If Wowpedia remains mostly about lore, then Blizzard would have to decide what is canon and what is not. Warcraft IP might be expanding, but if Arclight Rumble and future mobile titles exist in some alternate timeline not considered canon, any expanded lore from those titles doesn’t have to be recorded on something like Wowpedia.
Simce Chris metzen is creative director of Warcraft IP not just world of warcraft this is possible.
He’s basically the kevin fiege or James gunn of Warcraft
That would cost money. And we all know how bobby feels about spending money on anything that isn’t for himself.
They could keep publishing official Chronicles volumes. That brings in the $$ – B. Kotick approved.
It should be renamed thottbot.
I love browsing lore on Wowpedia.
Even the few outdated articles are interesting because it’s a snapshot of pervious time.

The Lorewalker is still relevant
Ad blockers do help, but what im referring to was code that just straight up yeeted all the extra stuff and kept the page format back to what it was when it was Wikia. And it carries over everywher, on any device even without adblock.
And i for the life of me cannot remember how to even access itS
Thats web api, not in game api.
Wowpedia hosts a lot of the game api, which are used by addons and lack information outside of wowpedia (game does not offer information about them and the information is mostly user created)
Example: search for wowpedia createframe
Those bits of info are always put under different headers in the articles to differentiate the games the info comes from.
Yikes. Not sure if carelessness or autocorrect.
And most of that seems to be kept up by just one person, Ketho. They’ve made a good chunk of addons over the years too. It’s pretty remarkable.
