Revision as of 05:42, 12 September 2007

Maiv's death is quoted from the official Shadows & Light sourcebook. Its not "noncanon" nor "fanfic". I have pointed out its source, as well as updated the topic to point out it contains Warcraft RPG content, through the Warcraft RPG category.

Redirect

It has been decided that information shall remain on Doomguard, as we do not know if they are the only class of Ered'ruin.--Ragestorm (talk ยท contr) 21:52, 18 January 2007 (EST)

Highborne corrupted

Not a reasonable heading considering that according to lore satyr are not only highborne but night elves, and many other races... Just thought I'd give you the heads up.Baggins 01:30, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Random WC3 Heroes

I hope you are confirming that various named paladins, and other heroes in WC3 are static and not randomly generated. It just wouldn't be correct to say a certain character did something, if that character is replaced by someone else on another play through.Baggins 23:52, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Again, have you confirmed that these characters doesn't change names if you play the missions again? If they do then creating an article for the character is pointless. Also please cite the name of hte mission.Baggins 00:30, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm gong to have to delete all your additions today, best I can tell most if not all of them are random generated names.Baggins 00:36, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Sandwichman and Baggins are two different people. They are active and vocal contributors to the wiki. Please take disagreements about the articles in question to their relative discussion tabs and resolve the issues by discussion. --GRYPHONtc 16:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Mission Names

The official mission names are preferred over fanfic battle names (I.E made up names). As players are more likely to search for a battle based on its mission name from the games. This has been discussed in Irc.Baggins 04:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

  • Preferred by whom?--Gonzalo84 04:53, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

It's also a matter of wowwiki policy to use official names.Baggins 04:59, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

    • And what do you do when there are no official names?.--Gonzalo84 05:00, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Events that are mentioned or referenced but not seen, such as the First Siege of Stormwind Keep.--Gonzalo84 05:21, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Generally something that's part of history, but only has brief references are put into its related article. For example, the history section of the Stormwind Keep article. Other alternatives, include the fact that it was called the "initial battle[1]", or "first battle[2]" of the war, these titles would need some kind of citation in the article however to explain where the title originated. The best possibility, and the system usually used, would be something like Stormwind Keep (battles), which is about the topic, and includes a disambiguity note, discussing what the topic is about. In which case you put all related battles into the same article.
