→ UI Tech. Details

WoW constants are global WoW Lua variables, which are automatically replaced with their locale specific values when used within any XML UI .xml or .lua file. They are provided by the World of Warcraft base UI, and can be used in addons.

Most of these values originally came from the old Cosmos AddOn Blizzard Commands and the WoW.exe itself. The list here will be out of date but most of these values should still be in use. Feel free to update the list.

Messages, Chat Log Messages and Other Messages can be considered strings. %s,%f,%g,%d are used to substitute values in, be it a player name or a numerical value; see the format function. Some of these are meant as the complete message to be displayed in chat or on screen, while others are common words used in substitutions and construction of a message.

It is unknown how these messages are affected by localization (someone with a non -en should expand on this!) This section also needs much work to separate messages into their proper categories, Chat and on-screen Messages need to be separated (Careful of alphabetization).

There are now separate pages for ERR_.. WoW Constants/Errors and SPELL_.. WoW Constants/Spells (including SPELL_FAILED).

Update suggestions[edit]

Something tells me "Messages" and "Other Messages" should be merged. I don't quite see the difference between them?
I posted a complete list of updated constants in the Discussion page of this article (extracted from GlobalStrings.lua). Someone needs to update the categories and remove obsolete constants.
Once done, the summary of this articles would also need to be updated to mention all globals came from GlobalStrings.lua, and not the now defunct Cosmos Blizzard Commands and WoW.exe, which is no longer true.
As for how those variables are populated for non-EN versions, this comment from the GlobalStrings.lua file might explain it: '-- AUTOMATICALLY GENERATED -- DO NOT EDIT!'. I would assume this means the file is localized for each version automatically.
