In Vanilla when using noggenfogger elixir and going into a form as a druid, the skeleton appearance would remain. However, in classic you still show as a bear/cat. It’s something I loved for pvp because your opponent would have a harder time telling which form you were currently in

It was actually nerfed in vanilla to not work with shapeshift.
I’d love for them to fix this… But they wont. 
Yes this bug has even been acknowledged by Blizzard themselves and it still hasn’t been patched
This is incorrect Noggenfogger cloaked shapeshifting in vanilla

Sorry dont know how to post links in code text.
That clearly shows blues talking about it pre TBC
This is a private server / early vanilla thing it seems.
See my post “the bug druid bug list” for video proof
Also, blizzard already acknowledged this bug in a since taken down post of known issues
hope they never fix it, it pisses me off that all druids are skeletons. so original, NOT
No…it was definitely patched back in Vanilla after many many complaints about them. Specifically in WSG where seeing druid’s shapeshifted form was very important.
Did you go to the link or what?
Its literally in the frist 5 min.
Are you full quid or what? It existed but was patched before / in 1.12.
Go to the link! Read the blue post! -_- so ignorant.
I’m just gonna go ahead and stop all this debate right here
Here is an archived post of the known issues list with blizzard explicitly saying showing forms with noggenfogger up is a bug

Noggenfogger Elixir does not retain the skeleton model on a shapeshifted Druid
Instead of patching this they just deleted the post
The cat is already out of the bag though
As you said, go read the blue post
I think at some point in vanilla they either made it not work, or made it work. i recall playing a druid and it shifting would remove the skeleton buff. you also could not mount as skeleton. silly changes
There’s multiple vanilla video showing Noggenfogger cloaked shifting
There’s also a blue post confirming it is a classic bug
I don’t know why we’re continuing to debate this. There’s nothing left to talk about.
Fix it
regardless of whether they acknowledged it or not the fact remains it was removed in VANILLA.
Even learnt to post in code lines just so it’s easier for you to copy and past and see the post from blues about it from 2006.

Classic isn’t vanilla.
Trust me, I of all people have fought for keeping vanilla vanilla but at the end of the day this is Classic.
You’re fighting an uphill battle, blizzard already acknowledged it’s not working as intended, vanilla or not.
Also, the change you’re referring to I’m 99% positive was the TBC prepatch. So for basically the entire duration of vanilla noggen cloaked shapeshifting. as multiple videos have shown
At the end of the day though, Blizzard just does whatever they want. All of this debate we have on these forums is objectively pointless. If Blizzard says that’s the way it is, then that’s the end of the story. They say that noggen cloaks shifting, but they don’t fix it.
So we’re left here having pointless debates with everything in limbo.

Noggenfogger smaller buff also used to stack with world enlarger to make you so so tiny. So disappointing that this doesn’t work anymore.
