Identification section
Should pages for items include an "Identification" section?
I tend to add an explicit "Identification" section to item pages with advice for identification. However the "Identification" section I added for ring of conflict was removed, and all the relevant info was moved to "Strategy", so clearly not all of you feel the same way about this.
I think identification of items is separate from the strategy for using a particular item. A player benefits from identifying every item, even items with no strategic use, if for no other reason than to feel better about throwing them away. It also makes sense for identification to be described before strategy because a player will have to identify items before using them reliably.
Well, that's my take. Anybody else?
--Aximili (talk) 17:02, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
Actually, quick correction, I didn't add an "Identification" section to ring of conflict, I merely moved identification advice from the pre-existing "Strategy" section. --Aximili (talk) 17:05, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- I think I moved it back precisely because it just sounded like an extended strategy section more than anything. I'm not at all against the inclusion of separate sections for identification - rather, it's more that I interpret it as a section specifically for stuff like price-ID, autoidentifying, things of that nature. Informal identification CAN be and basically is part of that on paper, but with the ring of conflict, my rationale (which I'dve gladly explained had I been asked directly) was that it's also a vital part of any strategy around it, "it" being "not finding the thing and immediately dying from wear-testing it", such that it was worth noting first in that section. I'm more than willing to rewrite it more to accommodate, and I actually made a couple of edits in that direction - the larger question is more how to approach that than anything else. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 23:28, 22 March 2020 (UTC)
"What links here" link availability?
Hi. For things like fixing [this redirect] so that it does follow wiki style while not creating double redirects, and for multiple other uses, it would be very nice to have readily available (preferably via a left-hand-side menu link, under Tools) the standard wiki "what links here" special page (and the rest of the special pages, for that matter). Is there some setting I need to change for this, or is this something needing correcting by admins? Thanks! -Actual-nh (talk) 18:05, 6 June 2021 (UTC)
New NetHack tiles, can someone help with screenshots?
Hello. I just created a new set (2 sets actually) of tiles based on the default and Oryx tilesets. I called them Kinghack, they are located in the Pictographic Tiles section of the Tiles page. https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Tileset Can someone add them to the NetHack tileset screenshots (Where one can see the different tilesets in different areas of the game, wall testing, monsters, objects, etc). Or tell me how to add them to that site? http://bilious.alt.org/~paxed/nethack/nhsshot/
Thank you.--Kingeorg (talk) 00:18, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
GetIndie.wiki listing?
Would it be appropriate to submit the wiki to GetIndie.Wiki? It's a browser extension that redirects users from Fandom wikis to alternate better maintained wikis. It appears to use a manual list, and has a form for submitting suggestions. Sgeo (talk) 18:58, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see why not. It doesn't cost us anything and it might be helpful to a few new people who end up on Fandom without realizing that the community moved. The old Fandom wiki is still high-ranking on searches: "Amulet of Yendor" on Google gives the old Fandom wiki page as the top result, for example. Cathartes (talk) 21:35, 10 February 2023 (UTC)
"Large edits by new user" abuse filter is harmful
Special:AbuseFilter/10 implemented by User:Paxed currently denies all edits greater than 200 bytes in non-(talk,user talk) namespaces by new users. This was instituted in response to some page-blanking vandalism a couple of months ago. I think this is a bad idea. Imagine being a new user, and you spent a good amount of time writing some content, only to have the filter deny your edit, and there's nothing you can do about it--you lose all your work! This is an extremely bad welcome for new users.
Furthermore, it is not very useful against vandalism. Sure, it works against one specific type, but a motivated vandal can easily make <200-byte edits that still need to be reverted. There are multiple experienced users who monitor Special:RecentChanges (and #nethackwiki on IRC) on a daily basis; they can easily revert any vandalism that happens. Also, we hardly ever get any vandalism anyway.
I would suggest that a more effective way to deter vandalism is via a rate limit on edits from new users (e.g. 10 per hour per account). This will prevent a vandal from making too many edits before an admin comes to block them, while still allowing practically all good-faith new users to edit unimpeded, and having an easy remedy in case it actually is triggered by a good-faith user (just wait a bit before saving). And the probability of a rate limit being triggered scales inversely with the amount of effort involved in an edit (since it takes *time* to make a large good edit), so the amount of effort lost is less even if it is triggered. Cathartes (talk) 06:31, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Have to agree here - I've been somewhat vocal about how much of an annoyance a few of these filters are, but I think this one in particular is an active detriment. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 14:13, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- I honestly had the same thought. I just disabled the filter for now; it might be useful in a more targeted form (e.g. disallow new users from removing >5000 characters in a single edit, no limit on adding), but I don't think it's critical. -Ion frigate (talk) 14:39, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
- Absolutely correct. Although misbehaved people present a problem in any place, a wiki has the tools for reverting evil changes easily, immediately after being discovered. The filter, as implemented by Mister Paxed, User:Paxed, provokes more harm than gives help. It has NO PREVIOUS WARNING, and makes a new contributor lose his work. Including me, an experienced player of Nethack and some of its varieties, but new in the Nethack Wiki. Cssdixieland (talk) 17:58, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
- It's gone now. I can't speak for the other admins, but for my own part I have no intention of bringing it back. -Ion frigate (talk) 23:40, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
Ascensions per version or variety in Junethack 2023
This text is a comment about the results of Junethack, not a notification related to NetHack Wiki.
The Junethack competition of 2023 has finished. This is the proportion of ascensions for each of the versions or varieties played. Eight servers have participated: one of Nethack Alt Org, one of Nethack 4, three of Gnollhack, and three of Hardfought. Hardfought servers also have few other versions available, such as NetHack version 1.3d, but they have not been included in Junethack. The list is ordered by the proportion of ascensions obtained.
Version or.............Ascensions...............Total games played......Per cent of ascensions variety................of the hero..............in Junethack 2023.......per version or variety NetHack 3.4.3...........23..............................575................................4 NotDNetHack..............8..............................211................................3.79 GnollHack................3...............................92................................3.26 DNetHack.................7..............................248................................2.82 SlashTHEM................2...............................99................................2.02 AceHack..................3..............................174................................1.72 NetHack4.................9..............................588................................1.53 NetHack 3.6.7...........51.............................3936................................1.3 NetHack Fourk............1...............................84................................1.19 NetHack 3.7.0...........25.............................3333................................0.75 XNetHack.................3..............................501................................0.6 EvilHack.................4..............................742................................0.54 Slash'EM.................1..............................221................................0.45 DynaHack.................1..............................358................................0.28 HackEM...................2..............................837................................0.24 GruntHack................1..............................470................................0.21 UnNetHack................2.............................1245................................0.16 NetHack 1.3d.............0...............................61................................0 SporkHack................0...............................77................................0 FIQHack..................0..............................196................................0 SpliceHack...............0.............................1630................................0
Average: 7 ascensions and 747 games per version or variety, less than 1 per cent ascended. On average, one ascension out of more than a hundred games, the others are not ascended. Dungeon games are amongst the most difficult, but they are also amongst the most addictive. A combination that seems to suggest a certain... 'masochism' amongst dungeon enthusiasts.
The table given above is reasonably well aligned on our screen, but maybe not so well on other screens, or printers, as it depends on the spacing and the character font used by each machine. If the automatic formatting executed by the wiki look gibberish, as I am afraid that it look, please look at the source by activating 'Edit'.
The table shows only the proportion of ascensions in Junethack 2023, not in other competitions, and not in the total number of games played throughout the years. It is also known in Statistical Science that samples with small numbers tend to be less reliable than samples with big numbers, therefore the table should not be taken as an absolute indication of play difficulty, especially for versions or varieties in which the number of games played, or of ascensions, has been small.
Let alone should the table be seen as indication of play 'enjoyability', a very subjective perception that varies greatly from an individual player to another. The style of a player may be rapid, playing our dungeon game almost as he would play a 'point and shoot' arcade game. The style of another player may be slow, playing almost as he would play a classic game of Chess, thinking every action and considering possibilities at every few turns. Or at every turn, in particularly difficult situations.
Turn-based dungeon games are unique in accommodating to both kinds of players, rapid and slow. One is the 'action' player who goes for muscular Barbarians attacking in melée, at close quarters. The other is the reflexive player who prefers brainy Wizards casting magical spells. In between we have Walkyrie, Ranger, Knight, Samurai, Monk, and the other rôles. Every player has some choice for him.
Of 1630 games played in SpliceHack, not even one has been ascended. FIQHack, SporkHack and NetHack version 1.3d have not been ascended either, but they have been played less than 200 times each (196, 77 and 61 times), not 1630 times. At the opposite extreme we have NetHack version 3.4.3 heading the ranking with NotDNetHack and GnollHack, each with an impressive ascension rate of between three and four per cent. Four per cent exactly, in the case of NetHack version 3.4.3.
Some other factors may account for such disparities in results, from four per cent to virtually zero ascensions. NetHack version 3.4.3 was for many years the only official version available, meaning that plenty of detail in game mechanics is known to a vast number of players. Once the Dev Team decided to take action and release NetHack versions 3.6.x (NetHack version 3.5 never was official), a number of dungeon devotees started to migrate to them, but version 3.4.3 is still very well known.
However, that explanation does not account for NotDNetHack, which is not so well known. Let alone for GnollHack, which is, besides, a recent arrival on the field and known only to a select minority of dungeon enthusiasts. GnollHack can be played off-line in classic or modern mode (permanent death or not), casual or serious commit (preserving older sessions or not), with seven levels of difficulty (damage inflicted to the hero or by the hero to monsters), but in Junethack it is assumed that all the 92 GnollHack participating games have been played in standard configuration. Then, it is difficult to think of what has made GnollHack so successful in the number of ascensions. I have myself played GnollHack a few times and I am playing it at present. It is interesting in the unique features that do not exist in any other variety, but it is not 'excessively' easy. My hero has died a few times already, and in the others I have made him exit the dungeon from first depth, with the remaining pets beside.
It may be that the exclusive features of GnollHack (including even music and speech sounds with the recorded voices of actors when playing off-line) make GnollHack singularly attractive, therefore its players pay more attention and make fewer mistakes. However, that is only a hypothesis. The true cause may be a different one, yet to be discovered.

Can I edit Template:Languages and Template:Languages/Lang ?
I want to use the new LinklessExists template in Languages/Lang. I don't anticipate changing Template:Languages but asking for that file too just in case.
Benefit: eliminates about 1400 redlinks from https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:WantedPages (out of about 5600 total).
Risk: might break the languages box if I do wrong. However, I'm good at rolling back, if needed.
Furey (talk) 02:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Do it! If anything is broken, you can always revert. You might also be able to test it in preview before you break anything by using the template in itself in a <noinclude></noinclude> section. After you edit the template, go to a few pages that use it and purge the cache (append ?action=purge to the URL) to force the page to be immediately regenerated with the updated template, and check that it's not broken.

Interwiki entry requests
Grouping all interwiki entry-related requests here for user and admin convenience.
To give further context: below is a series of interwiki links that were slated to be dealt with after the move to MediaWiki, but it fell to the wayside for more than a decade before another user decided to draw attention to the matter. Below is a series of lists meant to expedite the process and finish what was meant to be done back in 2011.

Request for an admin to delete most interwiki entries starting with lowercase 'a'
https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Interwiki
I recently found 3 links in NetHackWiki:policy pointing to an ad farm for Vietnamese casinos and sports gambling. They were interwiki links, and the domain had transferred to a cybersquatter.
We have 581 interwiki entries. The table has been dormant since the move from Wikia (look at the log). We can safely delete a large number of these, preventing future problems.
Round 1. I would like to request that an admin delete all interwiki entries starting with 'a', except for these 6:
- a-levels, annotation, answers, anthropology, apple, architecture
These 6 are probably not used, but https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Search does not let me search for "[[apple:" or "apple:" so I have to look at hits for "apple" and there are too many of them. So punt those for now.
Q: what if we delete an entry someone is using?
A: the link will show up in https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=5000&offset=0 . Just look for Furey:xyzzy and see how it got into the table. Basically, an interwiki reference without a table entry becomes a redlink and goes into WantedPages.

Request for an admin to delete most interwiki entries starting with lowercase 'd'
Round 4. I would like to request that an admin delete all interwiki entries starting with 'd', except for these 7:
- delphi, dictionary, diy, dnd, documentation, doom, désencyclopédie
Most of these are probably not used, but https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Search does not let me search for "[[delphi:" or "delphi:" so I have to look at hits for "delphi" and there are too many of them. So punt these for now.
"dnd" has 2 actual uses: articles with [[dnd:xxx]] references. So for now, leave it alone.
"désencyclopédie" has non-ASCII characters so I do not trust mediawiki search and interwiki prefix matching to work the same way.
Q: what if we delete an entry someone is using?
A: the link will show up in https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=5000&offset=0 . Just look for Furey:xyzzy and see how it got into the table. Basically, an interwiki reference without a table entry becomes a redlink and goes into WantedPages.

- Addressed. I'm inclined to delete fr.be and fr.org, since neither of the URLs specified are operational anymore and give me a DNS error - I've found an alternative wiki for freebsd and updated accordingly. Separately, I'm also thinking we restore finalfantasy as an entry after you verify all of this: there is an independent wiki, but it's heavily lacking in info and the
WikiaFandom™ Wiki is much more complete, since it benefited from having a p. solid userbase in the times before the Fandom farm of wikis went bad. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 09:15, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

"gameinfo" and "gta" have known live uses. "gameinfo" is complicated and I am working on a task for that. So keep these for now.

Request for an admin to delete all interwiki entries starting with lowercase 'k'
Round 11. I would like to request that an admin delete all interwiki entries starting with 'k'.
There are no exceptions.
Q: what if we delete an entry someone is using?
A: the link will show up in https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=5000&offset=0 . Just look for Furey:xyzzy and see how it got into the table. Basically, an interwiki reference without a table entry becomes a redlink and goes into WantedPages.

Request for an admin to delete most interwiki entries starting with lowercase 'l'
Round 12. I would like to request that an admin delete all interwiki entries starting with 'l', except for these 2:
- legal, logic
Most of these exceptions are probably not used, but https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Search does not let me search for "[[legal:" or "legal:" so I have to look at hits for "legal" and there are too many of them. So keep these for now.

"pokémon" has non-ASCII characters so I do not trust mediawiki search and interwiki prefix matching to work the same way.

Request for an admin to delete most interwiki entries starting with lowercase 't'
Round 20. I would like to request that an admin delete all interwiki entries starting with 't', except for these 3:
- town-titles, townn-titles, translation
Most of these are probably not used, but https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Special:Search does not let me search for "[[translation:" or "translation:" so I have to look at hits for "translation" and there are too many of them. So keep these for now.
"town-titles" and "townn-titles" have special characters so I do not trust mediawiki search and interwiki prefix matching to work the same way.
"tvtropes" was special. I found 4 uses of [[tvtropes:xxx]]. However, 2 of them did not work, because tvtropes re-organized their articles; and were not fixable, because our interwiki link points to the Main section of tvtropes and they moved their article on NetHack to the VideoGame section. And then I saw that our article on tvtropes had obsolete information, so I updated that article, added references, and so on. At the end of my editing session, there were 0 uses of [[tvtropes:xxx]], so you can delete the interwiki link now. tvtropes certainly has a way of engaging people for longer than they planned.
Q: what if we delete an entry someone is using?
A: the link will show up in https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:WantedPages&limit=5000&offset=0 . Just look for Furey:xyzzy and see how it got into the table. Basically, an interwiki reference without a table entry becomes a redlink and goes into WantedPages.

- In regards to specifically Zeldawiki, I think that one is likely to be worth keeping because we do have at least a few Zelda-inspired monsters, possibly among other stuff (see garo, which also need a presentability pass but there you go). The rest of the "delete" table can go without contest. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 16:15, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- I am fine with keeping Zeldawiki and others at your discretion. Just make notes like the above, delete the others, mark issue resolved. Furey (talk) 18:03, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Regarding Zeldawiki, the current interwiki link (zeldawiki.org) goes to the Fandom wiki. I think it might be better to link to the independent wiki, which is at https://zeldawiki.wiki/wiki/Main_Page. From what I recall, I think it's the same wiki team, who moved away from Fandom? --ScienceBall (talk) 11:05, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Correct. My idea was to maintain links to independent non-
WikiaFandom™ wikis and edit or establish relevant interwiki entries accordingly while deleting the other unused ones - so far ZeldaWiki and Bulbapedia come to mind as "obvious" candidates. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 11:13, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

- Addressed pending a judgment on zeldapendium - it's a German wiki on The Legend of Zelda that's distinct from ZeldaWiki but still part of the NIWA (independent alliance of Nintendo wikis), so I'm trying to figure out what that's about - the rest's been dealt with. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 21:19, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

"Disallow empty edit summary" abuse filter
I think it is generally useful to encourage users to use edit summaries, because it helps people looking at page history determine what was done and why. We have Special:AbuseFilter/9, which disallows empty edit summaries except on users' own pages. However, this edit filter might hinder new users trying to ask questions. I propose that it should not trigger on talk namespaces, along with the Forum namespace, because users who are just trying to ask questions often make their first edits there. Edits on these pages are obviously discussion, and having to add "reply" in the edit summary after a section name seems redundant.
I think this could be implemented by adding a condition & !(((page_namespace % 2) == 1) | (page_namespace == 110))
to the edit filter (though somebody else should review this for correctness). All talk namespaces are odd-numbered, and 110 is the Forum namespace.
This page, as a discussion page that is not in a talk namespace, would not be exempt after the proposed change, but it is mostly used by experienced editors. It could still be added as a special case though (maybe using page_title == "Community Portal"
?). Cathartes (talk) 04:10, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Seconding this with mod hat off (the filter is not something I had a hand in and have no experience with editing). --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 04:12, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- I vote yes, on this or any variation of the design that Cathartes wants to do. Furey (talk) 04:26, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- I personally have thought of just turning that damn filter to warn, rather than disallow, though I can see the argument that even a warning might discourage newer users. IMO a simpler version of what Cathartes wants to do would be to only apply the filter to places where it's needed, rather than try to carve out a list of exceptions. Offhand, I don't think we need that filter anywhere but the main namespace and maybe places like Template and Source. -Ion frigate (talk) 06:56, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I did both - set it to trigger only in main, Template, Source, and Category, and set it to warn. If we get too many mainspace edits without summaries, we might want to put it back to disallow, but let's try the more permissive version for now. -Ion frigate (talk) 10:13, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I think this should work out, though if it does come to that I might consider having a disallow after enough warnings in a given span of time, if at all possible - I doubt it'll be as much of a solve as needed at that juncture but it's a line of thought worth considering imo (if it's even possible with the filter). --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 10:15, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

So a discussion about how to format source references prompted me to ponder about the current state of the wiki with regards to handling sources in general: Much of the structures set in place a decade or so back were created with the assumption that the latest stable version would be 3.4.3 for the foreseeable future, which is very evidently not the case, and the source reference templates are just one among many. While most of the current active editing base - which, it bears mentioning, is much different from that of the aforementioned era - is generally diligent about specifying versions when writing source references, it's clear that some level of overhaul is overdue, both in regard to how they are written and structured on a base and across the board with how the wiki is set up to work. With 3.7 to be released at some unknown point in the future, I think it's best we get ahead of that now, especially when we're still several versions behind on both uploading and annotating, and in general have many sorely out-of-date articles for vanilla NetHack (to say nothing of the variant workload).
Far as formatting references to source code, I think "formalizing" reference styles like {{refsrc|src/allmain.c|123|nethack=3.4.3}}{{refsrc|src/allmain.c|123|nethack=3.6.7}} and [[Source:Version/folder/file]] (not exactly those styles, but the general patterns displayed) may be a good start. In terms of specifically the source code hosted here, we also need to finish out the source listing for previous versions deal with the mixed syntax highlight problem: the feature is a small extension intended to automatically hilite source lines with GeSHi, but the feature does not seem to work on current MediaWiki software. Interestingly, as some edits I've made here and there seem to indicate, removing the magic word this was intended to work with makes linking to specific lines on source code articles functional. With that in mind, I feel like it might be a good idea to remove that from all the surce code articles in question, but it's absolutely worth discussing how to most constructively handle all of the above and more here, as well as perhaps on the Style Guide talk page. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 10:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- My view, in one sentence: Every reference to source code must explicitly specify a version number.
- Lots more here: User:Furey/References to source code
- I've been fixing markup in the Source:NetHack 3.4.3 articles. They have a lot of references to [[foo.h]] and [[foo.c]] articles, and those basename articles quietly changed from 3.4.3 to 3.6.1 in December 2015, and that is completely wrong for 3.4.3 documentation.
- Each time I commit an article in Source:NetHack 3.4.3, nearly every article gets added to https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Category:Pages_with_syntax_highlighting_errors. It's as if something in the GeSHi processing just chokes on nearly every article.
- Not only does the syntax highlighting fail, but we lost line number anchors as well. I would really like those line number anchors, more than I would like syntax highlighting, if I had to choose between them.
- https://web.archive.org/web/20140403230634/https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/allmain.c shows that syntax highlighting did work in 2014. https://web.archive.org/web/20220810194631/https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/allmain.c shows no syntax highlighting in 2022. https://nethackwiki.com/index.php?title=Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/allmain.c&action=history shows the last change was in 2013. So it was something in the GeSHi processing that changed, not something in the article.
- It would be good for Paxed to look into this, very interested in their knowledge and opinion.
- Edited to add: I spent more time on https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/*
- https://web.archive.org/web/20181003031605/http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/engrave.c is the latest capture with syntax coloring
- https://web.archive.org/web/20190407192043/https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Source:NetHack_3.4.3/src/spell.c is the earlist capture without syntax coloring
- so something changed between october 3, 2018 and april 7, 2019.

Proposal to eliminate bare filename redirectors such as [[Dungeon.h]] , [[attrib.c]], and [[Arch.des]]
These redirectors are leftovers from an earlier age where we had only one source version, 3.4.3. (And even then, we had more than one source version, because we had variant sources such as SLASH'EM).
These files, by their nature, must redirect to only one version of NetHack: either 3.4.3 or 3.6.1. For many callers, the redirection goes to the wrong file. Right now, I'm fixing all the callers that produce actual wrong results, changing the caller to get right results.
After that, there will be a few callers left where the redirector happens to give them the nethack version they want. I propose to change those too, so that the caller specifies the nethack version the caller wants, not leaving it to chance. Experience since the importation of 3.6.0 shows the current approach produces an epic number of incorrect references. And it will get worse the day 3.7.0 releases.
And then I propose deleting all the redirectors with names like [[Dungeon.h]] and [[attrib.c].
The modern way to write a source reference is with refsrc, including a nethack=3.4.3 or nethack=3.6.7 parameter. You can also write refsrc with ref=no parameter to generate an inline link.
For now, there are some such as [[Monst.c]] that I may have to punt on. But I will get as much as I can.
This is a piece of a larger discussion on NetHackWiki talk:Style guide#Futureproofing_and_source_references. I am making this small proposal standalone to get started.
Thoughts and votes? Furey (talk) 21:28, 23 June 2024 (UTC)
- I definitely agree those should be removed from source references, but I propose that rather than be deleted, they be made into (short) articles describing what the file in question actually does. I'm not talking a full explication/annotation, just short little blurbs like "monst.c is the file that lists every monster along with common properties such as level, AC, and attacks" or "mon.c is a file that defines many monster behaviors, such as what items they will eat or what they will drop upon death". Basically, I think this is a more achievable (and version-agnostic) form of the long-stalled annotation project.
- We could also provide links to different versions of the source files on these pages, a process that should be easy to semi-automate with a template. -Ion frigate (talk) 10:51, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I can undelete pages accordingly if need be, but this seems like a fine enough idea - I don't want it to be too short, though, just meaty enough that it can serve as a source-diving aid of sorts without getting too into the weeds. --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 11:58, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Huh. This sounds like a good idea. They would be little disambiguation articles, with links at the bottom for 3.4.3, 3.6.7, 3.7-dev, and even for variant source code. They wouldn't have line numbers or functions. And if someone writes [[src/mon.c]] in a talk page, then the page won't get stale when a new version comes out, people who read source code can figure out that a comment from 2013 was talking about to the 3.4.3 version, especially if there is a link somewhere to a quickie list of release dates.

This is more complicated than I thought. For example, NetHackWiki has 14 files and 15 redirects for the source file "dogmove.c". I would like to digest the current scheme before making proposals and carrying out sweeps. Interested editors are invited to read and comment on User:Furey/How many copies of dogmove.c?.
Meanwhile, I withdraw this proposal. I'll come back with rewritten proposals if I can get some consensus on my "how many copies" page. I am still fixing pages that link to wrong source versions.
