Moodle Docs is a short way of saying "Moodle Documentation" in Moodle speak. Most setup or editing pages have a general page information link. The default link is an external link to https://docs.moodle.org. This can be changed to another location. See tips below.

Example link

.

Note: information links are different than help links Help icon.GIF which are internal links. They can be found in the Moodle site file structure. For example a lesson question's feedback help file might be found at C:\moodle18\moodle\lang\en_utf8\help\lesson\feedback.html

Moodle documentation

As you may have discovered, Moodle Docs contains many searchable pages which represents 1,000s of hours of refinement by the Moodle community. For example, it is common to see a link from a forum in Moodle.org to a specific page or section in a Moodle Docs page. Likewise, something can be added to Moodle Docs to cover a new feature or to give a more detail description of a process that is not possible or desirable in a forum or as part of the help files.

Moodle Docs is a living document that is constantly changing at docs.moodle.org . Anyone in the Moodle community who sees a need is invited to make an addition or add their opinion in the page comments tab.

Tips on alternative page information

It is possible to download am HTML copy of Moodle documentation at wimski.org/docs to another server. While useful, these are not Wiki pages and do not follow the file structure of docs.moodle.org .

It is possible to export one or more docs.moodle.org pages and then import those to another wiki via functions found in Special pages, located in the wiki Toolbox, usually located on the left of each Moodle Doc page.
