NetHackWiki |
Because this is a wiki, anyone can edit and change almost any page. However, to help make Wikihack a useful and interesting place for NetHack players, we ask for you to:
- Be a NetHack player
- Read the wiki editing tutorial
- Optionally, practice editing in our sandbox
- Create an account
- Read our style guide
That is all! Step 4 is important, as a consistent look and feel helps other readers use the wiki.
TODO list
If you want something done and won't or can't do it yourself, try adding it to one of the following lists.
General tasks
- Fix typos
- Turn awkward grammar into beautiful prose
- Create a page that doesn't exist yet
- Browse the category tree and find a place for uncategorised pages, images and categories
- Fix Double redirects
- Choose a stub article and expand it
- Add source code footnotes for specific NetHack facts
- If you are a source diver, annotate some source code
- Welcome anonymous users by placing "{{subst:welcome}} --~~~~" on their talk page
- Participate in discussions at the Community Portal
Specific tasks
- There are still many ring/wand/potion/scroll/spellbook articles which are either non-existent or very short stubs. Expand them!
- We have "best" solutions for sokoban (those leaving no boulders immobile); we should also have fastest solutions.
- There are many special levels yet to be mapped, like in the Gazetteer.
- The role articles need more structure and a lot more detail.
- We (and, in fact, the net in general) have very few articles about SLASH'EM, though see the style guide on this.
- We have no/stubby articles about past tournaments and winners.
- We lack screenshots of NetHack running on exotic platforms.
- There are many properties with no/stubby articles.
Automatable tasks
If you're good with scripts, or just have a thing for mind-numbing repetetive chores, you can do something on this list:
- The pages for weapon, armor, comestible, monster etc. are currently just lists. They could at least be tables showing some basic stats, and possibly even a series of tables ordered by different properties, e.g.:
- The name of each god should redirect to god.
Other wiki help
- Wikia:Category:Help has some general help pages
- MediaWiki Handbook has technical documentation about the wiki software
