You now store
patch notes, and that's very cool. It would be helpful if the pages for spells, items, npcs, etc also showed any officially-documented changes that happened to them. They could go, collapsed by default, under the tooltip box above the comments tabs, or maybe somewhere more appropriate.
For example, when someone looks up
Death Coil, it would show the lines that spell was mentioned in patch notes:
Patch 3.3.0- Unholy Blight: This talent now deals only 10% of Death Coil damage as a damage-over-time effect on the target.
Patch 3.1.2Patch 3.1.0- (Spell #49532) now procs a free Death Coil instead of requiring you to push the button. Ranks reduced from 5 to 3.
- Glyph of Dark Death: Increases the damage done by Death Coil by 15%.
- Death Coil: This spell will no longer sometimes cause the death knight to animate a swing twice.
It would help to see when a boss mob stopped doing something (
Devourer of Souls, 3.3.2) or when some effect got changed (
Pet passive avoidance removed for PVP, 3.3.0). It came up when I started some research on a class I hadn't played in a while, and someone mentioned something that was different than I remembered, and it had changed in a patch since I had played that class.
This is a low priority suggestion and I don't expect it to get implemented right away. But it's something for you to consider. :)
