:My 2¢... Having these articles in this wiki is fine for context for [[Warcraft]] in general and for [[Warcraft III]] specifically, but I also agree they should probably not be in categories better used for [[World of Warcraft]] info and lore. Also having "Blood Elf..." and "High Elf..." preceding every article seems somewhat redundant in the naming department. I would have put Blood Elf (Warcraft III) and High Elf (Warcraft III) sections in the [[Blacksmith]] article rather than have [[Blood Elf Blacksmith]] and [[High Elf Blacksmith]] and just make those two articles redirects to the proper sections, but with [[[[:Category:Warcraft III units]]]]. -- {{user|Fandyllic}} 5:04 PM PDT 30 Apr 2006

Since this wiki is primarily focused on WoW, WoW should have priority in naming. The articles should be moved to a title which includes "(Warcraft III)" or "(War3)", so they don't interfere with WoW specific articles. For instances where they interfere with WoW specific lore, it would be better to have them in a separate Warcraft III specific category. I added "Blood Elf" and "High Elf" to the articles because some of their units have generic names like "archer". -- [[User:DarkTichondrias|DarkTichondrias]] 22:04, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

I have moved these articles out of Category:High Elf, Category:Blood Elf, and Category:Elves, since they were overwhelming those categories. See Category_talk:Elves for the beginning of a debate as to what should be done with them.--Aeleas 12:01, 21 March 2006 (EST)

If these articles remain here, I'll be okay with it. Fully expanded, the name of this wiki would be World of Warcraft Wiki. In fact, the whole idea with calling the game World of Warcraft is (as I reckon it) to cover the world that Warcraft is set in. And if we go with the name of the wiki, it could reasonably cover and include all of these units. It depends on whether or not we give a hoot about Warcraft 3 and its community. It's up to everyone here, I think. Schmidt 22:06, 21 March 2006 (EST)

I'm moving Warcraft III unit stats into separate articles for inclusion in this category, but it will take some time to track them all down.--Aeleas 13:03, 17 April 2006 (EDT)
