We’ve decided to shut off the Community Content (aka “wiki”) section of WDK documentation on MSDN.

 

A few months ago I provided this blog post, which questioned the usefulness of the Community Content feature for WDK documentation. Your responses to that post, and other feedback that we have received, confirmed our impression that the Community Content feature is providing little value to our customers.

 

We continue to value your feedback about our documentation. We encourage you to point out errors and provide suggestions, and to send them to us by clicking on the “send feedback” link that’s at the bottom of each topic. The link appears both in the offline documentation that installs with the kit and in the online version on MSDN.

 

Community Content removal coincides with the Windows 7 RTM update of WDK documentation on MSDN.
