What Topics and Guides Does the rTS Wiki Cover?

Updated

The rTS Wiki at rtech.support is the official documentation site for r/Techsupport, and its highlighted content covers four practical areas: clean-installing Windows, responding to a suspected malware infection, improving cyber hygiene with multi-factor authentication (MFA), and setting up a personal backup plan. It is a self-service reference written by community contributors, so it suits readers who want to work through a technical problem on their own rather than open a support thread.

Highlighted guides

The homepage surfaces these entries as the starting points most visitors need:

Topic What it addresses
How to clean install Windows Reinstalling the operating system from scratch rather than upgrading in place
Believe you are infected? The wiki's recommendations for dealing with malware
Improve your cyber hygiene with MFA Adding multi-factor authentication to your accounts
Set up a personal backup plan Building a routine for backing up your data

Each is presented as a wiki page, which means it is meant to be read and followed step by step at your own pace.

How the guides are meant to be used

The site describes itself as "built by the community for the community," and the content is organized as reference pages rather than a ticketing system. In practice, that means you arrive with a specific task — for example, you suspect malware and want to know what the community recommends, or you want a repeatable backup routine — and you read the relevant page before or instead of asking for help. The clean-install guide is the clearest example of this self-service model: it targets a full reinstall, which is a different task from an in-place upgrade, so check which one matches your situation before following it.

Who writes and maintains it

The wiki is maintained by named community contributors, listed on the homepage. The site is built with GitHub Pages, and the repository is linked from the page for anyone who wants to see or propose changes.

Contributing

If you want to add or correct a guide, the site points to a Contributing Guide rather than accepting edits directly on the page. Read that guide first; it defines how contributions are submitted through the project's repository.

What to expect and what to check

  • Community-authored, not vendor documentation. The advice reflects the contributors' experience; verify version-specific steps against your own system before acting.
  • Focused scope. The highlighted content is a short list of common problems, not an exhaustive knowledge base. If your issue is not among them, the wiki may not cover it.
  • No account or pricing details are stated on the homepage. The page does not describe login requirements or costs, so do not assume either way; check the linked repository and contributing pages if that matters to you.
  • Currency. The homepage shows a last-updated date of Aug 30, 2026, which is a useful signal for how recently the content was reviewed.

If your goal is a specific fix — reinstalling Windows, cleaning up after an infection, enabling MFA, or starting backups — go straight to the matching highlighted page. If you want to improve the wiki itself, start with the Contributing Guide.
