==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)
 
 
== Aon Gallery ==
 
 
I thought we had discussed this before, but I'm really not in favor of this. The way it was has some flaws but those will mostly be alleviated as more information comes to light. Although I do like how each symbol is in a square box even if the symbol itself isn't square. Is there anyway to do that with thumbnails? --[[User:WeiryWriter|WeiryWriter]] ([[User talk:WeiryWriter|talk]]) 17:11, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
 
 
: It makes more sense to have all the symbols in a gallery with maybe the symbols next to the descriptions too, but the way it was previously is just not good. I don't think it's possible to use mediawiki's image formatting to make square boxes on thumbnails. You'd probably have to construct some html yourself which is not going to be very nice. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 09:10, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

*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)

== Reorganize Aon list ==

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?

: 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!

: 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.
