FAQ
Q: When will this bug be fixed?A: As soon as we identify the bug and what causes it, it'll be fixed as soon as possible. Please note that this process is not always immediate, so please be patient while we work on resolving the issue.
Q: Where did my post go?A: Please see the Rules and Policies section detailed in the following section.
Q: Where did my screenshots go?A: Screenshots are regularly replaced by better ones. We try to keep as many as we can, but eventually end up deleting a lot of previously approved ones to make room for more submissions.
Q: So what features are you guys working on?A: We can't tell you what features we're working on, because not-so-friendly sites have (had) the habit of borrowing our ideas without credit.
Q: Are there any plans to develop a Linux client?A: Not currently in the plans. For more info, see
these and
threads.
Q: Can I be a moderator/blogger/editor/someone important?A: Yes... and no. The easiest way to achieve one of many positions on the Wowhead team is to show us that you have become part of the community; you add good comments to pages, take lots of screenshots, or post on the forums constructively. You
will be recognized.
If you're thinking to ask to become a moderator rather than be recognized, please reconsider. This is a position not handed out lightly. In the event you'd like to be an editor/blogger (or if you
really,
really,
really think you have what it takes to become a moderator), you can email requesting a position. For a blogger/editor spot, send a link or attach a sample or two of your writing.
Q: I am getting pop-unders and Party Poker popups while browsing the site!A: See
this thread for information on these types of advertisements.
Q: How are stat weightings normalized in the comparison and weighting tools? What do the scores mean?A: See
this blog post for information.
Q: US only competitions make me sad. :(. Why?A: It is difficult for Wowhead to research and ensure that it complies with laws in every nation of interest. For a more in-depth explanation, see
this post by Allakhazam.
Q: Will be there a Wowhead app for iPhones/iTouchs or a mobile site?A: Please see
this thread, and more specifically
these threads concerning the development of a Wowhead app for iPhones/iTouches. Wowhead would like to make one, but it may be a long way down the road.
Rules and Policies
See
"About Us" and
"Privacy Policy"- Any non-bug or suggestion related posts will be deleted or moved to their proper forum.
- New topics created for known issues may be locked, deleted, or moved (or some combination of the above). Check the Compilation sticky before posting a new thread.
- Please do not bump threads or spam existing threads on any given issue or idea. We cannot guarantee a response to your thread, but we can guarantee that it will be read and noted. Bumping/spamming a thread only slows down this process, so please don't do it. :)
Bug Reporting
- Check the post above to see if the bug has already been reported or the suggestion asked for.
- Check for other threads on the same issue or suggestion. If you find one, please add to that thread instead of making a new one.
- Supply screenshots or links whenever possible.
- Provide as much information as possible. What page it was on, what you were doing there, what you would like it to look like, what browser you are using, etc.
- Label your thread! It would be very helpful to add to the beginning of your thread name "Site Bug", "Suggestion", "Forum Bug", etc.
- Please use proper English, as well as clear language to describe the issue. Wowhead cannot address things that are not understandable.
