Editing WoW:Battle.net API

This is the main reference for the WoW part of the {{link-battle.net}} API (previously, generically called the 'Web API', also known as 'Blizzard Community Platform API' or 'Blizzard Entertainment Web API'). The "Battle.net API", is a web-specific set of APIs for accessing official {{link-wow}} community site information. Much of the information on using this API, its gotchas and quirks, as well as tips and tricks, are provided by the community via the official forum. However, Blizzard has an official site dedicated to supporting usage of the API ([https://dev.battle.net dev.battle.net]).
