Oh, it seems that you misunderstood me.

My point is that that particular information (i.e. "How to add custom modules?") is not easy to find in the docs/wiki. I claim this based on the (relatively) big number of users asking that question on the mailing list and at NixCon.

So I asked you to give examples of places where you looked for that piece of information (wiki, nixos man, eetc ?), and how you looked for it (google, nixos options, nixos.org search? what keywords you used, etc.). That way, I would know where to add the required explanations to help future users facing the same question.

Yes, it was mistake on my part. In NixCon someone proposed to remove the current wiki because it is outdated. But I guess I should first try before asking. I will post questions with more caution in future.

    This is not the first time this question arises on the mailing list.

    Where did you expect to find this information in the docs ?
    This may be the ideal place to add the info.

    Thanks! This is exactly I was looking for. I should have looked
    more before posting this query.

        Use imports = [ <your modules> ]; in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix
