Editing WoW:Slash commands (old)

{{tocright}}
''Note: This alternate reference is not necessarily up to date. See [[Slash commands]] for current list.''

'''Slash commands''' are hooks left by the developers that players can use to create macros or perform certain actions. Text-based [[chat]] in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' uses slash commands. (Those familiar with IRC will feel right at home.) See also the other alternative reference [[List of slash commands (old)]].

== Reference ==
The [[List of Slash Commands]] at one point used to be the old raw complete 'enUS' list, and before that [[All slash commands]] held that honor. Now they are the same [[List of slash commands (old)]] list. Below is the 'less raw' reference from those, that can still be much easier to read than [[Slash commands]].

A slash command generally takes the form:
 <some command> [optional text]

For instance, one might wish to send an ''emote'' to the entire chat channel. One would then type something along the lines of:
 /me nods head and gazes around
The above slash command, in some games, would send the string of text to the chat channel prefaced by the character name sending the command like so:
<br />
<font color="darkorange"><character> nods head and gazes around</font>
