As there seems to be nobody updating the ruleset information in the wiki at the moment, I just dumped freeciv-3.0 autogenerated manuals of civ2civ3 and classic rulesets there, without any hand-editing (even to fix potential broken image links - also, bit funny that wiki presents sometimes very outdated images from amplio (not even amplio2!) when the freeciv default is hexemplio). Better than not having 3.0 manuals at all?

I've been under impression that manual generator output has been used as the base of wiki updates since it was first implemented, for freeciv-2.0, in 2004. Just that a lot of hand-editing has been necessary to process that output.

Some parts of the manual created by freeciv-3.0 manual generator make it hard to believe that it has been in production use that long!

I believe there has been some updates to it during 3.1 cycle, though, I'll be testing that (i.e. creating freeciv-3.1 manuals) soonish - at least as soon as 3.1.0-alpha5 gets released.

How exactly did you do this?

Not much magic here. Just run freeciv-manual --ruleset <ruleset> and pasted contents of each of the produced files to the wiki.

As civ2civ3 had a rule change in 3.0.5, regenerated its documentation.
Added alien ruleset documentation.

Going to generate manuals for some of the freeciv-3.1 rulesets with 3.1.0-alpha5. The default (civ2civ3) is already up.
