Regarding lists[edit]
For minor characters, just link to Category:Characters ... damn that wont work. What I would do for Category filtering that worked well. Stupid MediaWiki.
Why would we need a distinct list of future books?

- Yeah, if category filtering worked, that'd be awesome. But those lists would just give quick blurbs and provide links to the main article, imo. They are like a coppermind's indices :P
- That Future Books thing wouldn't be just a list of books, but more like the article for all known knowledge on the future books. I for one am sick of saying Alloy isn't the second trilogy. That said, this info may go into a section of Mistborn (series) or something. -- Chaos2651 11:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Regarding links[edit]
They should go to singular pages, templates shouldn't have redirects, and plurals shouldn't really be redirects. IMO
Pages for in-universe things dont have 'The' at the start. The kandra Homeland. Misting and Savant currently redirect to the sections on Allomancy, and ferring to Feruchemy. --Joe ST 10:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- Agreed on the redirects thing (mostly), that's mostly a function of me being tired too late at night and not bothering to fix it. However, I feel Savant is an important enough magical related concept to warrant a link. There could always be a dedicated savant article later. Honestly, I like having these infoboxes, because this lets us know what articles we need. A dedicated savant one would be good. The Misting and Ferring ones are pretty lame though; I was just trying to be complete for now :P So I mostly agree, unless it's especially interesting to have a link. I think savant qualifies. -- Chaos2651 11:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
Regarding multi-boxes[edit]
I'll look at the javascript/css. This was just a copypasta from mediawiki. It'd be much easier to do if we updated to a newer mediawiki, as they have jQuery in them. :D --Joe ST 10:58, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
- Gonna update this week :D -- Chaos2651 11:12, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
