* Fill out all those red links in [[World of Warcraft API]]! &nbsp; (though pick in order of likelihood of being useful). [[Viewing Blizzard's WoW user interface code|Looking at the FrameXML]] code to find out how the functions are being used is good way to begin. Please do not create stubs if you are not adding new and useful facts - we prefer red links over stubs with no additional information.
==== Things you can help out with ====
* Copy bolded items in the [[Global functions]] list to [[World of Warcraft API]] et al.
* Feel free to edit, correct or add any customization content
* Scan [[:Category:API stubs]] for unfinished pages!
* Take a look in [[:Category:Votes for deleting]] and look for API pages.
* Help convert old pages to the [[Help:API Function articles]] style!
* Add "[[Help:API Function articles#Triggers Events|Triggers Events]]" sections to old pages that do not have them (and should have them).
