Old Knowledge Base
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.
For more information, see Knowledge Base Questions and Answers.
KB migration
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 We will archive or delete outdated articles.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 details on the migration project, see Knowledge Base Migration to Community Platform.
The wiki abides!
The Second Life Wiki will continue to be an important resource, for information in three broad categories:
- Viewer 2 Help content, including the comprehensive glossary.
- The Extended Knowledge Base:
- Documentation for prerelease "beta" features (such as mesh import) that are not yet part of the main SL Viewer release.
- Advanced, specialized, or highly technical information left over from the old Knowledge Base.
- Official policy and product information in the "Linden Lab Official" namespace (see the next section).
- Other (largely community-driven) information:
- Second Life Viewer Release Notes and Category:Server Release Notes.
- LSL documentation, including language and function references.
- Other developer documentation such as that for APIs, advanced content creation, and the like.
- Information on Viewer open source project, including Project Snowstorm.
- Transcripts of user group meetings.
- Additional Resident-created information that is not suitable for the Knowledge Base.
What is the Linden Lab Official namespace?
The "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. Learn more about namespaces.
