The [[Mistborn (series)|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."

So, hooray, all the unnecessary (book) suffixes are gone. However, for series, we will probably use the convention <nowiki>[[Mistborn (series)]], [[Warbreaker (series)]]</nowiki>, etc. when the series doesn't have a spiffy title like [[The Stormlight Archive]]. If you want to link to the Mistborn series, you can always use [[Mistborn series]], which will redirect to the right article. The parentheses are there because that's consistent with wiki formatting.
