Personally I detest in game help and prefer never to use it. Tutorial scenario's are my limit - if they are well written, in general WL ones are good.

The interesting einstein13 documents were something I had already come across, but they are indicative of the current mess of information, these should more integrated with the wiki. The wiki itself is a problem, if you click the wiki button you see a game manual listed with three headings Basic Game Help which is more of an outline of WL, Tribes which is out of date and Customising which seems be be of little use. Alternatively if you click on Game Manual from the Wiki dropdown you get to something that is a beginning of a user manual, though some links like the WannaHelp one just lead to a bunch of 404 errors.

I am familiar with Wesnoth, I have been working on the user manual for an offshoot game, Hale, but with only one dev. progress is slow. The Wesnoth user manual is more like we should have, but I am a nut for manuals, I have loads as ebooks that I read for pleasure.

Is it OK if I try to get some order into the Wiki user manual? I am working now on some better organisational charts for buildings and wares, I can merge the two current manuals into one and add some placeholder headings for new articles to be written, hopefully encouraging users to add the information, or I will add it myself later.
