I don't really like making changes to the page itself while things are under discussion, so I did some drafting in my user space (see [[User:Stargazer/General_Testing]]). Opinions welcome, including that I'm just crazy.

:Stargazer, I have added a scrollbar to the table and minwidths to the columns - this should prevent the table from looking cramped on mobile and smaller laptop screens, as the less important information will now overflow to the left. I've reviewed the Mistborn series page, and while I think there are deficiencies with the grouping there as well, ultimately I think it's apples vs oranges - the Mistborn works aren't as clearly delineated as the Stormlight ones are. For Stormlight, a main book has a very specific structure the novellas don't adhere to, and Mistborn just doesn't have that same structure. When we have many columns like Knights Radiant Order, Flashback Character, In-World Text, etc. that just don't apply to novellas, and novella columns like Focus Character that don't apply to the main books, it suggests that our grouping needs to be reworked. Not to mention that the novellas aren't even numbered by Sanderson to be part of The Stormlight Archive, they are just corollaries, which suggests they don't belong in that table anyway. Now, one thing I did do was remove the separation between the two tables that I initially favored, this not only keeps the font the same size on mobile, but it also makes the two tables feel closer, in the vein of what you're advocating for.
:To address your points about the Rock and Lopen novellas - you bring up ''The Silence Divine'' and yet that exact novella is listed in the first sentence of the page for Ashyn. The Silverlight novella is referenced on the page for Silverlight. This is the Stormlight Archive page, and these novellas are planned to be included in the "From the Stormlight Archive" collection, I think it makes sense to include them. The Silence Divine on the other hand, Sanderson has specifically said that it will not be considered a "From the Stormlight Archive" novella. Why do the Rock and Lopen novellas include a spot here? Sanderson has been very clear for quite some time about his desire to write them - it's not like fans asked for these novellas, and Brandon ambiguously agreed it could be a possibility while on air - he freely volunteered the information that he was working on these novellas. The Coppermind should reflect what the current future plans are, even if there is a possibility things could change - for all we know, Sanderson could change the flashback characters in the back five - but I still think it's important to show what the latest plans are. I have however added in footnotes to be clear that some of the novellas are indefinite.
:As for the Interlude character, I quote from our article (I didn't write this) "Each novel has one character who gets multiple interludes, whose interludes effectively form a novella." I think that's clear enough, but we could add in additional text in the title - "Main Interlude Character", "Interlude Novella Character" - but I still prefer just "Interlude Viewpoint". As for the years, I'm not too attached to those. They do make things a little more complicated (especially Puuli's chapter) and I was pained there wasn't enough space to include months, but I am of the opinion it should be an all or nothing.
