Stubs are articles that have barely any information. Partially completed articles have a wide range, but generally have some or most of the information on a subject.
 
ArticlesWhen nearingan completionarticle is forcomplete, articles that you as anand editor believewill tochange bethe contenttag completefrom (hence{{t|stub}} theor use{{t|partial}} ofto {{t|complete}}). OnceAt anthis article is completestage, a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]] will review it and markand itchange as{{t|complete}} to {{t|complete|<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>}}, which adds that Keeper's signature to the page and moves the article from [[:Category:Articles nearing completion|the list of articles in review]] to [[:Category:Complete articles]].
 
There is a further quality tag, {{t|exemplary}}. [[:Category: Exemplary articles|Exemplary articles]] must be complete and reviewed, well organized and written, and are the very best articles on the Coppermind. This tag is also used by the Keepers.
*[[:Category: Groups|Groups]], for categories of characters by specific organization
*[[:Category: Magic users|Magic users]], for categories of characters by variety of magic that they wield
 
====Sapient beings====
 
This category--which overrides the Characters tag--contains articles on particular species of sapient beings. For nonsapient beings, see [[:Category: Lifeforms|Lifeforms]]. Species that are sapient can also be magical in origin, and so, pages in this category can also be in [[:Category: Magical entities|Magical entities]] (see the Magic category).
 
====Ethnicities and Nationalities====
Subcategories are:
*[[:Category: Sapient beings|Sapient beings]], for lifeforms that are sapient, as humans are
*[[:Category: Magical entities|Magical entities]], for lifeforms that are primarily magical or are magical constructs
*[[:Category: Diseases|Diseases]]
*[[:Category: Food|Food]] (see Culture)
*[[:Category: Magic systems|Magic systems]]
*[[:Category: Magic users|Magic users]] (see Characters)
*[[:Category: Magical entities|Magical entities]]
 
It contains subcategories of a particular type of magic, like the [[:Category: Allomancy|Allomancy]] category, and contains subcats of [[:Category: Magic users|Magic users]], like [[:Category: Allomancers|Allomancers]].
 
====Magical entities====
 
[[:Category: Magical entities|Magical entities]] is for beings that come from a magical source, or are magical constructs. Examples include [[spren]], [[Lifeless]], or [[koloss]]. This is not a mutually exclusive category with [[:Category: Sapient beings|Sapient beings]], as some beings of this type may also be thinking beings.
 
Magical entities should not be included in Magic users, as some magical aptitude may be inherent to something being a magical entity.
 
This category contains subcategories of specific magical beings, such as [[:Category: Kandra|kandra]].
