  • 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.

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`
