Functions in this category have been removed from the World of Warcraft API in a previous patch.

The following functions did not have documentation at wowwiki before they were removed, or were removed on 4.0 or later. Functions should be placed here when then are removed, and then removed from World of Warcraft API on the next major patch. This allows the removal to be documented here, while allowing new, renamed and old functions to be compared on the main page for one full major release.
