[edit] Goals

1. To detail the novels and fictional world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld
2. To ensure the detail is structured as well as possible

[edit] Style

1. When talking about the books it is Discworld (''[[Discworld]]'').
2. When talking about the world it is the Discworld (the [[Discworld (world)|Discworld]]).
3. All articles should link to both of the above articles where possible.
4. All book titles should be italicised and, in the first instance, linked.
