The User Guide is a website to help content editors, moderators, administrators, and other users learn how to use Wagtail, the leading open source Python content management system (CMS). It’s comprehensive documentation for CMS users, including reference information on the admin features, how-tos, and more. Our privacy policy explains what information the site collects and why.
AI-friendly documentation
For users of Large Language Models (LLMs) and agents, the user guide contents are available in machine-friendly formats:
- Markdown content negotiation for all pages.
- llms.txt, an LLM-focused index of all site contents.
- llms-full.txt, a full copy of the documentation
- Wagtail guide support skill, an opinionated agent skill you can copy-paste into your preferred AI tool so it answers questions based on the site’s contents.
- WebMCP, so you can navigate the docs with your agent.
- OpenAPI API, to retrieve the website’s contents programmatically.
The site follows the Agentic Resource Discovery specification to make this information available. See documentation formats for details of each format, and how to use them.
Historical copies
Historical copies of the site contents are available in our Git repository. You can browse or compare how the documentation has changed over time, in the content directory in the wagtail/guide repository. Each sync stores every page in the Markdown format described in documentation formats.
