About
- What is WoWWiki?
- WoWWiki is a wiki dedicated to cataloguing Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft Universe (with a focus, though not priority, on World of Warcraft), covering the entire Warcraft series of games, RPG reference books, strategy guides, novels and other sources from a neutral point of view. However, this is not Wikipedia, and we have slightly different ways of doing things.
- It also serves as a documentation source for Cosmos and it's related addons.
- Why a Warcraft Wiki?
- Unlike a typical site were you have to wait for a small group of people to update the information as the world changes, WoWWiki allows users to contribute. As you're going through looking for information, if you see something that's incorrect, you can correct it. If you see any information that's missing, you can add it. This means WoWWiki is kept more up to date and accurate than other typical sites. The more people that use WoWWiki, the better better the quality and quantity of the information here will be!
