In the World of Warcraft, a macro is a method of combining several actions to execute in a single button press or keystroke.
A macro may also refer to some automated method (programmed keystrokes and/or mouse movements) to fight or repeat some action. Macros, if performed outside of the standard game client may be considered cheating.
Macros in World of Warcraft 2.0
The 2.0 release of the World of Warcraft game engine revamped how macros were made and how they were used.Template:Ref

Welcome to the macros section. Here you will find sample macros others have developed to meet a particular need. If you are unclear what a slash command, macro or script is, you are encouraged to visit the UI Beginners Guide. Although slash commands, macros and scripts are technically different, the term macro is often used loosely.
If you need detailed instructions for creating your first macro, please visit HOWTO: Make a Macro. If you have questions regarding the limitations and capabilities of macros, please visit UI FAQ/Macros and Scripts. If you have questions concerning the logic of a particular macro, you may find your answers under the World of Warcraft API.
This section is broken down by macro use or application. General purpose macros used by all classes can be found under Useful macros. Macros that are class specific can be found under the respective class page.
You will notice a navigation box on many of the macro pages including this one. This box can help you quickly move between various collections of macros.
One final note. Macro functionality may change as Blizzard continues to evolve World of Warcraft. Over time, some macros may cease to function. Keep this in mind when working with a macro written by someone else.
Have fun and good luck!
