Page URL: https://guide.wagtail.org/en/about/

> The User Guide is a website to help content editors, moderators, administrators, and other users learn how to use the Wagtail content management system (CMS).


The User Guide is a website to help content editors, moderators, administrators, and other users learn how to use [Wagtail](https://wagtail.org/), 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](https://guide.wagtail.org/en/about/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](https://guide.wagtail.org/llms.txt), an LLM-focused index of all site contents.
- [llms-full.txt](https://guide.wagtail.org/llms-full.txt), a full copy of the documentation
- [Wagtail guide support skill](https://guide.wagtail.org/.well-known/agent-skills/wagtail-guide-support/SKILL.md), an opinionated agent skill you can copy-paste into your preferred AI tool so it answers questions based on the site’s contents.
- [WebMCP](https://developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/webmcp), so you can navigate the docs with your agent.
- [OpenAPI API](https://guide.wagtail.org/api/v3-preview/docs/), to retrieve the website’s contents programmatically.

The site follows the [Agentic Resource Discovery specification](https://agenticresourcediscovery.org/) to make this information available. See [documentation formats](https://guide.wagtail.org/en/about/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.

Each sync stores every page in the Markdown format described in [documentation formats](https://guide.wagtail.org/en/about/documentation-formats/).
