What this archive is—and is not
This is historical documentation. Old pages may describe mechanics that never existed in official Classic WoW, and outdated installation or server-status material will not be carried into the finished archive.
Preservation plan
The material worth keeping
The final archive will focus on original content that cannot be found in official Classic: custom zones, dungeons, raids, races, professions and class experiments.

Custom world content
Windhorn Canyon, Gilneas, Crescent Grove, Hateforge Quarry and other lost locations.
