WoWWiki was the original name of Wowpedia when it was launched on 24 November 2004. In 2007 the wiki joined Wikia and in the process gave legal rights to the wowwiki.com domain to Wikia.
In 2010, mandatory changes to the Wikia interface broke some of the wiki's advanced functionality and added many undesirable new limitations. As a result, all of the admins who were not Wikia employees and essentially all of the active users moved to Wowpedia in October 2010.
Due to Wikia's policies, wowwiki.com still exists as a copy of older Wowpedia content, although it continues to receive edits from those who do not know the site has moved. Wikia has hired a contractor named Raylan13 to perform updates. Additionally, a user named Fandyllic appears to be trying to resurrect the site.
