Spoilers
Before the NetHackWiki existed, people collected information about the game mechanics on "spoiler" pages. Some of these are still online:

https://www.steelypips.org/nethack/ - "Yet Another NetHack Site", xxxx-343.html
http://www.juiblex.co.uk/nethack/VernonSpoilers/MonsterManual/contents.html - Monster Manual (3.4.3)
https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/nethack/index.html - Myths and Facts about NetHack (3.4.3)
https://www.statslab.cam.ac.uk/~eva/nethack/spoilerlist.html - Contains links to more spoilers than most players would ever care about (3.4.3)
The latter two links point to documents authored by Lady Eva Myers and various contributors, but the links seem to be dead as of 2023 July.
