WebKit maintains three official documentation surfaces. This document defines the purpose, audience, and ownership of each surface, and provides selection criteria to help contributors place new content in the correct location.

At a glance: GitHub Wiki = how we work · docs.webkit.org = how WebKit works · webkit.org = what WebKit is

When deciding where to publish new content, evaluate the following questions in order. Stop at the first affirmative answer.

1. Is the content public-facing? Is it intended for web developers, the broader community, or does it convey project-level policy? → Publish on webkit.org

2. Is the content stable reference material? Does it describe architecture, design decisions, or contribution overview that engineers will cite long-term? → Publish on docs.webkit.org

3. Is the content operational? Does it describe an internal workflow, coding convention, or process that changes frequently? → Publish on the GitHub Wiki

If none of the criteria above clearly apply, default to the GitHub Wiki. Wiki content carries the lowest publication overhead and can be migrated to docs.webkit.org once it stabilizes into reference material.
