Change $wgSitename.  Also, if your meta namespace was warcraftwiki, then
you'll probably want to move all pages in the "Warcraftwiki:" namespace to
the "Gameswiki:" namespace, and presumably there will be other references
lying around in article texts that you'll want to change.  I don't know of
any magical way to do this effortlessly, although a bot or the
moveBatch.phpmaintenance script might be helpful if you've got a ton
of pages to move.
