UPDATE:  An explanation of how the authenticator helps you in this situation.  Thanks, Lissanna.

WOW Top List

Apparently Blizzard keeps track of the most popular things or quests in the game and posts them here.  Infinite Dust is the most auctioned item currently and copper bars are the most popular created item.  When it comes to the most completed quest, Taking Battle to the Enemy is both #1 and #2.

WOW Insider's dug up a neat tool that will explain line-by-line just what a macro does.  In case you can't figure it out on your own (or are learning to create macros yourself).
