- because the Cosmere books are all in the same universe, it has been decided that the articles should be written in the past tense
- you only need to link the first instance of something on a page
- it's ok to only use the first name of the character when referring to someone already mentioned on that page (especially the subject of the article)
- a personal opinion, but we(I) prefer having each sentence on a new line, it makes the diff prettier too :D
- another minor thing, it's much better if you refrain from using curly quotes and apostrophes, stick with the plain " and ' characters.
- the titles of books should not be mentioned in in-universe articles, other than in references or any infobox templates that ask for them.
Article titles
- They should be singular
- [[Highprince]]s instead of [[Highprinces]]
- Character articles should not include honorifics, and should consist of their full name
- [[Highprince Sadeas]] instead of Highprince [[Sadeas]]
- an exception is Vin, which should not be moved to `Vin Venture`
