Wowpedia

Wowpedia is a wiki about the Warcraft fictional universe. It covers all of the Warcraft games, including the MMORPG World of Warcraft. It is both a specialized wiki built around the Warcraft universe and a collaborative space for players to develop and publish strategies for Warcraft games. It was officially announced on 25 October 2010.
History and description
Wowpedia began as WoWWiki on 24 November 2004 as a source of information pertaining to the World of Warcraft universe, including the RTS games, novels, the RPG reference books, manga, and other written sources, along with the WoW expansion packs, The Burning Crusade, Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm.
In 2007, they joined Wikia, and in the process transferred the rights to the "WoWWiki" domain name to Wikia. In late 2010, Wikia introduced a new fixed-width skin which caused layout issues with many articles, and broke javascript based features such as tooltips. As a result, the content and article history was forked to Wowpedia.org on 20 October 2010. Wowpedia currently runs on MediaWiki. In general, most if not all the administrators of WoWWiki moved to Wowpedia as well.
