-Functions with a \*(``mv\*('' prefix first perform a cursor movement using
-\fBwmove\fP, and return an error if the position is outside the window,
-or if the window pointer is null.
+Functions prefixed with \*(``mv\*('' first perform cursor movement and
+fail if the position
+.RI ( y ,
+.IR x )
+is outside the window boundaries.
+.SH NOTES
+No wide character counterpart functions are defined by the
+\*(``wide\*(''
+.I \%ncurses
+configuration nor by any standard.
+To format and write a wide-character string to a
+.I curses
+window,
+consider using \fI\%swprintf\fP(3) and \fB\%waddwstr\fP(3X) or similar.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+X/Open Curses,
+Issue 4 describes these functions.
+It specifies no error conditions for them.
+.PP
+.I \%ncurses
+defines \fB\%vw_printw\fP and \fB\%vwprintw\fP identically to support
+legacy applications.
+However,
+the latter is obsolete.
+.bP
+X/Open Curses,
+Issue 4 Version 2 (1996),
+marked \fB\%vwprintw\fP as requiring \fI\%varargs.h\fP and
+\*(``TO BE WITHDRAWN\*('',
+and specified \fB\%vw_printw\fP using the \fI\%stdarg.h\fP interface.
+.bP
+X/Open Curses, Issue 5, Draft 2
+(December 2007) marked \fBvwprintw\fP (along with
+\fBvwscanw\fP and the \fItermcap\fP interface) as withdrawn.
+After incorporating review comments,
+this became
+X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009).
+.bP
+.I \%ncurses
+provides \fB\%vwprintw\fP,
+but marks it as deprecated.
