How to choose a wiki

Unfortunately, there are more than one. This one, https://wiki.secondlife.com, is officially supported by Linden Lab. However, it is still incomplete.

There is another Wiki that is independent of Linden lab here[1]. It contains excellent information, but sometimes suffers reliability issues. In the Other Wikis list, there are three others, all of which are mirrors of lslwiki.net.

Some people believe that the non-Linden Wikis should be abandoned, and that new contributions should not be added to the other wikis. They claim to be uncertain about the copyright status of contributions there. They also believe that only the wiki on wiki.secondlife.com is of clear copyright status, and that all contributions should be made there, as the other wikis are deprecated and likely technically illegal to host. Others disagree.

Certainly, no copyrighted material should be posted to any Wiki. If any is found, notify the copyright holder immediately.
