You've come to the wikiright place! We have [[special: statistics|{{int: article count}}]] articles and we're evenexpanding betterfrequently!
Discovering us for the first time? Did you know that almost all of Brandon's adult fantasy works are all set in the same universe? It's true! They are all in a universe called the [[cosmere]], sharing the same mythology, rules to the magic, and more. As such, there will likely be spoilers for other series in the articles you read, since a lot of it is connected! If you'd like to learn about the cosmere, check out:

At the beginning of his story, he is a squadleader in [[Amaram]]'s army.
His storyline then cuts to his time as a slave.
As a slave in [[Sadeas]]'s army, he is placed in Bridge Four, and made to run headlong into enemy fire with the rest of his bridgecrew to give the army a way to cross the chasms.
After a period of despair, Kaladin works to improve the life of his bridgecrew... '''([[The Way of Kings|see more!]])'''

===Cat CAPTCHAs!===
[[File:Discord.png|center|x100px|link=https://discord.gg/zn4rU5Q]]
So, it is extremely annoying the amount of spam we have been getting. We'd all really like to get to a point where you can edit the wiki without needing to log in, and especially without needing email verification. Pretty annoying. For whatever reason bots/spammers are really good at breaking RECaptcha.
</div>
{{anchor|Featured Article}}
So, now when you register, you should see a much more delightful spam thing: namely, you have to select cats from dogs. It's pretty freaking adorable and almost makes me want to do CAPTCHAs even more. Barely.

I do believe the cat CAPTCHA works fine, but if you are having trouble logging in or you get an error message, can you email me at [email protected] and let me know? -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 19:05, 8 July 2012 (EDT)Not to fear!

===Wiki Downtime===
Hey guys. I'm sorry about the wiki downtime that we recently had. Basically, it turned out that the wiki was using most of our server resources, so in order to save the site I had to take it down temporarily. We've now done some performance tuning so it should roll faster now, and I hope we don't have to do it again. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 18:51, 8 July 2012 (EDT)
Happy editing! Feel free to talk on our [http://www.17thshard.com/forum/forum/10-the-coppermind-wiki/ Coppermind forums] or our [https://discordapp.com/invite/KEv3fhN Discord] if you have additional questions.
===Email Validation Required to Edit===
We've been hit with some pretty serious spambot action for a long while that the CAPTCHAs haven't seemed to block. For this reason, we are now requiring you to validate your email address before being able to edit pages. This also goes into effect for all current wiki accounts. If you are trying to edit now, you'll get an error and say that you need to validate your email. You'll be directed to your profile and supply an email. Soon, a validation email will appear, so just click the link in your box and you are good.
[[category: root]]
Unfortunately, this has the effect of requiring you to register a wiki account so your account can be validated at all. I apologize for the annoyance--I know I liked for guests to edit, with the security of a CAPTCHA, but we need to do email validation to stem the flow of spambots.
If we come up with a method to reduce bots another way that is less annoying, we'll do it. However, we thought our other options were even more annoying. We're very sorry for the inconvenience. We'll keep you updated of any changes. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] 05:47, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
