Thanks for this PR! I'm puzzled: why on earth are there two wikis with slightly different content? is nixos.wiki some sort of out-of-date mirror?

ah, found an answer:

As of April 2024 multiple Nix(OS) wikis do exist:

  • The unofficial user's Wiki (the one you are reading now on nixos.wiki) started in 2017.
  • The oldest (original?) of them is no longer directly available but can still be accessed at archive.org.
  • The "official NixOS Wiki" at wiki.nixos.org.
    • Despite that most content was copied verbatim (which is fine, forks are part of open source) there is no affiliation between the unofficial user's wiki and that wiki.
  • The NixLang Wiki at nixlang.wiki

We also have a write-up on the history of NixOS wikis (requiring an update).

looks good, and I learned more than I cared to learn today about the history of multiple NixOS wikis 😅
