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 that is also user supported 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.

New contributions should not be added to the other wikis. They are all based off the old LSL wiki that was originally hosted on Bad Geometry, then later hosted by Linden Lab for a while. That wiki was abandoned due to uncertainty concerning the copyright status of contributions.

Only the wiki on wiki.secondlife.com is of clear copyright status. All contributions should be made there, as the other wikis are deprecated and likely technically illegal to host.
