if you've ever looked things up on wowwiki, please note: the vast majority of the editors have moved to wowpedia.org. This was prompted by changes to the wikia terms of use and a forced new skin they would not be able to customize (and broke several features like tooltips and stuff; not only ugly, but broken).
wowpedia.org is hosted by Curse, but at least currently ad-free. The content is a copy of wowwiki as of the time of move, plus new changes from various people who moved. As time goes on, I would expect increasing divergence with 'accuracy' and 'up to date' weighing more and more heavily on the side of wowpedia. Also, Curse has been remarkably non-evil with the whole wowace thing, and nowadays, many addon creators actively champion them, which is to say, they may be annoying with ads for the enduser, but they've supported their golden geese (content creators) very well. Which is really important when you like the content.
Change your bookmarks and toolbar searches and etc, if you want an up to date wiki for WoW.
