Things you can help out with

  • Fill out all those red links in World of Warcraft API!   (though pick in order of likelihood of being useful). Looking at the FrameXML code to find out how the functions are being used is good way to begin. Please do not create stubs if you are not adding new and useful facts - we prefer red links over stubs with no additional information.
  • Copy bolded items in the Global functions list to World of Warcraft API et al.
  • Scan Category:API stubs for unfinished pages!
  • Take a look in Category:Votes for deleting and look for API pages.
  • Help convert old pages to the Help:API Function articles style!
  • Add "Triggers Events" sections to old pages that do not have them (and should have them).

Featured article

Hallow's End is a Halloween-style event that takes place at the mid-end of October. It starts on October 18th and ends on November 1st.

It marks the day the group of undead, who would later be known as the Forsaken, broke free of the Lich King's dominance and once again regained their free will. They celebrate this occasion by setting fire to a wickerman after a short speech from Sylvanas herself and smearing the ashes across their faces.
Hallow's End decorations
Why the Alliance or any other Horde race would celebrate Forsaken's version of the event is unclear. It seems some people will use any excuse to throw a party.
