Manuals
Adobe copies of all RTS manuals can be found at Replacementdocs if needed.
Note that if a section of text cited from an RTS manual is oddly indented, it was likely copied from here.
Add to all above pages.
Image sources
The following are sources, both internal and external, where relevant images can be found. Most needed images are already uploaded onto WoWWiki.
- Azeroth Army of the First War
- Orcish Horde of the First War
- Warcraft II units
- Warcraft II structures
- Warcraft III structures
- WCIII battle.net page
Add to all above pages.
Status
All pages should have the info from all applicable manuals with citation, an in-game (just the model preferred) image from all applicable games (RTS and WoW), any relevant info from the RPG books (like the Alliance Player's Guide), any artwork that can be found (focusing on the RTS manuals, but not going crazy), a statistics link (or optional statistics section in some form), the applicable navboxes, a link or links to the unit's quotes (if the subject talks), and a section dedicated to how the unit/building appears in or relates to World of Warcraft. Named heroes from Warcraft II and important WoW topics like Classes are listed in the navboxes but do not count for this (the statistics page is enough for those). This project is geared more towards the WCIII multiplayer due to the complexity of the neutral units in that game, but unique or single-player units can be touched on a bit. All pages are not being completed en masse because, while there are groups of consistent pages, there is no overall consistency because of the varying appearances of these subjects, so a complex overall boilerplate is needed.
Also
- Screenshots. Screenshots. Screenshots.
- Replace icons with unit pics on Warcraft II manual.
- Get all WCIII images in proper format on Warcraft III structures. Done, but not as well as it could be.
- Make Warcraft III units useful, and not just a model list.
- Add more 'In World of Warcraft' sections.
Status (units)
- Peasant - Was 'pseudo-boilerplate'. Needs more images. Images that were added ruined content to image ratio.
- Footman - Mostly done. Layout needs a bit of work. More images and mobs?
- Archer - Done.
- Knight - Done.
- Catapult - Filled out. Needs cleanup.
- Cleric - Done.

- Spearman - Done. Does the one WoW mob need its own section?
- Raider - Layout needs work, but it is all there.
- Necrolyte - Done.
- Warlock - Article is not about RTS unit. Make RTS page?
- The Dead - Done. It is a little lacking, as the topic evolved into The Undead and then the 'modern' undead. Merge or no?
- Ballista - Filled out, but layout needs work. A load of {{clr}} is needed?
- Destroyer - Done, but layout is odd at best. One good WoW shot of each type may be enough.
- Dwarven demolition squad - Done. 'Dwarven' may not be needed.
- Ranger - Done. Like many things, it was a unit in WCIII, but not the multiplayer.
- Gnomish flying machine - Done.

- Goblin sapper - Massive Neutral units navbox needed for WCIII info???
- Ogre - Now too general a topic?
- Ogre mage - Now too general a topic? Slightly less so then Ogre.

- Zeppelin - Now too general a topic?
- Juggernaught - Done, if not cluttered.
