The "Powered By Wowhead" script functionality shows a tooltip for every link that takes you to a valid item, NPC, or spell page on Wowhead. If the link doesn't take you to a valid page, it won't work—that's intended functionality.
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=dog+whistle
isn't a valid Wowhead link—all Wowhead URLs use the item ID number.
Our XML feed DOES have an additional function, where it will return valid XML for an item by name, rather than by number, with the following syntax:
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=dog+whistle&xml
...but this has nothing to do with the "Powered by Wowhead" script, and is not officially supported.

Though, it seems the powered script isn't dying client-side for a link like that, as we get the "Loading..." tooltip. Shouldn't it parse looking for a number after
item=
and then just die client-side if it doesn't find one?

Power.js used to do like pelf says:
Aa.href.match(/...?(item|quest|spell|achievement)=(+)/);
Due to the profiler tooltips, it was changed to:
aK.href.match(/...?(item|quest|spell|achievement|npc|object|profile)=(+)/);

Ah, I see. So it needs to be:
aK.href.match(/...?(?:(item|quest|spell|achievement|npc|object)=(+))|(?:(profile)=(+))/);
Right?

Something like that. I don't know for sure.
Threads like these, I get tugged in two directions: wanting to help and show off, and not wanting to do unpaid work for the Wowhead devs. ;)

They load fine for me, as long as you give them a moment to load. Possibly an issue of our data centers being far apart?
