These articles are from the old Knowledge Base and were not moved to the '''[http://community.secondlife.com/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/English_KB%40tkb Knowledge Base on the Community Platform]'''.  In general, they address  more advanced, specialized, obscure and technical content.
{{KBcaution|width=90%|The official Second Life Knowledge Base has moved to the new Second Life Community platform.  Check it out! Go to '''[{{#var:baseurl}}/t5/English-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/English_KB%40tkb English Knowledge Base]'''.   


Some articles also available in [{{#var:baseurl}}/t5/Deutsch-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Deutsch_KB%40tkb Deutsch], [{{#var:baseurl}}/t5/Fran%C3%A7ais-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Francais_KB%40tkb Français], [{{#var:baseurl}}/t5/Espa%C3%B1ol-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Espanol_KB%40tkb Español], and [{{#var:baseurl}}/t5/Portugu%C3%AAs-Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Portugues_KB%40tkb Português].

We have moved many Knowledge Base articles from the wiki to the new SL Community Platform Knowledge Base.  We set up redirects for these wiki articles to their new locations.
|valign=top|
Moving forward, we will primarily update and maintain articles on the Community site.


For more information, see [[Knowledge Base Questions and Answers]].

{{EKB Box|Troubleshooting}}
{{EKB Box|Operating system, hardware, and network}}


== 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  We will archive or delete outdated articles.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! ==
{{EKB Box|Abuse and Griefing}}
The Second Life Wiki will continue to be an important resource, for information in three broad categories:
{{EKB Box|Performance and stability}}


* The '''Extended Knowledge Base''':
|--
** Documentation for prerelease "beta" features (such as [[Mesh|mesh import]]) that are not yet part of the main SL Viewer release.
|valign=top|
** Advanced, specialized, or highly technical information left over from the old Knowledge Base.
{{EKB Box|Content creation}}
** Official policy and product information in the "Linden Lab Official" namespace (see the next section).
{{EKB Box|Scripting}}
* '''[[Viewer 2 Help]] content''', including the comprehensive [[Viewerhelp:Glossary|glossary]].
* Other (largely community-driven) information:
** [[:Category:Release Notes|Second Life Viewer Release Notes]] and [[:Category:Server Release Notes]].
**[[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]].
** Transcripts of [[User Groups|user group meetings]].
** Additional Resident-created information that is not suitable for the Knowledge Base.


=== 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.]]
