== MergeMissing withAon list?images ==
*There are images of several Aons in the tenth anniversary glossary that aren't on the wiki. Could somebody please create images for these Aons? (I don't know how to do it): Aon Ake, Aon Are, Aon Dii, Aon Eda, Aon Ehe, Aon Eno, Aon Kae, Aon Toa. Thank you! [[User:TomPN|TomPN]] ([[User talk:TomPN|talk]]) 03:33, 23 March 2017 (MST)
Is there a reason why this page and the List of Aons page are separate? It seems to me they should be combined.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 23:19, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
 
: Just adding that Aon Soo is missing [[User:Haelbarde|Haelbarde]] ([[User talk:Haelbarde|talk]])
: I think this page is supposed to talk about the science of Aon's where as the list discusses particulars. It might be better if they get merged though. Any opinions? --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 11:16, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 
== Reorganize Aon list ==
:: What do you mean about the "science of Aons"? I move that we delete this list. There's not really a huge amount of usefulness in putting the Aons in order of appearance, in my opinion. A comprehensive alphabetical list is better overall. However, there might be something useful in an Aon article, discussing the symbols themselves and their origin, rather than listing them, so I don't think we should do away with this article completely, simply rework it into a more useful form. --[[User:Windrunner|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner|talk]]) 13:51, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
 
As it's currently laid out, the list of Aons is a bit unwieldy; the table of contents encroaches on the body of the article and the mix of images, quotes, section titles, and normal text makes it oddly spaced and difficult to read. On top of this, most individual Aons don't really have enough information associated with them to merit a full section anyway. I propose reformatting the page so that notable Aons (e.g. ones that are significant to the story or have long descriptions -- Aon, Ashe, maybe Daa, Ene, Nae, Omi, Rao, Reo, Shao, Tae, and Tia is my extremely rough list) get their own sections, followed by a table (with columns for name, picture, meaning, examples, and extra info) for the rest. I can make the edits myself, but I didn't want my first edit on the wiki to be a complete overhaul of a major page without at least getting some feedback first. Thoughts?

: I didn't really mean science, more what you said; history, general stuff, etc.. not really describing it well but heh --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 14:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
: Welcome to the Coppermind! I've had similar thoughts about this article before, but never came up with a method I liked for reorganizing it. The Coppermind's [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keepers]] have been talking, and we like your idea, but we'd like a bit more time to think about some of the details. We can sometimes forget to come back to discussions that we table, so if you don't hear more in a week or so, feel free to give us a nudge either here or in the [https://discordapp.com/invite/KEv3fhN Coppermind editors Discord] (though we're pretty excited about this, so we should be good about staying on top of it). If you have any further thoughts, like how a table should be formatted, feel free to chime in on that as well (or if you have ideas about anything else, of course). In the meantime, we'd also like to say thank you for pointing out this issue ''and'' for looking for feedback before making sweeping changes. Happy editing!
 
:I fully support merging List of Aons with this article. I think "Aon" should be the article we go with on that one. -- [[User:Chaos2651Stargazer|Chaos2651Stargazer]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651Stargazer|talk]]) 2008:4829, 224 May 20132020 (UTC)
: Okay, so we really like this idea. The one sort of tweak is that we'd like to put all Aons in the table, so that it's sort of like a complete dictionary. So, any Aons with too much detail to all fit in the table would get both a table entry and a section or something elsewhere with additional information. The one other concern we have is getting the table to look right. To that end, I've thrown together some markups [[User:Stargazer/General_Testing#Aon_Tables|here]]. I'm not exactly a design expert though, and I'm sure you probably have some ideas too, so we'd love to hear your thoughts. Once that's settled, I think you'll be good to go ahead and do this.
 
::I'm working on a mock-up of a new Aon page at the moment, will post on my user page when I get a little farther.--[[User:WeiryWriterStargazer|WeiryWriterStargazer]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriterStargazer|talk]]) 2200:1426, 226 May 20132020 (UTC)
 
Okay I've finished with the mock-up of the new article ([[User:WeiryWriter/Aon]]) If anyone can think of anything else to add it would be helpful. Or I can go ahead and shift it to here.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 19:16, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
 
==His/Her vs. Their==
So, Joe made a couple alterations to the article, namely changing "his or her" to "their." Now I have always learned that this is incorrect, their is not singular. I discussed it with him over chat but he suggested that we get some outside input because neither one of us is going to agree the other. I think we should stick with more formal language for the wiki and as such [http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/595/01/ use correct grammar].--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 16:35, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 
: Where as I am taking [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/their wikipedia's] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Their stance] as 'their' fits both and is just better reading. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 17:29, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
 
:[http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/he-they-generic-personal-pronoun.aspx Grammar Girl] recommends using "they," and I trust her judgment. Her rationalization is very good and she takes into account many style guides. I do not think we should use overly formal speech on the wiki. Since style guides cannot agree on a solution, I suggest we go with their. It is easier to write and easier to read. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 19:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 
::Okay I read the Grammar Girl article and she mentions it is better to have a convention that people disagree with than to have no convention which I can agree with. I still totally disagree on using they/their but if that is the convention that is decided then so be it.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 23:44, 7 June 2013 (UTC)
 
==Deleted Scenes==
So I finally got around to reading the Elantris deleted scenes and found a couple facts that could be added to this article.
 
"A triangle with wing-like protrusions from the side: Aon Eto." from [http://www.brandonsanderson.com/library/46/Elantris-Deleted-Scenes-The-Mad-Prince]
 
and
 
"An Ate Seon can make a room completely silent for a short time, an Iam Seon age an object or person by a few years." from [http://www.brandonsanderson.com/library/48/Elantris-Alternate-Ending-Material]
 
I'm wondering how to handle the latter because Aon Iam is listed as meaning "Age" in the glossary on Brandon's Website but in the back of the book Glossary (and the article) Aon Ire has age as one of its meanings. How should this be handled?
 
Also, the coppermind stance on this sort of stuff is "use it unless it is contradicted by published canon" correct?--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 20:21, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
:You could probably get away with adding it, as long as you make a footnote explaining that the material is from a deleted scene, and not necessarily canon. --[[User:Windrunner|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner|talk]]) 05:16, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
 
I've added the information on Aon Eto and Aon Ate. I'm wary about Aon Iam because it does have the same meaning as a published Aon.--[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 23:13, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 
== Split into aon pages ==
 
So, we already have pages for each of the metals, and we have loads of single-line character pages. I was thinking we should split these up onto `Aon X` pages, like the `Seon X` pages we've started making, and then make [[AonDor]] into a similar page as the [[Allomancy]] and [[Feruchemy]] pages which have a table of metals which link to the actual articles. This would make this article into a disambiguation page? Anyone with opinions? I know you seem to like long pages for text-search reasons, Eric, and I don't really know what to say about that. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 05:28, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
:I don't really see the need for that personally. Most of these would just end up as really short articles, we don't have in depth info on more than like three or four of them. It just seems like a waste to me, currently. But then again, we have an article for every spren xD --[[User:Windrunner|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner|talk]]) 05:46, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
:: That is my point, consistency XD --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 05:50, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
