About the Wiki documentation
Developers and volunteers spend their free time and willingness in development and management of the whole uBlock Origin open source project, they try to keep the Wiki documentation up to date, as much as possible, but considering the enormity of work to do in the whole uBlock Origin project, it's not always guaranteed that documentation will keep up 100% with the project.
Regardless of that, if you notice that the uBlock Wiki documentation lacks something important, or contains obsolete or wrong information:
- you can inform us by creating a discussion in Discussions, with "(WIKI)" appended to the title.
- for smaller issues like: typos, grammar, spelling, formatting, use already existing thread: Wiki grammar and spelling fixes.
- or alternatively you can edit Wiki mirror yourself if you have enough knowledge about uBlock Origin project.
Do not report Wiki related issues in Issues (https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBlock-issues/issues) as it's reserved for issues related to uBlock Origin only, and not for documentation issues, see:
