The manual is located in the <tt>Manual:</tt> namespace (starting at [[Manual:Contents]]) and is released under the [[GNU Free Documentation License]].  Note that manual content must be kept <i>completely separate</i> from the PD Help pages located in the <tt>Help:</tt> namespace, as they are released under a different, incompatible license (see [[Project:Copyrights]] for details).

There is a lot of content on Meta that should be moved to this site.  '''Please do not move pages by hand!'''  There is a project to co-ordinate this move at meta [[meta:Meta:MetaProject to transfer content to MediaWiki.org|(here's the link)]] which will give you full details.  Once we are in a position to do so, the relevant pages will be moved here in a way that preserves their history.
