[edit] Articles
Note to editors: Please make changes to the status of a page directly to this section. Most articles have yet to be appraised, and not all SoT related articles are listed. As the list is expanded, different subjects will need to be addressed in seperate tables. Feel free to expand or update tables as necessary.
Please note that only topics deserving of their own articles are listed. Stubs and non-notable articles will be incorporated into more inclusive main articles over time (such as in the case of Creatures in The Sword of Truth).

Please note that multiple users may sign up for the same task; in fact, collaboration is encouraged!
- Task 1 - Create a comprehensive Character Page for the Sword of Truth (Characters in The Sword of Truth).
- Major Characters worthy of their own articles should be listed at the top of the article, followed by a new section with brief descriptions of minor characters, and a list of non-notable characters.
- Task 2 - Create a comprehensive Geography Page for the Sword of Truth (Geography of The Sword of Truth).
- This includes countries, mountain ranges, physical landmarks, etc. Geographical locations worthy of their own article should be linked in a section at the top of the article. Additional geographical locations should be listed in a new section below.
- Dave Quixote 03:22, 2 October 2006 (UTC) I'll have a go at this.
- Task 3 - Create a comprehensive Location Page for the Sword of Truth (Locations in The Sword of Truth).
- This includes notable buildings, man-made structures, etc. Extremely notable locations should be linked in a section at the top of the article. Additional locations should be listed in a new section below.
- Merrit 20:41, 16 October 2006 (UTC) I'll look into this one. May take me a while, as I'm trying to concentrate on three school classes as well.
- Task 4 - Create a comprehensive Item Page for the Sword of Truth (Items in The Sword of Truth).
- This should only include items crucial to the story line that are of significant importance to the plot. Extremely notable items (such as the Sword of Truth) should be linked in a section at the top of the article. Additional items should be listed in a new section below.
- Task 5 - Improve the Creatures in The Sword of Truth page.
- Merge any existing creature pages into the article and add notable unmentioned creatures.
- Task 6 - Improve the coverage of the notable People and Group pages.
- This includes but is not limited to the Mord'Sith, Mud People, Sisters of the Dark, and Sisters of the Light. Existing pages relevant to these articles should be merged and redirected to the said articles (for example, the individual Sisters of the Dark should be discussed in the Sisters of the Dark article).
- Task 7 - Investigate all existing Sword of Truth related pages that do not fall into any of the above categories.
- These pages should be noted and what to do with them should be discussed on the General Forum.
- Patrickjsanford 03:25, 27 September 2006 (UTC) I don't have much to do this week, so I'll be working on this when I have some free time.
- Task 8 - Copy Edit/Revision of all the Plot Introductions and Plot Summaries of the actual novels of the Sword of Truth.
- When revising plot summaries and introductions, a major priority must be to ensure that accurate content is included. All plot summaries and introductions should be written in as encyclopedic a tone as possible. Present the facts in a clear, concise manner, and avoid sounding like a story or advertisement. Give only the essential information necessary. Minute details should be avoided. Excessive plot summaries could violate Wikipedia policies on fair use.
- I'll spearhead this catagory. Being the worlds formost authority on the series (even Terry calls me to double check facts;)), I think my talents are best spent here first. I will be calling on a few others to lend assistance as well. Mystar 01:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

- I will gladly help with Task 8 if needed or desired. "KNowledge is the Destination-Truth the Journey"-Terry Goodkind 18:09, 13 November 2006 (UTC)Addicted2learn
