In case you're curious as to why we moved the docs:

  • The old location used a legacy wiki setup that is different from the modern github wiki and is barely maintained by github.
  • Probably as a direct result of this, in the last year it got slower and slower rendering the page until it often timed out entirely and needed multiple refreshes.
  • On top of that, this legacy wiki had no normal Github auth limitations, meaning that literally anyone with a Github account could edit (or vandalize) it.

As an active user of xkcd IRC I don't mind being somewhat of a guard to weird edits. That's why the documentation was moved into a repo that I own.
