Is the rails wiki (http://wiki.rubyonrails.org) down or abandoned?

It has been taken down.

Any idea when it will be up?

I found lots of interesting materials on wiki, so it is indeed very
helpful

There are no plans to bring it up again by now. The wiki had some
outdated information and was not maintained generally speaking. The
link to the wiki has been removed also from the sidebar of the
generated public/index.html etc.

Rails has now two official sets of documentation, the API and the guides.

Hi,

Could you please provide the links to these official documentations
and guides? I also found the rails wiki incredibly useful when I was
installing the environment (apache-passenger, rails). I have not found
equivalently clear information on these topics anywhere else yet.


Best regards,

Kristjan

Sure: http://rubyonrails.org/documentation.

Please have a look at the excellent documentation of Phusion
Passenger: http://www.modrails.com/documentation.html.

So where do I find the most useful list of reserved words that used to
be at http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/ReservedWords ?

As a last resort you can consult the wayback machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails

Please note that the wiki has been down *for weeks*, and mostly nobody
noticed. That's a signal. It was something that played its role in the
early days, and now we have to move on.

Of course, if there's missing documentation in the project that should be fixed.

I don't know how I can ever thank you enough.

Would be nice if the Rails Wiki link was removed from this page - http://rubyonrails.org/community and the Wiki word deleted from the Community Bubble on the home page.
