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.
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
- 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 todo list
- Add short explanations for each rumor on rumors.tru.
- 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.
- Articles on prayer, sacrifice, altars, and alignment could be better organised under a Religion portal.
- There are many properties with no/stubby articles.
Other wiki help
- Wikia:Category:Help has some general help pages
- MediaWiki Handbook has technical documentation about the wiki software
