The Coppermind has spoilers for all of Brandon's published works, now including The Sunlit Man. Information about books that have not yet been released, like Stormlight 5, is allowed only on meta-pages for the books themselves. For more details, see our spoiler policy. To view an earlier version of the wiki without spoilers for a book, go to the Time Machine!

Welcome to the Editor's Corner for the Coppermind! The goal with this page is to give some useful statistics on the state of the wiki, and also give new goals and objectives for editors.

Candidates for Completion

Obviously, a constant goal is to increase quality on the wiki. And while another goal is to have as many articles as possible, many articles are very small stubs which are almost useless. In fact, there are 222 stubs! That's a lot! When you browse through the wiki and see a stub, it's good that the article exists, but it's hard to tell if it's a minor topic or a major one. You may learn facts, but is that a complete article on the subject?

That's where completion comes in.

Here are some stubs that could be close(ish) to Completion. Basically, "completion" means to look for all instances of the subject in the book (ebooks and using word search is really helpful for this), annotations, and other sources, and putting all that information in the article. Think of it as an opposite of a stub. A stub is something that needs expansion. A complete article has literally all known knowledge on the subject, and therefore cannot be expanded. So when you read a complete article, even if it's short, you at least know it's done!

Place articles are typically easy to expand; character articles are some of the harder ones, because you should include things like dialogue from the character (if it exists) to make it a truly complete article.
