Check class/race restrictions of quests (in particular #6387 Honor Students)

While leveling on the Stresstest a guide i was following wanted me to pick up and complete https://classic.wowhead.com/quest=6387/honor-students this quest wasn't race locked on private servers but seems to be on real Classic.

Now i noticed that questie had filtered this quest correctly and didn't show it to be available. A validation when loading/import/create a guide that would check for quests that lack the correct race + class restrictions would be cool.

['requiredRaces'] = 6, -- bitmask ['requiredClasses']` = 7, -- bitmask

Changed issue title. What you suggested is already implemented. Whenever a guide uses a restricted quest, restrictions are applied automatically. The [A] tag in this case is optional and can additionally be used for better readability.
In this case the problem is rather the restriction on the specific quest not being present in the quest database.

commented

I know that the [A] tag exist. My proposition was to add sanity/validation checks to poorly written guides that forgot or didn't use the [A] tag. This could be done by using the Questie's DB etc.

commented

There is a validation already when [A] is missing: the missing [A] is simply added in appropriately. Thats was i meant with restrictions are applied automatically. Only instead of Questie the internal database is used.
It would make sense though to also use Questie instead of the internal database when checking for quest restrictions when the option "Use Questie as data source" is selected. This is currently not the case.

https://classicdb.ch/?quest=6181; first comment suggests 6181,6387,6344,9603 all are race specific.
