# Xonotic Wiki

Welcome to the Xonotic wiki. If you wish to contribute, see [Editing](Editing).

-       You are looking at the [official wiki](https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/wikis/home) or its [mirror](https://github.com/xonotic/xonotic/wiki).
        -       [Unofficial wiki](http://xonotic.wikia.com/wiki/Xonotic_Wiki) may contain dated but still helpful information.
-       [Website](http://xonotic.org)
        -       [Forums](http://forums.xonotic.org) are a lively place for Xonotic players to discuss anything.
        -       [Xonotic game stats](http://stats.xonotic.org/) show useful statistics information about servers, players, scores, maps, etc.
-       [IRC channels](Channels) are where most players ask/answer questions, exchange ideas, organize game events, etc. in **real time**. You can even chat with players in the game.
-       [Discord](https://discord.gg/0uxcsw1XMkaOB936): there is also a Discord server that serves more or less the same purpose as the IRC channels.
