Deletion

Hey. I'm working on the creation of this page. I noticed someone has marked it for deletion without mentioning why within the discussion page. I know it isn't finished, but I need to work in incremental updates because for some reason I keep getting a backend server fetch error from the wiki. This error causes me to lose data frequently.

I had written up the talk page entry, but due to 503s I couldn't save the edit.

I don't think we should really have an article about this, it only contains about 4 sentences, and most of it is not actually factual information but rather the community's response to something happening. The RCE was never real, cheats/bots were not bolstered by the source code leak as everyone loves to claim (I've already removed these 2 sections), and the rest pretty much covers that there were some comments found in the code. There's not anything noted here that we can't note in the leaked content policy, mainly about just general mentions of code and other assets leaking on several occassions. Furthermore, this page really documents the 2020 source code leak, when there are many other notable leaks, but due to the nature of these leaks I don't think we should cover these at all.

I think it is important to document these leaks as they are historic events that have impacted the community and game in major ways. I will not violate any policy. I'm new to editing wikis and want to preserve the history of what happened. I am not able to do large edits at once. There is an issue with the wiki that gives me a backend error nearly every time I post an update. It's very strange.
