Important Notes
- This addon targets Interface 120001 (Midnight expansion)
- WoW uses Lua 5.1 — standard library differences apply
- Always verify on warcraft.wiki.gg — some APIs change between expansions
- Deprecated APIs may still work but should be replaced with current equivalents
Limitations
- →Targets Interface 120001 only
- →Requires verification for API changes between expansions
How it compares
It provides direct access to authoritative wiki documentation rather than relying on cached or local header files.
