  1. Definitely would need more Keepers to weigh in before doing something this big. Also, if we were to do this, we'd probably want to find a more efficient approach than manually editing over a thousand pages.
  2. To be honest, the metals having pages is also a bit of an outlier, mostly driven by the fact that they're relevant (and have patterns) across multiple magic systems (compare to the Surges, which don't have individual articles because it all just goes on the Surgebinding page) Hmm... as things become more interconnected, I could maybe see some utility in having a category for all humans in the cosmere. Just categorizing things by planet is going to start running into some trouble and potentially restructuring categories is something that's been on our radar.
  3. I believe Lumaran, Taldaini, and Komashi are not canon, but I don't recall any discussions about them (Komashi is particularly weird, because usually that would be the category just for locations on the planet). To be honest, I think there's a larger underlying issue here about how our templates start breaking down when we don't have canon demonyms; one idea I've been considering is having them produce category names like "People of Canticle" instead, at least when the demonym is unknown.
  4. The other place I can point to for information about the 16th Shard is https://coppermind.net/wiki/Shard#Unnamed_Shard, though most of that's the same information as is on the Survival Shard page. Beyond that, as LadyLameness mentioned, we try to be very careful about speculation and how we present non-canonical things; I'm not sure there's really anything in the Intellect RAFO that's useful on the Coppermind side of things and I don't think we're likely to make a new Shard until we have a canonical Intent or Vessel name.
  5. I will admit I'm not an expert on how quickly getting stabbed in the chest kills a person, but I don't really see a good reason for us to doubt the accuracy of the book here. If the timeline wouldn't make sense in the real world, then maybe things just work a little differently in the cosmere or there was some time dilation between the Physical Realm and wherever Rayse and Taravangian were. Yes, per chapter 114 (which is mentioned in the summary of that chapter):
  6. Szeth apparently does kill Taravangian shortly before he Ascends, which I think is what the summary is referring to here:
  7. Cross-referencing this thread from a couple weeks ago on a general (Malwish|Southern Scadrian|Scadrian) air(ships|craft) page: The problem I'll point out here is that "Scadrian" might still be too narrow, since the mechanics work elsewhere and could be adopted on other planets, while just "airship" is too broad, since it also sweeps up Surge-based aircraft like Fourth Bridge.
  8. Sorry about that; page creation permissions have to be granted manually, since we've found that it's generally better if people have a chance to discuss whether something should have a page and (if it's not obvious) what the page name should be beforehand. You should be able to create the page now--and please do keep raising questions as you encounter them; they've been very thoughtful (also, apologies for the delays in answer some of them; unfortunately good questions are often the hardest to answer).
  9. I definitely agree that we shouldn't try to cram everything into the Southern Scadrian page; at the same time, having the Southern Scadrian page, the Malwish Consortium page, and then individual pages for the Malwish, Hunters, and Fallen (plus the Maskless/Deniers of Masks, but they're at least not part of the Consortium) feels like maybe too much? I think the closest comparison is probably the region of Makabak on Roshar, where we have a page for the region and all the individual nations within it, but we don't also have an "Azish empire" or "Makabaki confederation" page. I think it's also tricky because so far the Malwish largely seem to be driving things; I wouldn't be terribly surprised if we never really hear much more about the old nations. Curious what others think.
  10. Technology (Gravatonics and Holosight are actually the only two pages missing infoboxes) and subjects without a proper name are definitely some of the things we struggle with most. Long-term, yeah, a section on the Southern Sacdrian page is definitely not where general information about this technology should be living; we probably want some sort of Allomancy-powered aircraft page (and I imagine at some point we'll want one for the Surgebinding fabrial based ones as well?), but I'm not sure what exactly the best name is.
  11. The capitalization of the phrase "Defiant fleet" / "Defiant Fleet" is inconsistent. Chapter 2 (page 19 of the Skyward Flight collection) uses lowercase, while Chapter 12 (page 111 of the collection) uses uppercase. Evershore chapter 11 (collection page 475) also uses lowercase; as best I can tell, the phrase does not appear in any of the other books.
  12. I think I've taken care of starmarks and the Lady Mason (I think the omnibus, especially in the notes Khriss has about the Professions, is clear enough that the Lady Mason is the Taisha of the Company)
  13. So, in general, the Coppermind is open for anyone to edit and we encourage people to fix any mistakes they spot. That said, I think there's some confusion in this specific case:
  14. Our understanding is that Stormlight Zellion is SP4 Zellion, so any information we previously had that is still relevant should go on the page that the new Zellion spoiler redirect points to.
