Would you like to help the Coppermind to get better? There's plenty of room for improvement, but where to start?
*'''Finding or fixing [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]]'''
 
*'''Categorizing [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
====Book Pages====
*'''Adding photos to pages'''
 
Many pages on book pages themselves could use serious expansion. The Mistborn trilogy's book articles are serious stubs, as well as [[Warbreaker]] and [[Elantris (book)|Elantris]]. When editing book pages, a couple sections you may want to consider:
 
*Main characters
*Plot Summary
*Magic
 
Avoid pure lists, give each of these sections some meat! :)
 
On these articles, it'd also be appropriate to include some information about Brandon's process of writing the books (similar to many Wikipedia articles on movies having a "Production" section), if you know some fun factoids.
 
====Main Characters====
 
Of character articles, there are some pretty serious holes. Think about expanding main characters, as those should probably be the most extensive of all character articles. The Stormlight Archive main characters are okay, but think about editing [[Vivenna]] or [[Sarene]]. In edition, Mistborn characters like [[Kelsier]], [[Vin]], [[Elend Venture|Elend]], and [[Sazed]] could use some section breaks for clarity.
 
====References====
 
If you are editing for the first time, don't worry too much about adding citations for every fact--content always comes first. That said, if you're one of those people who stares at the Interview Database a lot, you might want to help adding citations to the many [[:Category:Articles in need of citations|articles in need of citations]].
 
====General Tasks====
 
Check out [[:Category:Articles in need of attention|articles requiring urgent attention]], articles that should be a top priority in expanding or fixing.
 
There are a great deal of wanted pages--that is, those wiki links that are in red instead of blue, which represent articles that don't exist. Check out the page of [[Special:WantedPages|all wanted articles]], or perhaps more usefully, there's a big list of wanted articles sorted by series in [[Project:Articles to be written]] (lots of Stormlight ones there, if you know a lot of Stormlight).
 
And, if you want to enter the realm of torment, you could always expand one of many, many [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]].
 
===I need some help===
