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:

  1. Be a NetHack player
  2. Read the wiki editing tutorial
    • Optionally, practice editing in our sandbox
  3. Create an account
  4. 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

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.
