Furey: Change template from nethack-360 to noversion. This article mentions #overview and #annotate, added in Nethack 3.6.0, but it doesn't describe them in ways that need version tracking.

 [[NetHack 3.6.0]] added the [[overview]] and [[annotate]] commands, which allow you to keep in-game notes of the dungeon overview. Dungeon features such as sinks, fountains, and altars, special rooms such as [[shops]] and [[temples]], most special levels, and dungeon branches are automatically recorded.

 While this wiki provides information on universal facts ("is it safe to eat a [[kobold]] corpse?"), a player's notes serve to record information specific to the game they are playing that may change from game to game ("which floor has the entrance to [[Sokoban]]?").
-The game does not provide any in-game note-taking ability (though some [[variant]]s do), so typically a separate text-editing window or physical pen-and-paper is used. [[Name|Naming]] items is another common method. On some systems, screen shots can also be a handy way to record a floor's appearance with a single key press.

-* Location of [[shops]]. Particularly in the early game with characters who don't have abundant food, moving efficiently is important and knowing which dungeon level had a particular shop can be invaluable. The contents of shops is also valuable.
-* Location of other dungeon features such as sinks, fountains, etc. A mid-game Valkyrie or Knight who wants to create [[Excalibur]] might need multiple fountains.
