Kirkburn from the great WoWWiki (I like their one line description of us, and yes we do link to them all the time) writes to tell us that they have cracked 45,000 articles on their site as of last night. From Arathi Basin to Zul'jin, they now have over 45,000 articles on everything having to do with World of Warcraft. Congrats to them!I've only ever created one over there (and it was for a joke), but all of us here at WoW Insider have nothing but respect for all the diligent archivists over at the Wiki. They have a terrific resource over there, and it is as clear an authority as they come, especially on a lot of the lore and background information on the game. Great job, all, on 45,000 articles, and keep up the good work.
Kirkburn also tells there are updates due over there as well-- sometime before the end of the year, they're planning an update to MediaWiki 1.11. And they're also going to incorporate more with the Wikia network, which runs all kinds of niche wikis like this one, by creating a single logon across all the sites. Sounds like things are jumping over at WoWWiki, and we're glad to hear it.

/me yays, and such :)
I'm being spammed with "OVER NINE THOUSAND" on the WoWWiki IRC now >_<
I started a little discussion earlier today asking how the site can be made easier to use for newbies, if anyone wants to suggest ideas, see http://www.wowwiki.com/WoWWiki_talk:Village_pump#User_friendliness
May the citing be with you.

Quite a few Blogger names missing from the WoW Insider entry, Kirky. If I wasn't admittedly paranoid and mentally unhinged, I would think you left us out on purpose for some evil master scheme...

I used to add a ton of info to the Wiki back when it was still young and little more than a depository for Cosmos info. My focus was mostly on Lore articles (characters in particular), and there are tons of pages on there with my name as the first contributor. (FeldmanSkitzoid)
But as it grew, there was less info to spread that wasn't already on there (and more competition to get it up in a timely manner), and I gradually lost interest. But I still update it when I see something is wrong.
I'm amazed by how far the Wiki has come over the years. There are some really gifted people running it now.
