Talk:Rec.games.roguelike.nethack FAQ
Current edition
The FAQ was posted as plain text, so I "wikified" it; I didn't change its content, due to copyright restrictions, I just used markup language to change how it is exhibited at this wiki, link it to other articles etc.
I've also added it to a category of articles a beginner may find useful.

Make the article two lines long
Deletionist here! I suggest the article should just link to https://web.archive.org/web/20130511155422/http://www.spod-central.org/~psmith/nh/rgrn-FAQ.txt , not copy in the whole contents and then we have to maintain the markup forver. Furey (talk) 00:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- No response to this suggestion, so I am going to do something else. Furey (talk) 17:18, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Given that it was plaintext to begin with, there's little in the way of actual maintenance needed anyway, I feel. Even so, it's something to take into consideration once a few higher-prio things are off the docket, so to speak.
...Also why were these sections header 1 so long? --Umbire the Phantom (talk) 17:27, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Dunno what the bar for "needed" is, but after the most recent text import, there were 14 edits: Samaritan 1, Elronnd 2, PING 1, Umbire 4, Furey 6. Some of those edits changed the text. Now it really is a plaintext historical document with a request not to edit it. Also, dunno why Samaritan chose the section markup that they did. Their last contribution was in July 2016 so unlikely we will find out. Furey (talk) 17:45, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
Redid this article as a verbatim spoiler
There was entirely too much editing going on inside this article, including some actual text edits to change some version numbers from 3.4.3 to 3.6. I wiped the article and reset to it a "verbatim spoiler" with the text inside <pre>...</pre> tags.
The import source is included as a <!-- ... --> for any reader or editor who would like to see the original.
I request that an admin protect to this file similar to other verbatim spoilers such as armr-343.txt and weap-343.txt.
