:AllPages/Linden_Lab_Official:|"Linden Lab Official" namespace]]''' contains policy and service articles that aren't open for editing because of legal or other reasons.  Residents can be assured that information on these pages reflects the official policy of Linden Lab. Each article in this namespace will have a header and footer that makes this status clear.
 
Thus, we're using the flexibility of the wiki to offer both many pages that can continue to be contributed to by Residents like ''you'', and some that shouldn't be.  [[Editing_guidelines#Namespaces|Learn more about namespaces.]]

KBcaution.png Important: The official Second Life Knowledge Base has moved to the new Second Life Community platform. Check it out! Go to English Knowledge Base.

Some articles also available in Deutsch, Français, Español, and Português

Initially, we are moving a subset of Knowledge Base articles from the wiki to the new SL Community Knowledge Base. We will set up redirects for these wiki articles to their new locations. Moving forward, we will update and maintain articles on the Community site.

Over the next few weeks, we will review the remaining articles, and move those that are appropriate. Articles that are highly technical, or that address official pricing or policy issues will remain on the wiki. We will archive or delete outdated articles.

For more information , see Knowledge Base Questions & Answers.

The wiki abides!
