Migrating Wiki to Docs

Key points

Rocky Linux has moved the contributor material from its Wiki into its Docs site and is retiring the Wiki, so the project's public documentation now lives in one place. The post is by R. Leigh Hennig and dated Nov 6, 2026.

What changed

• Wiki held contributor material such as team membership, initiatives, Special Interest Groups and contribution guides. Docs, run by the Documentation team, held user guides such as setting up bind and migrating to Rocky.
• Wiki content has been rewritten and edited for Docs. The project says links and structure were checked so that nothing broke in the move.
• The work took several months and involved every team in the project plus many volunteers.

Why the project consolidated

• Running two documentation sites did not scale as the project grew, and users were often unsure where to search for a page or where to add one.
• Contributors reported that the Docs platform was easier to work with than the software behind Wiki.
• Wiki had no Crowdin integration, which the translators use. Every document in Docs can be translated into more than a dozen languages.

Getting involved

• Documentation contributors can join the ~Documentation channel on the project's Mattermost server.
• Translators can join the ~Localization channel there.
• The post credits the Documentation team and its leads, Wale Soyinka and Steven Spencer.
