WoWWiki has a strong commitment to remain within the appropriate legal boundaries for a Warcraft fansite. This leads to the ultimate consequence that contributors of WoWWiki are under no circumstance allowed to add information or pictures to the encyclopedia which Blizzard wouldn't like to be out in the public. Usually Blizzard does not mind, but when a game is in alpha production a non-disclosure agreement (abbreviated to NDA) is enforced that all participating which obliges all participating users to abide by strict rules.

Currently, the next expansion is in "friends and family alpha testing", with an NDA being in place.

Note that information that Blizzard has publicly released is not covered under the terms of the NDA and can be posted on the wiki.

As a consequence of this, content obtained from alpha testing sessions is removable under the speedy deletion policy, and action may be taken against accounts which persist in posting such information.
