Atrocious plot section

[edit]

What's up with the plot section of this page? It looks like it hasn't been updated in about 10 years. How do we feel about doing subsections based on plot overviews of each of the expansions? It also needs citations. I've added a "needs updating" tag. Comment added by NecroDuke (talk • contribs) 01:36, 28 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah this is really old lol.
I'm not informed on WoW lore to be able to update it though. The whole plot is getting real convoluted. Coulomb1 (talk) 15:11, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I second a plot update but also think it'd be too difficult to do concisely. Burned Toast (talk) 09:30, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Proposal

[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
Not merged due to no consensus. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 07:37, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest it would be best to merge Nostalrius with this page. I assert the other page topic's notability does not meet Wikipedia's Notability Guidelines. I will suggest to merge Nostalrius into the section "Community and study of player interaction," but please provide your opinion if you believe it should find its new home in a different section of the page.

  • Oppose It does seem like Nostalrius is standalone notable. There is a full article here, another here on the closure of Nostalrius and one here about its reopening, amongst others. It's possible Blizzard's shutdown of the server made it notable, but notable is notable. It has enough sources that a merge would not be necessary, nor does it overlap since it was a fanmade creation. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:19, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support In this case, it's less notability and more undue weight. Nostalrius can definitely fit as a section in this article, and as such a split from the main article is not necessary. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 02:28, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose (I am not a WoW player). It seems standalone notable to me (and that is the justification given for the proposal above) for much the same reasons listed above. In response to the undue weight, this is a thing in the real world - to me, it far more merits its own page than many of the purely in-game things that get them. It's likely that someone will use Wikipedia to get information on Nostalrius alone and their needs will best be met with a page of its own. Pinkbeast (talk) 17:40, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the section on security risks the phrase “back account” is likely to be “bank account” 2600:1009:B10B:3AD6:B0B3:7077:7A4F:1416 (talk) 06:38, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: I believe it means "relay back account information" as in "return account information" to the malware operators. The source describes it as "malware designed to steal user names and passwords". Ligaturama (talk) 11:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
