How does one look into item ID

[mousepad]

for example engineering, lets say I have an item crafted by Mousepad, would you guys see the item as ''crafted by Mousepad'' or crafted by ''insert ID number''?

like if you were the owner of the server, how is it seen?

I don't know what version of WoW this was implemented, but a field exists in the item object that defines the creator ID's GUID. If that field has a value that isn't 0, then the server can get the player's name from that and send it when the client requests information about the item.

what about professions..can they see what professions I ever had or what skillups I had at any point in time or does that get erased?

That information is not included directly, but it can be sent. When you link the profession from your spell book it includes all that, when a player clicks on the link the player that clicked it requests the info from the server which retrieves and sends it all.
