Also potential for liability.
Usually questions along the lines of "Reliable", "On time to work?", " Does he
require frequent supervision", "Is he eligible for rehire?" The potential
employer might ask the old one to confirm the salary range and the position
title, and they might get an answer and maybe not.
They mainly want to confirm that you do (did) work there, your title, and is the
compensation you claimed in your application correct.
It is a bad practice to make those calls until after a firm offer has been made
and accepted.

Subject: Question on Job References
Hey guys, when your new [potential] job calls up your old job to ask stuff
about you, what kind of things do they ask? Do they also ask for proof of my
occupation there? Like a W-2 form or something. And can i coordinate with my
old boss too, like maybe ask him to say certain things about me? ehehehehehehe.
Thanks
