seems very passive-aggressive and biased towards this wiki. I do not see how a disagreement between unnamed people should be used to influence selection in a wiki. I think it should be removed, and replaced by a link to a notice on copyright issues and arguements. | seems very passive-aggressive and biased towards this wiki.

Why does this page exist? It doesn't appear that any pages link to it. -- Rob Linden 14:23, 4 March 2007 (PST)

Consolidating LSL knowledge
I know this has been perhaps beat to death already, but I would like some guidance on using the Wikis and the Forums. There is good information in all four places, and no single place is good enough. Personally, I think this *official* wiki has been made too complicated for mortals to contribute. I don't intend to learn all the templates and such so that I can add useful information.
I add information to the other Wikis all the time. It's easy.
I like Mediawiki, so this one and the one at RPG are best for me, but the one at RPG claims to only be a mirror or the one at LSLWiki.net, which uses some other wikki engine and seems old and creaky.
Can someone clarify this all for me, without resorting to name calling and authoritarianism 8-) 8-)
