The official NixOS Wiki is a community-run documentation resource written by and for Nix users. Any user of the ecosystem that registers for an account on the website can edit articles and create new ones, following a set of guidelines.
NixOS is a Linux distribution based on the Nix package manager and the Nixpkgs software repository. All three are part of the Nix ecosystem.
The wiki vs. reference documentation
Reference documentation in NixOS manual, Nixpkgs manual, Nix manual is maintained with the source code, can be used for looking up technical details, and primarily serves the needs of power users, developers, and contributors. The introductory guides on nix.dev are meant to help getting started with Nix on other Linux distributions.
These primary resources are actively developed, but cannot possibly account for the full spectrum of use cases that Nix and NixOS support. The NixOS Wiki is there for users to collect practical guides, configuration examples, and troubleshooting tips.
See the history of NixOS wikis for background information.
