Old / Mixed information

Is it relevant to keep the 9551 (3.0.9) information? Anyone using WoTLK would be looking for information on 3.3.5a.

  • Nope, can be removed, as long as wotlk and pre-wotlk information is preserved.

The mix of 3.2 and Cataclysm saves space, but can be a bit confusing. Cataclysm doesn't use Loc anymore for instance.

  • That's why "modern"-style docs use Loc and only "use" one column for it: People regard columns as 4 bytes, but they are not. Loc is just 13*4 bytes < Cata and 4 bytes >= Cata. Thus, documentation is correct.

I propose the following changes:

Remove 9551 section. (Unless it's identical to the one used in Vanilla/TBC?)
Update 3.2 section to 3.3.5a
Give Cataclysm its own section.
  • Preserve or verify equality to BC, yes, yes.
