[[User:Fbstj|Joe]] has persuaded me that the titling conventions for books have been a little silly. Before, they always had the prefix (book) to them. Now, this works great for [[Elantris]] because Elantris can refer to the [[Elantris (city)|city]] or the book itself. It makes less sense for [[the Way of Kings]], however.

 

 

The [[Mistborn series]] is a little more complicated. The first Mistborn novel, for one thing, can be referred to as MB1, Mistborn, [[The Final Empire]], or [[Mistborn: The Final Empire]]. It's annoying. In any case, here's the deal on the Mistborn novels. [[The Well of Ascension]] and [[the Hero of Ages]] articles are simply titled that. There's some confusion, because [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]] liked to refer to those as Mistborn: The Well of Ascension, but those weren't actually the titles written on the book (the hardbacks of those were The Well of Ascension: Book Two of Mistborn, and we're just going to exclude the subheading here). Hence, [[the Well of Ascension]], [[the Hero of Ages]], and [[the Alloy of Law]] are all the obvious titles, without the (book) suffix. Note that [[Well of Ascension]] and [[Hero of Ages]] actually refer to in-world things. For your wiki links, if you want to refer to the books, include the "the."
