Race ideas

Race ideas represents the best efforts of the Wowpedia community to create a fact-based analysis regarding why a race may or may not be included as a playable race as World of Warcraft expands. Please do not add any datamined content or speculation based on datamined content (see WP:DNP).

Race qualification factors
It is mandatory that new race sections are not added unless they have been agreed upon by majority consensus in the talk page first.

When proposing new race ideas please use your common sense and try to stick to Humanoid-type races rather than other monster types — the Scourge, for example, is impossible as a playable race, as are giant-sized races and beast-like owlkin. In addition, due to Blizzard's policy of choosing original and unique races, it's a rule of thumb that any "race" so physically similar to a currently playable race that it could imitate the other with just a change of clothes should not be added to this list. This includes Wildhammer dwarves, high elves, and leper gnomes amongst others - for these, see Subspecies ideas.

It is also a good idea to consider Wowpedia:Race speculation methods and the Wowpedia:Rumored races test.

Making changes
If you think something on this page is inaccurate, please check the discussion tab before you change it yourself. Let people know you think it is incorrect, and leave your ideas and sources for your information. Together, we can agree on how feasible it is. Only add verifiable and cited information. If something is added that lacks a source and proper citation, it will probably be viewed as speculation and will be removed or demoted to the neutral "?".

It is mandatory that anything other than minor edits are discussed through peer review here and agreed upon by group consensus. Please discuss ideas on the talk page if you feel there should be changes to the main article, so the page does not become a battle field for clashing ideas. #FF6666
