::And apologies if I'm coming off as rather brusque, this is just a personal project of mine that I was not expecting other people to expand upon at this time.
::Also as Joe said, this is still mostly just an experiment just on WoR.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 06:29, 8 March 2016 (MST)
:I see! Sorry about that.--[[User:Figberts|Figberts]] ([[User talk:Figberts|talk]]) 11:09, 8 March 2016
::Okay, my two cents here: it seems like the more pages that are created, the more chances there are for inconsistencies. For example, in the Mistborn series, you could have a certain concept of feruchemy described in a chapter summary, in a book summary, on a character page (who has that power), on the metal's page, on the Metallic Arts page, etc. And with multiple editors, you can have inconsistencies crop up. So from a strategic point of view, it would seem prudent to keep things neat and tight. With that in mind, it seems like it's kind of redundant to have a book summary, a chapter summary, and an individual page for each chapter. But hey, this is your web site, so I'm not trying to dictate or anything. I haven't even read WoR, so maybe these are needed.

:Inconsistencies are always going to be a concern, but every edit that happens is checked by at least one the admins. Granted they've slipped through before, and I'm sure they will do so again, but they do eventually get resolved. This is partially why not much work on them had been done so far, I wanted to work on making sure each one was up-to-snuff before moving on to the next. And usually I am all for fewer articles, but sometimes fewer doesn't necessarily equate to "neat". My goal for these individual pages is to really dig into each chapter, shining a light on stuff like foreshadowing and easter eggs. And I just think that if all of that was crammed into the single summary page it would get exceedingly cluttered. But to that end I don't think it's redundant at all, rather the three levels would be of differing levels of abstraction. Sometimes you need a very cursory summary, and at other times an in-depth one.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 13:57, 11 March 2016 (MST)
== Terris Prophecy quotes ==
Hey Figberts, would you be able to add citations for the additions you made to the [[Terris Prophecies]] article? It would be particularly useful if you could add chapter refs for the quotes but any and all info you can add would be a great help. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 06:03, 16 March 2016 (MDT)
Sure! I'll get them.
: For references please use {{t|book ref|hoa|4}} for example to link to chapter 4 of ''Hero of Ages''. {{t|epigraph ref}} works similarly for linking to the bits at the top. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 15:23, 17 March 2016 (MDT)
