Maybe spend more time practicing those skills and less time complaining about not having them.

Well, like any other skill, "google-fu" can be improved with practice.

The Wiki does have the answers. Get after it.

That's like asking someone in a wheelchair to walk... You need to be accessible, not deny my disability.

Your disability means you have to complain? If you truly have a disability, I feel for you, but complaining about it here isn't constructive.

That actually does depend on what you are looking for. The instructions for ADDFILES, for example, is still for the older version and some of the instructions it gives are no longer compatable. Follow them and you may not
get the results you desire.

HatchIT documentation is non-existent -- luckily it is interactive and can be figured out after a couple of tries.

Just two examples I've run into recently.

The top of https://wiki.synchro.net/util:addfiles page says
"As of Synchronet v3.19, this utility has been deprecated in favor of the new addfiles.js utility script." with a link to the https://wiki.synchro.net/module:addfiles page. That seems to cover addfiles.

Ahhh, I've ran into that also, but... :-) There are two entries for
that - one in caps (ADDFILES), and one not (addfiles)... The lower case
is newer, for the .js version. Also at that top of the page for the old ADDFILES, there's a note telling you that... ;-)

Fair enough, and there are more examples, too. But in the context that
I was replying to, which was setting up an "rlogin game server", the instructions are right there, and correct. Not sure why that guy can't find/follow that. <SHRUG>
