I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. FinallyI finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this page for figuring that out and drafting articles.

== Formatting Notes==
'''Current Projects'''
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 another namespace
 
== Ideas ==
*Queen [[Tsa]]: Finished writing article; I have an ebook of Oathbringer coming in a few weeks, and I'll search that to make sure I'm not missing anything when it comes in.
*Edit [[Template:wob ref]] to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs
*Gran-Gran ([[Becca Nightshade]]): Marked article as complete. I'd like feedback, since that's my first complete article.
*Ironsides (Admiral [[Judy Ivans]]): Just claimed. I'd like to get Gran-Gran marked as complete and get some feedback on that article before starting on this one, if possible.
*[[Cognitive Shadow]]: Noticed this on the urgent list and thought I'd put some work into it.
 
== Projects (in rough priority order) ==
*[[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.
*''Updating the [[:Category:Starsight|new articles from ''Starsight'']] (most pages are created, just need to be filled in):''
**Pages to be created: [[Starsight (space station)]], [[Skyward Universe]], [[Platform Prime]], [[Old Earth]] OR [[Earth (Skyward)]] (all on hold for discussion)
**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, but that's not something I'm going to try doing
**Change |books= to [[Skyward (series)|Skyward]] instead of [[Skyward]]
*[[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]]
*''Formatting things''
**Fix [[:Category:Sidequote with lazy parameters]]
**Change tables to class=wikitable to make the prettier
*''General quality''
**Articles: See [[:Category:Articles in need of attention]], [[:Category:Articles in need of citations]], [[:Category:Articles in need of clarification]], [[:Category:Articles missing information]], and [[:Category:Articles with disputed content]]
**Check articles linking to [[Template:17s ref]], [[Template:Qa ref]] (should only be User pages left), [[Template:Twg ref]], and [[Template:Sots ref]]
**Other: See list at [[:Special:SpecialPages]]; especially [[:Special:BrokenRedirects]] and [[:Special:DoubleRedirects]]

'''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.

}}
'''Cognitive Shadow''' is term used by [[Brandon]] to refer to a spirit that has not yet moved into the afterlife.{{wob ref|8836}} While the manifestations of this kind of entity can vary depending on the [[Shardworld|world]] it occurs on, Cognitive Shadows can occur on any planet of the [[Cosmere]]. In general, they are similar to the concept of ghosts on Earth.
 
'''Outline'''
== Mechanics ==

Cognitive Shadows can be created by a variety of processes. Some of them are created when a person has sufficient attachment to something in the Physical Realm. When a [[Vessel]] that has held onto a [[Shard]] for a long time dies it becomes a Cognitive Shadow that can continue to act.{{wob ref|1391}} The Cognitive aspect of a recently deceased person can become a Cognitive Shadow by finding a source of Investiture to anchor themselves to the Cognitive Realm before passing on to the Beyond. The Investiture replaces the parts of the soul that connects it to the Three Realms, providing an anchor for it in the Cognitive Realm. {{wob ref|857}} Some [[Vessel]]s can prepare a Cognitive Shadow at or just prior to their death or [[Splinter|Splintering]], allowing a portion of their power to continue to function with a small amount of direction; the [[Stormfather]] is an example of this.{{wob ref|8439}}
