Welcome to the
Site Feedback Forum. This forum is for reporting bugs encountered on Wowhead, as well suggestions that you as a user may want to have implemented on Wowhead. All suggestions will be taken documented, if not responded to. Thus, please avoid bumping posts for the sake of bumping posts; if you have something new or original to add, feel free to! Wowhead may also lock posts which have been “answered,” such as bugs which have been fixed or duplicate topics.
Before posting here, PLEASE make sure your thread meets the
forum rules and that you have read the
Website FAQ and other stickies. Also, please double check that your thread has not already been posted before.
If you have problems with a thread or a poster on the forums or in comments, please send an email to feedback@wowhead.com rather than writing your own thread about him/her/it. This is so we can deal with your issues confidentially.
Enjoy!

FAQQ: When will this bug be fixed?A: As soon as a bug and what causes it is identified, it'll be fixed as soon as possible.
Q: Where did my post go?A: Please see the Rules and Policies section detailed above.
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: Gear Planner! Wishlist! Profiler!A: These features are already in the works and are the
top priority for the Wowhead Team. Included in this post is a small list of what's been going on at Wowhead.
- Saveable item wishlists
- New forum features, including searches, listing posts by user, as well as a host of new moderation tools.
These are generic items that Wowhead has planned, since we're always looking to implement new features! We can't tell you what they are though, because not-so-friendly sites have (had) the habit of borrowing our ideas without credit.
Q: Must can have Linux client!A: Not currently in the plans. For more info, see
here and
here.
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 feedback@wowhead.com requesting a position. For a blogger/editor spot, send a link or attach a sample or two of your writing.
Q: Party Poker popups? Pop unders? What? Why?A: See
this thread for information.
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 more, see
this post by Allakhazam.
Q: Wowhead app. iPhone. Go go go! Mobile site too, plx.A: Please see
this thread, and more specifically
these threads concerning the development of a Wowhead app for iPhones/iTouches. Wowhead would like to, but it may be a long way down the road.
