NetHackWiki:Redirects

Wikihack has the potential to become a one-stop spoiler for everything NetHack related. Asking what a message means is a very common question in RGRN and a common use for Rodney (bot). The goal of the message redirection project is to have a redirect from every message in the game to a relevant article. A user should be able to copy a message straight from NetHack and paste it into the search box, and be enlightened.

For messages which are caused by a single object, or in a single situation, there should be a single obvious page to redirect to. When a message has multiple causes, such as You feel guilty, create a dedicated disambiguation page for it.

There are thousands of messages in NetHack. Fortunately, MediaWiki is clever, and there is no significant penalty in creating thousands of redirect pages.
