Minor clean up to a few docs/pages, deleted some abandoned WIPs that are too out of date to ever be usable.

Summary of changes:

  • QA Team: fixed minor grammatical error
  • Added DevQuest team link to sidebars for en, es, pt
  • Removed several abandoned/now irrelevant WIPs

Looks like there are a handful of dead links remaining for the deleted pages: https://github.com/RetroAchievements/docs/actions/runs/17924931863/job/50968554962?pr=274

Dead links have been removed. Took several iterations to find them all, especially in the translated docs. Should be ready for merging now.

This page seems to have a bunch of SEO juice behind it. We should probably keep it.

We should keep this too. Google uses this to form semantic connections to our emulator integration guide.


Even in hardcore mode fast-forward is allowed, as a modern convenience. It's ~~almost~~ a consensus that fast-forward offers no risk to the fairplay and then it's available for everyone to use it.

**NOTE**: in _softcore_ mode savestates, rewind and slow motion are also allowed, but expect to have some issues. Read in [this link Why you shouldn't use the load state feature](/orphaned/load-state-feature).

While you will still be able to get achievements in Softcore, playing on HARDCORE mode is the only way to earn a Mastery for a game, displaying your skill- and prowess to your fellow retro achievers and competitors by showing up on the game's page as a master of the game, as well as on the main leaderboard. Playing on HARDCORE will also allow you to set times, scores or participate in miscellaneous challenges on game-specific leaderboards.

**Note**: If you want to play with the HARDCORE mode disabled (also known as "Softcore"), expect to have some issues. Read in [this link Why you shouldn't use the load state feature](/orphaned/load-state-feature).
