-Unfortunately, there is more than one.  This one, https://wiki.secondlife.com, is officially supported by Linden Lab.  However, it is still incomplete.
+Wiki-based websites are by their nature, generally incomplete in their early existence. The fun part is that most Wikis are either open to the public ([http://en.wikipedia.org/ the Wikipedia] for example), or are free to join.
 There is another Wiki that is independent of Linden lab at [http://lslwiki.net/lslwiki/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage lslwiki.net].  It contains excellent information, but the website has suffered reliability issues in the past and constant spammer attacks.  In the [[LSL Portal#Developer Resources|Developer Resources]] list, there are three others, all of which are mirrors of lslwiki.net.
-For those who are concerned with copyright issues please read the [[Project:Terms_of_Service|Terms of Service]]. No copyrighted material should be posted to any Wiki without permission. If any copyrighted material is found to have been posted without proper permission, it should be deleted and the '''copyright holder notify immediately'''.
