Dear everyone,

We are thrilled to announce that the much-anticipated official NixOS wiki has now been launched and is live at [https://wiki.nixos.org](https://wiki.nixos.org)! This marks the beginning of a new platform owned by the community to collaborate around documentation about the NixOS ecosystem!  
We would like to invite anyone motivated to use and edit this new wiki, and join the wiki team to participate in long term editorial work! Come talk with us here [https://matrix.to/#/#wiki:nixos.org](https://matrix.to/#/#wiki:nixos.org)

For those interested in the technical aspects, the current configuration of the wiki can be accessed at [GitHub - NixOS/nixos-wiki-infra: This project contains everything to setup yourself a mirror of https://nixos.wiki/](https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-wiki-infra).

PS.: this no april fools joke 🙂

Emails seems to generally work. Maybe join the matrix channel and give us some hints where this email should have went.

Just as a heads-up, the administrator of the nixos.wiki now removed all former admins and an assigned a new account to “Wiki admin team”. [User rights log - NixOS Wiki](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Special:Log/rights)

timestamps say he did this after one of those admins deleted all their pages from nixos.wiki: [User contributions for Samueldr - NixOS Wiki](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Special:Contributions/Samueldr)

i don’t understand the fork. it’s true most of the names here i get along with in the past are all on the same side of this fork, but it’s really not being communicated _why_. Cloudflare? bad UI? both those things matter, but seem a trivial thing (to me) to _fork_ over.

i understand the desire to avoid rehashing every dispute in the public. but then the whole thing looks arbitrary and is easily misread as some weird sort of power grab. if anyone’s written an honest “why should i contribute/link to one wiki or the other” page, i’d appreciate the read.
