Wowhead Archive Non-Functional?

Post by Aliok

I happened to be browsing through old items and quests, and noticed that clicking to the Archive version is returning a database error instead of showing me the archived page.

Item Example: http://www.wowhead.com/item=22394. This used to drop from Jandice Barov (site: Wowpedia) prior to Scholomance's update for MoP.

http://old.wowhead.com/item=22394 should normally show which creature the item dropped from and where.

Quest Example: The Truth Comes Crashing Down

The archived version should display the quest, who gave the quest, who accepted the quest turn-in, and the quest rewards. Also, if you know the exact name you can find this quest by directly typing in the URL for the page - typing it in Wowhead's search field provides no best-guess, and doesn't return any Wowhead search results. (However, it is listed in "Did You Mean... powered by Google" search results.)

I'm sure it's a work in progress. Big move for the team this past week was getting the Mists content live. Now I'm sure there are bug fixes, etc.

Patience grasshopper.

Old.wowhead.com isn't really a priority as it doesn't get much traffic and was something we created for Cataclysm that has only stayed up because people liked the archive, but it's something we're looking into now to see why it isn't working. :)
