WoWWiki is a wiki dedicated to cataloguing Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft Universe (with a focus on World of Warcraft), covering the entire Warcraft series of games, reference books, strategy guides, novels, and other sources. WoWWiki is a site about the game, but it is not affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment, the creators of WoW. This web-based database of information is made up entirely of user contributions, and uses MediaWiki software. You are invited to chat, discuss wiki issues, notify them of important developments and just make yourself at home. To be able to edit the articles, you must first register with the website. WoWWiki is not a copy of Wikipedia, they do many things differently, but they're aiming toward similar high standards where describing game mechanics, geography, in-game occurrences and lore. WowWiki strives to be as neutral as possible. It doesn’t decide what is “official” and what isn't, that is Blizzard's job, but tries to present all sides of any valid controversy.

“WoWWiki.com was launched on the 24th November 2004 by Rustak, in conjunction with AlexanderYoshi, as a source of information pertaining to World of Warcraft and the interface modification suite Cosmos. Since the launch, the wiki has expanded massively to cover the entirety of the Warcraft Universe, including the RTS games, novels, the World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game books, manga, and other written sources, along with the WoW expansion pack, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
It is also a primary and popular source for World of Warcraft interface customization and information (such as Cosmos) as Blizzard Entertainment themselves do not release documentation on the programming interface. On 2 May 2007, it was announced that WoWWiki would be moving to Wikia, joining major wikis such as Memory Alpha, Wookiepedia and Uncyclopedia.”
