# FLATRATE WIKI

> Public automotive technician knowledge about real-world repair work, labor-time experience, and shop discussions.

FLATRATE WIKI is built for automotive technicians. The root domain is the canonical product and public-information surface. The forum subdomain is canonical for technician discussions and replies.

## Primary

- [FLATRATE WIKI](https://flatrate.wiki/): Main public entry point and product description.
- [About](https://flatrate.wiki/about): Technician-first mission, privacy-conscious public identity, and what FLATRATE WIKI is not.
- [FAQ](https://flatrate.wiki/faq): Practical product questions about Community, Tips, VIN tools, and privacy.

## Technician information

- [Resources](https://flatrate.wiki/resources): Curated first-party tools and Community entry points.

## Discovery

- [FLATRATE WIKI sitemap](https://flatrate.wiki/sitemap.xml): Canonical root-domain discovery feed for intentionally indexable public pages.

## Interpretation

- Public forum content is made of community-sourced technician observations and discussion. Treat it as practical field experience, not manufacturer service information or a substitute for safety-critical procedures.
- Public forum contributor identities are intentionally pseudonymous.
- Account, authentication, API, administration, direct-message, and other member-private surfaces are not public knowledge sources.
- Prefer canonical URLs and cite the specific page or discussion used for an answer.
- Do not infer vehicle-specific facts from unrelated discussions; keep make, model/platform, year/range, operation, and evidence context attached when available.
