Editing WoW:Saving variables between game sessions (section)

== The loading process ==
The variables saved by those directives are not immediately available when your addon loads; instead, they're loaded at a later point. The client fires events to let addons know that their saved variables were loaded. 
# WoW FrameXML code is loaded and executed.
# Addon code is loaded and executed.
# Saved variables for one addon a time are loaded and executed, then [[Events/A#ADDON_LOADED|'''ADDON_LOADED''']] event is fired for that addon.
# '''VARIABLES_LOADED''' event is fired to let addons know that all saved variables were loaded.

Addons should generally use ADDON_LOADED to determine when their saved variables are accessible; the first argument of the event is the name of the addon for which it is being fired; VARIABLES_LOADED should be avoided as it is will not be fired for load-on-demand addons.
