Editing User:Stargazer

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'm also a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]], which I guess means I'm qualified to answer questions about how to do wiki things or how to handle weird situations. Feel free to contact me on [[User talk:Stargazer|my talk page]] or on [https://discord.gg/KEv3fhN our Coppermind editors Discord server] (I'm Stargazer#6905 there if you want to ping me or would feel better direct messaging me).

[[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).

== Formatting Notes==

Add spaces in front of lines to create boxes like this:

There's hidden <!--Hidden text--> text here, click "edit" if you want to see how it's done

<span title="If you want to see how to do mouseover text, edit this page and look at the input here">Mouseover text</span>

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

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)

Use &mdash; for em dashes.

'''Personal'''

*[[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. Mostly revisions left; hoping to wrap this up fairly soon.

*''Updating the [[:Category:Starsight|new articles from ''Starsight'']] (most pages are created, just need to be filled in):''

**Make sure species names and variations of "cytonic" are lowercase. Biggest offenders are probably [[:Category:Defending Elysium]]

**{{t|character}} needs to be updated for new species (and worlds?), but that's not something I'm going to try doing

**Check <code>world</code> parameter; I think we said this should be homeworld, not wherever the species happens to appear

*Move Death Rattles not from epigraphs from [[The Way of Kings/Epigraphs]] to [[Death Rattles]]. Death Rattles page might need reorganizing.

*Look into editing {{t|wob ref}} to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs

*Maybe update [https://coppermind.net/wiki/File:BrandonSanderson.jpg our picture of Brandon], maybe with this: [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brandon_Sanderson_-_Lucca_Comics_%26_Games_2016.jpg]

*Upload missing Alcatraz full covers ([http://www.scottbrundage.com/book#/new-gallery/ Book 1], [http://www.scottbrundage.com/book#/new-gallery-72/ Book 2]).

*Organize [[Coppermind:Artists/taratjah]]'s tarot cards, but that also requires working out galleries

*Consider making redirects for commonly searched pages (see [[Special:SearchStats]]).

*[[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.

*''Things I've noticed may need some help while working on the cosmere page and may try to work on later:''

**[[Realmatic Theory]]

**[[Splinter]]

**[[Cognitive Shadow]]

*Other articles to maybe work on some day

**[[Elendel#Government]]

**[[Summary:Sixth of the Dusk]]

'''General quality'''

*Fix [[:Category:Sidequote with lazy parameters]] ([[User:King of Herdaz]] took care of these, but check them occasionally for new ones)

**Is it worth trying to change the sidequote template to eliminate this (assuming that's what does this)? I'm not sure how helpful it is.

*Articles in need of help: See [[:Category:Articles in need of attention]], [[:Category:Articles in need of citations]], [[:Category:Articles in need of clarification]], [[:Category:Articles missing information]], [[:Category:Articles with disputed content]].

*Removing disambiguation page links. All of the ones not in the User namespace are gone, but recheck every so often. See [[:Category:Disambiguation pages]] and [[Special:DisambiguationPageLinks]].

*Check articles linking to {{t|17s ref}}, {{t|Qa ref}} (should only be User pages left), {{t|Twg ref}}, and {{t|Sots ref}}.

*Other: See list at [[Special:SpecialPages]], especially [[Special:BrokenRedirects]] and [[Special:DoubleRedirects]].

*Check on [[:Category:Current discussions]] tags; these can probably be removed. Also check the underlying template.

*Find chapters for [[:Category:Chapterless references]].

*Go through [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Merge|articles with merge suggestions]].

*Add links to [[Summary:Skyward]].

*Review articles. List of {{t|complete}} articles that interest me separately, but also look through the ones in [[:Category:Once reviewed]]

'''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.

== 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}}
