Talk:Fourth War

Mission lore
Can we use this Wowhead article for expanding the lore?--Kandooww ^^ (talk) 20:24, 18 May 2018 (UTC)
 * As long as it's in a clearly-delimited section, I guess? I have the feeling those missions may change a lot for release Xporc (talk) 20:45, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Name
Would it be ok to use this as source for the proper name of the event? Technically, if i understand correctly, expansions don't take the definite article so this should be about the event, not the expansion.

Regarding the Blood War, my only concern would be if we know for sure if it is supposed to be capitalized or nah? Otherwise I don't mind using it. --Mordecay (talk) 11:01, 8 September 2018 (UTC)


 * First I would say yes, the more sources the better. Not the best but it is something. About the second, no idea, maybe asking a Blizz employee? Though it would make sense if it was capitalized, otherwise would be strange since it seems the official name :/ --Ryon21 (talk) 13:17, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

The Third Side
As both on Zandalar and Kul Tiras there were Old God activity during the events, should we list Old Gods' forces as the third side of the Blood War's warbox? I'm putting it in for now, but the discuss is still open. 15:09, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Considering 8.1, no opposition from me. Xporc (talk) 11:05, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

Fourth War
IMO, "Fourth War" would be a better name for this article given that that name is actually used in-game and would thus probably be more familiar to readers than "Blood War", which is only mentioned in the Blizzard Museum and has never been used anywhere in published material (as far as I know, anyway). -- 07:29, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I'd personally wait until BlizzCon for such a move, you never know with Blizzard. The reveal that this was the fourth war was so poorly-handled... Xporc (talk) 07:41, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I think it should be moved, if for no other reason than the Fourth War is actually used in game. Blood War was only used at an event as far as I can tell.--TheUltimate360427 (talk) 10:18, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with xporc. And that this war is called the Fourth is also a joke while having the Legion invasion and the Alliance-Horde war. --Ryon21 (talk) 10:25, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * My reasoning for waiting a few weeks is that, while we got a Veteran of the Fourth War trophy, maybe Blizzard means the entire war that spanned WoW is the Fourth War, considering the rumours about the Alliance & Horde ending as pvp factions. I just don't know. Xporc (talk) 12:03, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
 * That's a fair reasoning, I think. I'll see if I can get the opportunity to ask at BlizzCon. In the meantime, though, it's probably reasonable to at least leave the Fourth War redirect. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:02, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
