Missing game mechanics documentation - PR discussion

[AnonymousDapper]

Problem

Official hackmud wiki is lacking clear/sufficient documentation for core game mechanics including user slots, security levels and their possible consequences, badges/GC, and sectors. (Essentially, most of the topics on Fandom's Game Mechanics page)

I'm aware sectors are mentioned in the glossary, but I don't believe that entry is a sufficient explanation.

Context

I propose to create a new navbar entry titled "Game Mechanics" with sub-entries including the aforementioned topics as individual pages.

Alternatively, I can add only a page on security levels and put it in the New Players guide. I think a separate navbar entry is a better idea, as it allows for the other topics to be easily added in future.

FWIW: I'm already in the process of writing a Security Levels page.

Page skeleton for critique:

I am aware the CLI/subscript behavior of scripts.get_level is already documented elsewhere. I'm open to removing it from this page.

An extra navbar entry for miscellaneous game mechanics probably makes a lot of sense, either one with a hover-dropdown or one you just click to get an autogenerated index page.

My mind so far is on starting with a hover-dropdown for Game Mechanics, and I'd be happy reviewing a PR to add that.

I like the current look of your seclevels page! I saw you mentioned Fandom - when using external references, just be mindful of respecting existing content licenses.

Sounds good. When I get more time I'll build out the skeleton for a new dropdown and PR it.

"licensing restrictions" is so wild to me.. ComCODE owns the game they're hosting an article about
