King of Herdaz

Yeah, we can’t use pictures of books, it must be that the artist/Dragonsteel/other official source posted the actual image  online. 

So, I actually have put a bunch of work into scouring the internet trying to find  all of the art from the leatherbounds so we can use it on the wiki. However, a handful of the artworks do not exist online, or at least as of a few months ago. 
Have you found any of the missing ones?

Did you re-read all of those books to compile this list? That's dedication right there.

Most of it comes from notes I took while rereading books, but many other people have also contributed to that page.  

I have a list at https://coppermind.net/wiki/User:King_of_Herdaz/Curses_and_Phrases

regarding integration into pages that is something that can be worked on

That is incorrect. It is mentioned in the epilogue of Shadows of Self.

where can I find the link to the coppermind discord

Here: https://discord.gg/X9vtpqMzUP

What is it a depiction of and who is the artist? (If it is an artist we do not already have art from there are a few more steps that we need to take.)

It would also be helpful if you could post the piece here for us to see.

Meaning something you made or something you found online? There are separate processes depending on the situation.

Book summary pages are intended to only contain spoilers up to the end of that book. If you find something that spoils a later book or other series feel free to fix/remove it.

I would strongly recommend reading Mistborn Secret History before RoW. Not strictly needed, but it will make some parts more enjoyable imo.

So to upload images to the Coppermind you need to have the 'editor' permission (which you can get by asking an Admin for it).

I've gone ahead and uploaded these files you posted. Thanks for finding and making these.

Asking here is good enough, though either of the two Discord servers (the Coppermind server or the #coppermind channel on the 17thShard server) will have faster response times and are more conducive for such discussions.

To address your question, which I think LadyLameness misread, theoretically I think this might be a good idea, but in practice I think it would require a great deal of manual work and might not be so feasible.

I'm making this post to preserve a conversation on Discord (that began here) about this topic.

Isaac Stewart is the artist with the most art on the Coppermind (well over 500 files) and as such, his artist page will have to be organized in a different way than usual. The current plan (originally suggested by @Argent) is to organize the art into subpages (using DynamicPageList) and include highlights of each type on the main page along with all of the art that does not fit into any of the subpages.

This is a list of the types of art that we have from Isaac (not that we should have a subpage for each one, just a preliminary list for us to divide up):

• Leatherbound covers
• Novella covers
• Maps
  • Cropped Maps
  • Annotated maps (there aren't very many of these)
• Interior art
  • Cropped interior art
  • Annotated interior art
• Metal symbols (there are several versions of each metal in each of the Metallic Arts)
• Aons
• Glyphs
  • Phonemes
  • Heralds
  • Radiant
  • Surgebinding
  • Voidbinding
  • many more
• Women's script (letters and words)
• Thaylen script
• Stormlight chapter icons
  • Herald faces
• World icons
• Dragonsteel logos
• Random stuff like Doomslug

Concept:
My current idea is to have subpages for maps, interior art, Stormlight symbols, (possibly an Aon subpage as well, but maybe Glyphs/index can be used instead of that) and Metal symbols. All of the covers, world icons, logos, and random stuff would go on the main page (organized accordingly).

I think chapter icons should probably go on the main page, but I'm not so sure about this.
The maps and interior art subpages would be divided by series (all on the same page), with each of those sections split between cropped/annotated and original images.

Execution:
We will need to make sure all of Isaac's art is using |artist=[[Isaac Stewart]] instead of |#artist=Isaac Stewart . This will stop the gadget from automatically adding them to the artist page every time someone edits it. Most of the art is already using |artist=[[Isaac Stewart]], but there are a handful (I think 61) that are using |#artist=Isaac Stewart. A Keeper can easily fix this using Search and Replace.

We will also need to apply a category (probably manually) to all cropped art to make that part of the plan work.

For the next step we have two options:

Option 1:
A side effect of all of the art using |artist=[[Isaac Stewart]] is that it will all be included in Category: Manual artist link. We can easily use this category with version of DynamicPageList that is currently installed on the wiki to create lists that update automatically.

The downside of this method is that it is kind of clunky and that it is possible that files from other artists will slip through.

Here is a simple sample code to generate a list of all metal symbols that have a manual artist link (and are presumably from Isaac) using the current extension:

<DynamicPageList>
mode=gallery
category=File with manual artist link
category=Metals
category=Symbols
notcategory=Meta
imagesperrow=7
namespace=File
imageheight=150
order=ascending
</DynamicPageList>

Option 2:
If we install the expanded version of DynamicPageList on the wiki it will let us use the linksto= parameter. (it will also give us some other nifty features, but this is the most relevant one) 

Here is a simple sample code to generate a list of all metal symbols that link to Isaac Stewart:

<DynamicPageList>
mode=gallery
linksto=Isaac Stewart
category=Metals
category=Symbols
notcategory=Meta
imagesperrow=7
namespace=File
imageheight=150
order=ascending
</DynamicPageList>

Note: with this extension there are a couple other ways to format this, I chose this one because it is the most similar to what we have now. For full documentation see here.

I've been playing around with this in my sandbox, if you want to see what this looks like. (I made it all collapsable temporarily for convenience.)

There are still some more things to be worked out, such as what will go on the main page, but for now here's this.

Yeah, that WoB is what made us decide not to merge the Nahel Bond page with the Knights Radiant page.

And yes, now that we know this the page should probably get a rewrite, or at least a major update, to reflect this information.

This will likely not be an easy task to complete, but any help updating it would be greatly appreciated.

And in general, as far as the wiki is concerned, WoBs are considered to be canon unless/until there is a newer WoB (which we are sure wasn't a mistake) or information in a published book that contradicts it.

I am of the opinion that it is Adonalsium. The Heralds name drop Adonalsium several times so it seems like the people of their time, Fused included, knew more about him/it.
 

This is a better place to discuss things than on a talk page, and there's nothing wrong just using this, but if you want faster responses you are better off using the Coppermind Discord server.

I myself am not expert on this particular subject and so I can't help you directly.

Additional character deaths: Rayse and Phendorana (also Raboniel and the Pursuer, but I don't think they count since I'm pretty sure they were never introduced before).  Admittedly they'd both be hard to guess, but I could see someone getting bold and guessing that Rayse would be killed.

It's also the first time we see Eshonai's actual death onscreen, but we already knew she died (and it's in a flashback anyway), so I don't think that counts.

 

I did this after reading most of the preview chapters and I guessed, correctly, that Lezian would die

In that case, my score is 45 points.

I can provide a breakdown later if you want.

Does Navani count as a side character swearing Ideals?

Didn't Navani swear an oath to the Sibling?

In RoW, of course.

There was supposed to be a post somewhere but I can't find it. I'm pretty sure I know most of the answers, but not all of them.

Where can I find the "official" answers?

In WoK and WoR breachtree is spelled with an a:

Quote

Kal wore a thick, padded coat of breachtree cotton. The material was scratchy but warm, and had been dyed a deep brown. (WoK 25)

Quote

The terms were for an exchange of goods, Father trading some of his breachtree cotton and raw shum to Revilar in exchange for a small payment. Revilar would then take the goods to market for sale. (WoR 45)

while in chapter 15 of RoW it is spelled "breechtree" without the a:

Quote

In contrast to the fine silk, Zahel was like the pelt of some freshly killed mink. His breechtree cotton robe was old and worn, his beard untamed—like a patch of grass growing freely in a nook sheltered from the wind—and he wore a rope for a belt.

One of these is likely a typo

The only suggestion I have is to second the idea that you add a link on all the included pictures that would allow you to view them in a separate tab.

Seconded.
