  1. For chapter 15, the symbol used in the chapter header is inconsistent between the print and ebook editions: In print it's Shallan's, but in the ebook it's Adolin's. Additionally, in the ebook table of contents chapter 119 is listed as "The Sunmaker's Gambit," but the chapter itself is just titled "Sunmaker's Gambit."
  2. Thanks for reporting this! We have instructions on that page that are both supposed to stop Google from including certain bits of text in the preview and from showing any preview at all (for redundancy), but it seems Google is ignoring both of them right now. We'll look into a fix for this.
  3. Hi, thanks for noticing that! The Coppermind is a collaborative project that anyone can edit; we especially encourage people to fix simple errors like this on their own. If you're not sure how to do something, we have several help pages (Help:Markup would be the relevant one for link formatting) and are always happy to answer any questions.
  4. @LewsTherinTelescope had a method for doing this for individual pages (using the Rhythm of War summary page as an example, though the page name really only matters for stripping out the edit section links): Doing that for every page would be a bit of a project though, and since pages are continually being updated, it would only be good for so long.

      Thank you! Yes birf happy!

  6. Thanks for catching that; they should definitely have a page. I just updated your permissions, so you should be able to create it if you go to https://coppermind.net/wiki/Zumble now. It might be helpful to use one of the other Rosharan lifeform pages as a sort of template. One minor note to go with the permissions, it's generally best to check in before making new content pages, to see if anyone has thoughts about things like what the page title should be or whether it should just be covered in a section on another page (though book releases will bring with them lots of simple cases like this and, as Treamayne mentioned, you're welcome to make as many drafts in your user space as you want). Also, I'm realizing I don't think anyone's mentioned this to you, we do also have a Discord server for conversations between editors; you're welcome to join if you find it easier to chat there. Thanks for the work you've been doing this past month!
  7. Yes, we are treating that thunderclast as Terushal; their description matches the center thunderclast in the artwork we got and it makes sense that they would be one of the thunderclasts we got a name for and art of. Thanks for working on the page!
  8. So, I can think of a few major challenges such a book would face. First, the Wheel of Time Companion was written by Team Jordan and published by Tor; at the end of the day, the Coppermind editors are just a bunch of fans and we don't have the same resources to dedicate to producing such a project. Additionally, Team Jordan had full access to RJ's notes and could be confident that everything they wrote was correct. We do our best with the sources we have, but sometimes characters in-world are wrong and sometimes WoBs are inaccurate (because Brandon changes his mind, misunderstands the question, or—rarely—lies to preserve a future reveal). On the wiki, it's easy to update things when we get new information, but parts of a printed book could quickly become inaccurate. Beyond that, the wiki isn't even fully updated for all books that are currently out, so some entries in such a book would either be incomplete or have to be left out. Compounding that issue, whereas the Wheel of Time Companion was written after all the books are finished, Brandon is still writing cosmere books, so with every release a physical book would fall further and further out-of-date. I think I can speak for all of our editors when I say that we deeply appreciate all the praise that the Coppermind has gotten. Its quality is the result of incremental improvements by a lot of editors over the past nearly 15 years and fixing it in a physical book would quickly lose that benefit.
  9. Yes, the edit summary doesn't show up on the actual page. It will show up in places like the page history and the list of recent edits, to help other editors understand what you're changing.
  10. They are separate accounts (and accounts on Arcanum are separate from both)
  11. A bunch of duplicate Mistborn-related tags, all related to colons. One of these was reported above and Weiry indicated the one with the colon should be used, but there was a concern about a technical issue with that at the time, which looks like it's been fixed. mistborn: secret history (13) vs mistborn secret history (4) mistborn: secret history 2 (8) vs mistborn secret history 2 (6) mistborn: the final empire (56) vs mistborn the final empire (7) mistborn: house war (3) vs mistborn house war (1) mistborn: birthright (24) vs mistborn birthright (10)
