=The MusicBrainz Wiki= |

The MusicBrainz Wiki is located at [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/]. With a few exceptions, it is the source of all MusicBrainz' documentation through the [[WikiDocs]] transclusion mechanism. |
|||
(It’s currently being converted as a MetaBrainz Wiki by adding a namespace for each project; See [[jira:OTHER-415]] for follow-up.) |

The MusicBrainzWiki is located at [http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/ http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/]. |

For licensing information, see the [[MusicBrainz Wiki License|wiki license]] page. |
|||
When [[WikiDocs]] will be implemented you will be able to view the content of this page on the [[MusicBrainz Web Site|MusicBrainzWebSite]] ''without'' being in the wiki. See [[WikiDocs]] for more details. |

The [[Sandbox|sandbox]] is available to use if you would like to experiment. |

We ported the wiki to a [[Moin Moin|MoinMoin]] wiki-engine. See [[Moin Moin Wiki Syntax|MoinMoinWikiSyntax]] for changes to the old [[Use Mod|UseMod]] syntax. Also you will have to register again with your old [[Wiki Name|WikiName]]. |

This wiki is a permanent WIP (work in progress). The project to [[Restructure The Wiki|RestructureTheWiki]] is largely complete and we are now [[Restructuring The Documentation|RestructuringTheDocumentation]]. There is information on the [[Status Of This Wiki|StatusOfThisWiki]] to tell you which parts are stable and which are "in progress". Things will probaly get worse during the time we implement [[WikiDocs]]. |
|||
The wiki uses [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting the standard syntax for MediaWiki]. Additionally, it supports various [[Special:Interwiki|interwiki]] links to make it easier to link to the various entities of the MusicBrainz database. |
