I'm sorry if this has been brought up earlier, but it would be nice to get some clarification on this.
Wowhead is currently split in two: the normal BC verison of the site, and the coming WotLK version of the site. I am guessing that when WotLK is released, that part of the site will take over the regular domain names, and the current version will be removed.
So what will happen to the urls used in comments now? On most comments I recently wrote, I just used the regular url which I expect will cause no future problems. But what about the comments where I e.g. link to an achievement? These currently include the "wotlk" part in the url. Will I have to edit them? Will they be parsed and corrected by a bot? Will both the regular and wotlk urls work in the future?
Hope I didn't make my message too fuzzy to understand.

The wotlk version of the site is MERGED into the current revision of the site. All of the wotlk comments and data get entered into the currently existing information. Nothing is lost.

Yeah, I apparently understood that, which I commented in the first part of my post just to clarify how I thought it would be.
My main concern was comments including the "wotlk" address. At least one of my current comments link to an achievement, using the temporary url. At least, I think it's temporary. Will I have to go back and edit these manually when the site is merged?

Ok, since it seems noone understands, I'll make it as simple as possible.
Will the link in
this comment
be obsolete when WotLK arrives?

If I recall correctly they adjusted all the links during the merger last time, but it was quite a long time ago so I might be incorrect. It certainly wouldn't be hard for them to run a replace on the comments for "wotlk.wowhead.com" and replace it with "wowhead.com"

I have to confirm with Skosiris on this, but as far as I know the plan is to set up a redirection so you guys won't have to do anything unless the link format changes completely, which I don't see happening.

Ah, nice to know that I won't have to go back and edit. ^^,
