We've got several articles that aren't properly linked.  Mainly, we've got character pages that use only first names, but links to articles with the character's full name (such as Jasnah vs Jasnah Kholin).  Is there anything to be done about this?

Redirects, and lots of them.

Seriously though, there is an option in the toolbox of an article called "what links here" (down the left hand side.) you can use that to check which articles link to the improperly named articles and fix them.

In my opinion all articles should be at a character's full name unless this is not known or they were referred to by another title in a way that makes their name unhelpful. e.g. lord ruler should be at lord ruler and not rashek (sp?) since that is unhelpful and unknown until the end of the book. Rashek would redirect to Lord Ruler, (possibly a soft redirect to prevent spoilers, once I figure out how to code that).

If an article is misnamed either move it yourself or tag it with {{move|new page name}} so that we can discuss it.

Anything that is likely to be searched or linked to should be turned into a redirect.

My two cents, refunds available.
