I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm using this page to keep some resources. I also have a few [[#Subpages|Subpages]] for working on big changes to articles that aren't ready to go in the actual article yet.
I started reading [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]]'s works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. I finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I've got some miscellaneous resources and notes on this page, as well as a vague list of [[#Projects]] and my [[#Subpages]].

I often take inspiration for edits from things I see in [[Special:RecentChanges]] so if I edit something you just did, it's probably not because you did anything wrong, I just saw something else on the page that I thought could be improved.
[[Special:Diff/114568|My thousandth edit]] came in the middle of a spree to fix the book parameter in all the [[Skyward (series)|Skyward]] infoboxes (I note that only so that I can remember in five years exactly which page it was).
 
[[Special:Diff/114568|My thousandth edit]] came in the middle of a spree to fix the book parameter in all the [[Skyward (series)|Skyward]] infoboxes and [[Special:Diff/169139|my ten thousandth edit]] was adding a disambiguation note to between Tindwyl and Tindwyl Ladrian (I note that only so that I can remember in five years exactly which page it was).

''Does not include meta articles or articles that could be differentiated without a parenthetical (e.g., [[Chip Erikell]])''<br>
This section separates out exemplary articles by what series they are from, to assist in providing variety for the featured article. As a check for each series has to be added manually, some exemplary articles may be missed. For reference, there are currently {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Exemplary articles|pages}} exemplary articles.

== Formatting Notes==
|-
Add spaces in front of lines to create boxes like this:
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''The Stormlight Archive'''''
There's hidden <!--Hidden text--> text here, click "edit" if you want to see how it's done
<dynamicpagelist>
<span title="If you want to see how to do mouseover text, edit this page and look at the input here">Mouseover text</span>
category = Exemplary articles
When using side quotes, make sure to write "|'''side='''left/right|'''size='''XXXpx" (instead of "|left/right|XXXpx") to avoid the "Sidequote with lazy parameters" category
category = Stormlight Archive
Put a : at the front of an internal link if it's to the Category namespace (otherwise you just add the article to the category)
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''Mistborn'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Mistborn
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''Elantris'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Elantris
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''Warbreaker'''''
<dynamicpagelist>

</dynamicpagelist>
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''Shadows for Silence'''''

=== Candidates for Promotion ===
== Ideas ==
This section aims to identify complete articles that may be candidates for promotion to exemplary based on article length. Current exemplary articles are included in the list of complete articles and a separate list of current exemplary articles by page length is provided for ease of referencing where the complete articles stand relative to current exemplary ones.
*Edit {{t|wob ref}} to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs

*[[Cosmere]]: Was updating some references here and saw it could use some help. See [[User:Stargazer/Cosmere]] for work in progress and Small Workspace below for outline. Currently slogging through figuring out how to explain Realmatics, Adonalsium, etc. when I have the time and mindset for it.

**{{t|character}} needs to be updated for new species (and worlds?), but that's not something I'm going to try doing
ordermethod = length
**Check |world= parameter; I think we said this should be homeworld, not wherever the species happens to appear

*[[Tanavast]] and [[Honor]]: Working out the difference between Vessel and Shard pages and adding detail. Haven't actually gotten to work on this, but work in progress will be at [[User:Stargazer/Tanavast]] and [[User:Stargazer/Honor]]. See [[Rayse]] and [[Odium]] for general split between Vessel and Shard.

'''Note:''' I'm not putting too much effort into layout (sidequotes and images mostly) just yet, because the text isn't set in <s>stone</s> steel yet and if it changes that could impact layout. I ''do'' intend to add more though, especially images.
* Check articles linking to {{t|17s ref}}, {{t|Qa ref}} (should only be User pages left), {{t|Twg ref}}, and {{t|Sots ref}}.
* Find chapters for [[:Category:Chapterless references]].

== Stuff Cut from Cosmere Page ==
Content I wrote for the new cosmere page, was too detailed, but might be useful elsewhere
 
'''Odium's Impact on Selish CR'''<br>
First, it made the Cognitive Realm around Sel incredibly dangerous, as Devotion and Dominion's Investiture is trapped together in a high-energy state known as the [[Dor]], without enough "escape valves" to stabilize the system.{{au ref|Sel}}{{wob ref|4129}} Second, because the Cognitive Realm was distinct locations and the Spiritual Realm does not, systems of Investiture on Sel became highly-location dependent—different systems of Investiture exist in different regions and the symbols used to access the Dor are often derived from geographical features.{{au ref|Sel}}{{tes ref|30}}{{book ref|elantris|49}}{{book ref|elantris|55}}
