Talk:Lore character

Characters removed from WoW
Shouldn't we add characters that were removed from World of Warcraft, since they are a part of the lore, but doesn't appear in-game? or should they get their own page? - Aedror42 (talk) 19:25, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * NPCs that have been removed from WoW should not join the lore character... If they were given a new category, what would you suggest as the name of it? 19:30, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do you have a name of a lore character added then removed to WoW, please? I can't find any...

 * I've just looked through the categories concerning removed stuff, and i discovered that no "important" have been removed characters (i could have sworn that there was some, oh well), i guess we can ignore my question then :P - Aedror42 (talk) 20:07, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, I think some of the guys of the events (Scourge invasion, AQ war effort, Dark Portal opens...) and the NPCs of Alterac Valley were removed, but their status is a different one. If something, we should create another page, or just leave them at their respective "removed from WoW" category.--Lon-ami (talk) 21:13, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Continuing this topic... After the Shattering alot of NPCs were removed, should we create a page for them (page like this one) and the other NPCs that has been removed? - Aedror (talk) 21:05, 30 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Done :).
 * Removed character
 * Removed location

How is this page written?
I don't understand how this page is being written. It says it's characters that appear in lore but not in any games, but most of the Warcraft game sections include characters that explicitly appear in those games (such as Alleria and Antonidas). Is it characters that appeared in that game's lore but not in the game itself? Because again, that's explicitly incorrect for the same reason. Is it any characters who have not appeared in World of Warcraft? Because there are several characters present who don't fit that bill and several absent who do.

In short, this page not only needs a massive overhaul but a solid decision about what, exactly, it's supposed to be a list of. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 22:32, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I think it is any character that has appeared somewhere in the franchise (the "lore") but has not appeared in World of Warcraft (the "not lore", as everything else is just WoW's backstory). Even so, it appears to be defined by whoever is working on it at the time, handed off from one obsessive editor to the next.-- 23:15, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * The way I see it the page is kind of useless, I only use Category:Lore characters. I use it to tag characters that are canon but have not physically appeared in any of the Warcraft games. Xporc (talk) 07:23, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * This is how it should be. -- MyMindWontQuiet 12:40, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Amen! --Mordecay (talk) 23:13, 22 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the organization of the page is useful, so long as there are clear and consistent rules for what the page and category contain. -- Dark T Zeratul (talk) 21:55, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
