Since this is a wiki, anyone can edit almost any page. To make Wikihack a useful and interesting resource for NetHack players, we ask that you undergo the 4-step induction process:
- Be a NetHack player
- Read the wiki editing tutorial
- Create an account
- Read our style guide
That's it! Step 4 is important, as a consistent look and feel helps other readers use the wiki.
Once you're ready to go, here are some things you can do:
- 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
