Listing Planets

Should a list of planets be added to this page? King of Herdaz (talk) 05:26, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I'm not opposed to that, but I wouldn't make it a table like on the cosmere page. That works there because there's a bunch of things to list about the planets, but that's not really the case here. On the other hand, the planets haven't really been a focus of the series, so I'm not sure how necessary this would be and the article feels like it flows really well right now. There's also the question of how to treat space stations like Starsight. If we do add this, I'd suggest putting it in the Inhabitants section.

Maybe a 'notable locations' section? Most of these planets aren't worth mentioning on this page I don't think, but it could be worth listing Earth, Detritus, Starsight? That way if we get any juicy nowhere locations/planets we can add that in as well. LadyLameness (talk) 06:36, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

I was thinking a of listing all of the known worlds, Detritus, the kitsen homeworld, Starsight, etc. (there are some more worlds mentioned but I don't remember their names offhand) with a small brief about each one with either a link in the text to its main article or a {{for|planet name}} instead.

Here's the complete list of planets (sorry, can't make it indent):

No pages meet these criteria.

Starsight is tricky, because then we have to figure out exactly how big a space station has to be before listing it as a planet: does Evensong, for example, count? I don't think so, but we'd want to be able to articulate exactly why it doesn't. Calling it "Notable Locations" instead would alleviate some of that problem, and also mean we can leave off planets like Farhaven that really aren't that important. I think Notable Locations would also cope better with whatever weird stuff Spensa's probably going to find in the nowhere next book. We could probably do short descriptions like the ones I wrote on my cosmere page (User:Stargazer/Cosmere#Planets), but that would be pretty short. I think my preference at this point would be to do that for Earth, Detritus, Starsight, and maybe the kitsen homeworld, with the caveat that we'll probably need to re-evaluate this after the next book.
