An Admin of Classic WoW Wiki in his misguided attempt to remove any of the legitimate classic WoW information has deleted nearly every single page relating to the original game, we must stop this and get it restored if only for the sake of freedom of information, let alone providing a credible and readily available source of information regarding the game!
http://classic-wow.wikia.com/wiki/Message_Wall:Raylan13?sort=nr
The only thing available on the official Classic server is Westfall and the Barrens. If someone is playing some other content, then it isn't official and isn't supported. As you can see, those two zones are almost entirely built out here, and the intent is to keep building.
go ahead and check whats still remaining, there isnt much... he has even deleted the lore!
Did that idiot really just wipe the entire vanilla wow wiki? That was the only source of stat rolls on items. Who the hell owns that place? Is there a good contact? That guy is a mentally unhinged buffoon.
I really hope there is a backup of that stuff.... that was 10k+ pages of information ffs.
HAHAHAH

He wiped the pages for every dungeon except the ones based in Barrens and Westfall. wtf
Hopefully someone else with privileges can ban this dude and restore the pages. I'm not familiar with wikia, but there's gotta be a changelog/backup system.

That wiki was a huge source for overly spastic nerds to dump information on. That idiot completely destroyed everything if there is no backup.
he did massive damage already. I've been using cached versions to read.
Wayback machine and move on.
Wow, why would someone do that?
Well it's accurate at least now, that's all that exists in classic wow but you can't even enter them.
I mean yeah it's pretty crazy to delete every bit of information and just keep Westfall and the barrens but it's pretty frigging hilarious haha
Looks like they're trying to compete with WoWhead Classic. Stupid move.
The Wiki site, aside from the information has one of the worst UIs I've ever experienced on a site. It's just littered with ads, more so than WoWhead.
He's a staff member? Must've forgotten to take his meds or something...
Wow, why would someone do that?
To avoid the drama when 2018 xyz does not match what wiki said 2004 xyz was.
Wikipedia in general is pretty inaccurate at best and intentionally misleading at worst.
Wow, why would someone do that?
Simple. Now you have to use wowhead.
Classic database is probably next. Unless someone has it archived on a flash drive.....
Knew that was going to come in handy. :)

Those eastern European sites are more accurate any way even if they have a few things wrong.
The only reason I can see for doing this is laziness. Instead of starting a new Wiki solely about "World of Warcraft: Classic", they just took an existing one that was about what is commonly referred to as "vanilla" and deleted everything in it.
Scummy.
It's 1984.
It's so they can say it was always this way and old folks are not remembering how vanilla actually was.
That way the can put whatever they want into classic and no one is the wiser.
We've always had sharding. You're just not remembering correctly.

Kind of like how Shazaam actually existed. Where the Genie was portrayed by Sinbad?
