As a relative newcomer I’ve found it quite hard to get a sense of the internal structure of less wrong and the ideas presented. Once you’ve looked at the ‘top’ posts and the obvious bits of sequences a lot of it is quite unstructured. Little thing like references to the ‘Bayesian conspiracy’ or the paperclip AI turn up frequently without explanation, and are difficult to follow up.

References & Resources for LessWrong. Maybe it helps a little bit, although there is still a lot to do. Once I got more time again I’ll overhaul it, add some missing references and remove unnecessary items.
This is what the wiki was intended to address. Has the wiki been helpful or how could it be improved? Is it just a matter of being aware it’s a resource?
Thanks for mentioning this. I shared FiftyTwo’s complaint until now.
The wiki section is placed in a nice location, but I haven’t visited it in more than a year. It seemed to be too content-poor. A quick glace suggests that this has now been expended since then, and so may be helpful now.
