Wowhead is a World of Warcraft information database featuring a JavaScript interface. The site catalogues items, quests, talents, and much more — all able to be searched, sorted, and arranged to find the information needed. Wowhead is currently the only major database website that has been mentioned by Blizzard in their Community Spotlight.

The website started out as a talent calculator. The talent calculator offers the ability to import builds from Blizzard talent calculators. The database website was created in spring 2006; hence, it lacks game contents that is no longer in common appearance since its creation.

Wowhead makes extensive use of AJAX for its interface function and requires JavaScript to be enabled in order to function.
