Page 31 of the U.S. Hardcover has a missing end quotation mark. Original: Should be:

Fixed. I believe the last correction you have (Its instead of It's) was actually fine in the original. He's saying "I did something wrong in this book. It's lack of proper foreshadowing", meaning "I did something wrong in this book. It is lack of proper foreshadowing" (e.g. the thing he did wrong was the lack of proper foreshadowing). That was confusing to type, but hopefully that makes sense.

Some of the WoBs already have footnotes in them (which is freaking amazing, great work by the people who entered all of those). Are you looking for something more extensive than that?

Sorry to double post, but here's another one where the Questioner is mislabeled as Brandon (he writes so fast he even writes questions for himself!). Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/122-leipzig-book-fair/#e3312 Original Text: Revised Text:

On the Leipzig Book Fair event page, the location of the event is misspelled as Liepzig. Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/122-leipzig-book-fair/

This is a little nitpick but I'll put it here anyway. Just a typo from the original transcript. Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/123-sofia-signing/#e3293 Original Text: Revised Text:

Yeah I definitely agree it shouldn't be a priority. It would probably be most helpful for newer fans who haven't read all the older stuff yet.

Mislabeled Brandon as Questioner. I also had to underline instead of highlight because I'm on mobile (edited to be highlighted). Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/127-salt-lake-city-comiccon-2017/#e5204 Original Text: Revised Text:

Probably, but I don't have editing privileges so I can't say for sure. It was suggested in the WoB Corrections thread because it'll help with making corrections.

This will be a thread for people to add their suggestions and requests for new features for the new WoB archive. I will try to update the original post when people add things so there is a complete list in the OP. If any of the developers for Arcanum have a better way of tracking this sort of thing, I'm open to that as well (and would offer to maintain/organize that list as well). I'm trying to grab things that people post on Reddit as well, but those may be harder to catch, so if you see anything I've missed there feel free to send it to me or post it in the thread. Also, if I grab one of your Reddit posts and you want me to credit you here, let me know. Feature Suggestions: Audio - A way to scrub through audio clips to help with transcription (fast forward/rewind/scroll through). Status: Definitely wanted, hopefully coming mid-2018. Browsing/Site Design - Links at the bottom of event pages to the previous/next chronological event for ease of wasting hours reading through them without realizing how much time has passed. - Search sorting, such as by date ascending or descending (from @neithan). Filtering by location or time might also be useful. - A daily random WoB on the homepage (from @Steeldancer). Status: probably will happen at some point, but unsure when. It would be relatively easy, but it's low priority. - Recent Entries/Recent Events pages (mentioned by Chaos on Reddit). Status: very likely but unsure exactly when. - A dark colored theme (from u/Khalku on Reddit). User Account Features - A way of tracking which events/WoBs have been read (similar to 17th Shard user functionality). Status: non-trivial, would be mid-2018 at earliest, but may not be worth the trouble. - A way to like WoBs and the ability to look at all your personal liked WoBs in a list format (from @thegatorgirl00). Specifically to have a saved list and to be able to make a sub-list from that. Status: High-priority! - Once saved entries are implemented, a way to have public and private lists (from @Oversleep). - User pages like 17th Shard has (from @thegatorgirl00). - Linking named questioners to their user pages (from @thegatorgirl00). - Notifications when something new is uploaded (from u/mbue on Reddit). Integration with 17th Shard/Coppermind - A way to easily quote WoBs in threads on 17th Shard with nice formatting (from @MasterJack). Status: Kurkistan is toying with an idea. Editing - Editing enabled for all users (both for actual text and for tags). Status: being worked on now. Until this is possible, corrections can be submitted in this thread: Updated 11/09/17 at 4:37 PM EST

Another small correction here. Link: https://wob.coppermind.net/events/127-salt-lake-city-comiccon-2017/#e5129 Existing Text: Revised Text:

This entry is missing any text/tags, but it does have the audio source there. Not sure if this has already been transcribed somewhere but I went ahead and wrote it down anyway. Also a feature suggestion: previous/next event links at the bottom of the page (like 17th Shard has). If we could get some way of tracking which events/WoBs an account has read that would be incredibly cool (but that's probably harder).

This is so exciting! I have a small correction to make to one of my own questions (because I'm a narcissist and looked at the event I was at first). Basically, the reference missed Brandon's response and attributed my follow-up question as something he said. Side note: it's very strange to click play on a website and hear yourself speaking.

Maybe this has changed in the past few days, but Amazon US shows me a Kindle edition of Edgedancer. So I would say check again?

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but the release date has been moved back to December 26, 2017 and it's now available for pre-order on Amazon! And it's currently very cheap ($16.50) so if you're on the fence this might be a good time to get it.

I actually interpreted this pretty much the opposite way. It sounds to me like he's discussing different ways that Shards could provide access to the fundamental forces while producing the same effect, rather than different effects within the system of one (or two) Shards. Honor accesses gravity through bonds, meaning that you manipulate gravity in Honor's system by bonding with an object or a direction. Another Shard with a different system could access the same force, gravity, through a different mechanism (perhaps altering local gravity so that it affects you and objects around you in a small radius, as a theoretical example). That doesn't have anything to do with foci; it's about the differences between separate magic systems.

As far as I'm aware, the answer to most of these questions is "We don't know". Brandon hasn't said much via WoB about the religions of modern Scadrial (whether because people haven't asked him or because he doesn't want to give too much away). I'll check the books when I get home tonight to see if we've missed any information. But I would guess that if we had much more info, it would already be on the Coppermind. (Also if you have any information from the books that isn't there, feel free to add it yourself!)

Do we have Szeth viewpoint chapters confirmed in Oathbringer? I can't remember. In any case, I think that's fine because the other characters don't know about Szeth surviving either. So if he shows up again, the casual fans will have the same reaction as the characters.

I actually see this in exactly the opposite way. I would do that scene as a post-credits thing like Marvel does in all their movies. It's a cool thing for the people who know what's going on, and people are conditioned at that point to see that sort of thing and think "Okay, I don't know this yet but it will be important in a later movie". I don't see that connection being a problem at all. You can include Zahel in the movie and make a Warbreaker prequel later on, like with X-Men Origins: Wolverine (or even Rogue One, from a certain point of view).

I would say if you look at Hrathen's storyline from his perspective, it's an Icarus story. Elantris spoilers:

@swieczq Yeah, if you check with him before the event starts he'll usually let you leave a phone or a camera on the table, for both signings and Q&As.

I think it's very likely that Mr. T was lying to Szeth, personally, but I'm not sure if we have any WoBs that specifically confirm that. When I read the scene, with the context of Taravangian wondering how Szeth will react when he finds out the Voidbringers are back, it seems likely to me that Taravangian was worried that Szeth would stop obeying him and kill him on the spot if he found out that there was a real Surgebinder out there. But until we get that info in the book or via WoB, the summary up above does have a small asterisk on it.

Yep, so the current status is as follows: The Shin have 7 of the blades (all those except Jezrien's, Nale's, and Taln's) Kaladin/Dalinar has Jezrien's Honorblade. Nale has his own Honorblade. Taln's Honorblade is missing, and all we know is that Hoid is not the one who took it.

I'm not really going to count on whether the MAG book itself says it's canon, to be honest. If it isn't canon, they can say whatever they want, but it isn't canon. Brandon has said many times that what is published in the Cosmere books is canon and that's it. Even things that he says aren't truly canon until they are published (see his current changing of how savantism works as an example). You can disagree and formulate theories based on MAG as much as you want, but it's just not solid evidence in my view.

Alright folks, I just finished going through the Sunday Signing Line audio to see if I could figure out some of the paraphrased stuff. I got most of it down verbatim, so I think we're basically all done with these transcriptions! Thanks everyone for all the hard work, and thanks especially to @ccstat, @Ironeyes, and @DAdam for making recordings and uploading them! I've updated the OP to reflect the finished statuses of the Sunday signing and the Rithmatist Q&A.
