Coppermind:Welcome
Welcome to the Coppermind, the comprehensive wiki about Brandon Sanderson, his novels, and the cosmere, by the official Brandon Sanderson fansite, 17th Shard. Want to know more about the Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, Elantris, Warbreaker, the Alcatraz series, and Brandon's numerous short stories? You've come to the right place! We have 4,862 articles and we're expanding frequently!
Discovering us for the first time? Did you know that all of Brandon's adult fiction entries are all set in the same universe? It's true! They are all in a universe called the cosmere, sharing the same mythology, rules to magic, and more. Some reading you might want to check out as an introduction:

To Do
Would you like to help the Coppermind to get better? There's plenty of room for improvement, but where to start?
Book Pages
Many pages on book pages themselves could use serious expansion. The Mistborn trilogy's book articles are serious stubs, as well as Warbreaker and Elantris. When editing book pages, a couple sections you may want to consider:
- Main characters
- Plot Summary
- Magic
Avoid pure lists, give each of these sections some meat! :)
On these articles, it'd also be appropriate to include some information about Brandon's process of writing the books (similar to many Wikipedia articles on movies having a "Production" section), if you know some fun factoids.
Main Characters
Of character articles, there are some pretty serious holes. Think about expanding main characters, as those should probably be the most extensive of all character articles. The Stormlight Archive main characters are okay, but think about editing Vivenna or Sarene. In edition, Mistborn characters like Kelsier, Vin, Elend, and Sazed could use some section breaks for clarity.
References
If you are editing for the first time, don't worry too much about adding citations for every fact--content always comes first. That said, if you're one of those people who stares at the Interview Database a lot, you might want to help adding citations to the many articles in need of citations.
General Tasks
Check out articles requiring urgent attention, articles that should be a top priority in expanding or fixing.
There are a great deal of wanted pages--that is, those wiki links that are in red instead of blue, which represent articles that don't exist. Check out the page of all wanted articles.
And, if you want to enter the realm of torment, you could always expand one of many, many stubs.
I need some help!
Not to fear! We have some guides to help you through the editing process.
Happy editing! Feel free to talk on our Coppermind forums if you have additional questions.
