This website is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink hyperlinked] set of how-to instructions about using [[Second Life]]. For advice on how to use this site itself, see: [[Start Here]].
+
==Danton's Second Life User Guide==
 +
This website was orginally created as [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]. But that unfinished project came to an end when a new version of the Second Life viewer rendered all of the screenshots obsolete. To see the remains of my Second Life User Guide project, follow these links:
 +
*User Guide starting page: [[Danton's Second Life User Guide]]
 +
*User Guide root category: [[:Category:Second Life]]
  
[[Second Life]] avatar [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]] presents this information to help Second Life users. The main goal is to provide instructions to help the uninitiated learn the basic tools of Second Life.
+
==Danton's Second Life Data Garage==
 +
In addition to the [[Danton's Second Life User Guide|SL User Guide]], this website holds a miscellany of Danton's data about Second Life and related stuff. See for example the following (rather empty) categories:
 +
*[[:Category:CDS]] - pages about the Confederation of Democratic Simulators, the Second Life community where Danton lives
 +
*[[:Category:OpenSim]] - pages about the open source version of the Second Life software
 +
*[[:Category:Libsecondlife]] - pages about open source protocols underlying OpenSim
  
The site is currently '''under construction'''. Any text within an article that is unfinished or in doubt is '''marked in bold characters'''. Articles that are linked to but not yet created appear as [[Red Link]]s.
+
==Is this website a wiki?==
 
+
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki], the wiki software used by Wikipedia, which might give the impression that the website is a wiki. But in fact the only authorized user is [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]].
(For Danton's in-world storefront - also under construction - see [[Danton's Tools House]].)

==Is this website a wiki?==
+
This website runs on [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki] software, which is the wiki software used by Wikipedia. This might give the false impression that the website is a wiki. But in fact only registered users can edit pages, and the only registered user at the moment is [[User:Danton|Danton Sideways]].
