== Citing information without references ==
On the SA wiki, I can type {{t|Cite}} (which is obviously a template) at the end of a passage to indicate that such a passage needs verification whenever it doesn't otherwise exist. Just how do I do that here? I mean, I've already encountered information that isn't book referenced and believe that it should be. Please enlighten me! Thanks folks!
For example, at Chaos' suggestion, I'm focusing my attention right now on Mistborn pages to avoid Oathbringer spoilers, because I've not yet read the book. That said, in attempting to reference a statement regarding [[Wayne]] on [[Waxillium Ladrian]]'s page, I'm at a loss. Help!
I remain relatively new here and haven't done all that much. I have no idea whether anyone has made such a request in the past; I only know that such a feature has been a boon to contributors to the SA wiki, and certainly to me, as the site's Administrator. I think such a feature could benefit the Coppermind as it would afford contributors a reference they might access before repeating an entry already logged into an article. I implore any and all to respond to this inquiry. Thank you.
:Hey Synth. I'm not farmiliar with SA wiki features, but it sounds like you want the [[Special: RecentChanges]] page. You can access it easily by clicking Recent Changes on the left side of the page, in the list of links under the Coppermind symbol. I hope this helps you! --[[User:thegatorgirl00|thegatorgirl00]] ([[User talk:thegatorgirl00|talk]]) 22:11, 10 December 2017 (MST)
: Hey Synth. Indeed [[Special: RecentChanges]] is possibly as close as you'll get to the 'recently edited pages' lists that adorn wikia. It is, in fact, my homepage, and I similarly use it to monitor site activity like you presumably do. It's probably no where near as legible or simple as the wikia alternative as it lists every edit to a page, rather than just that the page has been edited most-recently. I've had a look around the [[Special: SpecialPages|other special pages]], and not found a direct equivalent for you, and I hope you'll forgive us for that. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 02:11, 10 December 2017 (MST)
Thank you for this information! I'm going to have to get used to looking at the left rail here.--[[User:Synth|Synth]] ([[User talk:Synth|talk]]) 07:10, 12 December 2017 (MST) And, do I have to type all that stuff to the left, or is it generated automatically?
: Hey Synth. if you're talking about the signature that can be inserted with <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> if you mean the <code>:</code>'s that start our replies, we put those in ourselves to indent the conversation a little. If you mean the stuff in the left rail, then that's part of the coppermind itself. I don't think users can edit it. --[[User:Fbstj|Joe ST]] ([[User talk:Fbstj|talk]]) 00:33, 13 December 2017 (MST)
