Blizzard's Spelling

Here is proof of how Blizzard spells the plural of Necropolis.--SWM2448 20:09, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Blizzard is confusing. Now in today's newest quest text, the quest to take that object to the King of Stormwind, they spell it necropoli. Rolandius (talk - contr) 04:32, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

"The Call of Cthulhu"

I'm removing the trivia section because the connection made there to Lovecraft seems really tenuous, and I doubt "sky-flung" there means "floating". (And by the way, "The Call of Cthulhu" is a short story, not a novel.) Ville V. Kokko (talk) 14:45, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Move

Separate the Lore and Warcraft III unit. Turn the Necropolis redirect to the Lore page. — SurafbrovWarcraft Wiki administrator T / C 06:53, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Yes, is what is necessary. Xporc (talk) 08:20, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

I'm finished with the move but I'm now just focusing on cleanups, links, etc. — SurafbrovWarcraft Wiki administrator T / C 11:37, 15 December 2017 (UTC)

Nerubian retcon

Does Obrahiim being "pivotal in the conception of Naxxramas" really contradict Road to Damnation? In-game, the Spider Wing is partially a ruin.--Sandwichman2448 (talk) 01:39, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

It's clear that Naxxramas was originally designed with the idea that it was of nerubian origin, which matched the lore from back then. But Obrahiim's lore does retcon all this unfortunately, since he is the one who built Naxxramas and Acherus. Hell he didn't even do this by, say, modifying existing nerubian ziggurats or anything, he was just "[inspired] from the architecture of the Nerubians and the magic of the orc warlocks". It's probably going to be retconned soon again anyway, since it turns out that everything Scourge actually comes from Maldraxxus. -- MyMindWontQuiet (talk) 17:01, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Italics

Just realized that the Exoramas is in italics, but other necropoli don't appear to be italicized. I'm wondering if they should be treated as "vessels" as ships, gunships, Exodar, and Vindicaar all of which are in italics. -- Mordecay (talk) 19:58, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Pretty sure it's just "Exoramas," not "the Exoramas." Which actually is part of why I say not to italicize it, because necropoli aren't named the same way as vessels in that regard. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:02, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

 [60] Akarek Avenged and  [60] You Can Only Die use "the Exoramas". -- Mordecay (talk) 20:05, 10 May 2021 (UTC)

Ugh. That's stupid. Literally no other necropolis uses "the." It's Naxxramas, not the Naxxramas. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 20:41, 10 May 2021 (UTC)
