Revision as of 00:21, 19 January 2020

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 new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this page for figuring that out and drafting articles.

List of Commonly Linked to Disambigs

List of things with the same name within a series

Does not include meta articles or articles that could be differentiated without a parenthetical (e.g., Chip Erikell)
Characters:

Other:

Diagram (group) and Diagram (literature)
Oathbringer (in-world) and Oathbringer (Shardblade)
Wandersail and Wandersail (1174 ship)
Wyrn (character) and Wyrn (title)
Patji (island) and Patji (being)

Formatting Notes

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

There's hidden  text here, click "edit" if you want to see how it's done
Mouseover text
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

Edit Template:wob ref to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs

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. Currently slogging through figuring out how to explain Realmatics, Adonalsium, etc. when I have the time and mindset for it.
Updating the new articles from Starsight (most pages are created, just need to be filled in):
- Pages to be created: Skyward Universe(on hold for discussion, may do after the cosmere page)
- Make sure species names and variations of "cytonic" are lowercase. Biggest offenders are probably Category:Defending Elysium
- {{character}} needs to be updated for new species, but that's not something I'm going to try doing
- Change |books= to Skyward instead of Skyward
- 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.
Things I've noticed may need some help while working on the cosmere page and may try to work on later:
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, Category:Articles with disputed content, and Category:Disambiguation pages (also at Special:DisambiguationPageLinks)
- 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
De-stubbing the cosmere (Last checked 2019-11-29):
- Coppermind:Elantris#Stubs (0 stubs)
- Coppermind:Emperor's Soul#Stubs (0 stubs)
- Coppermind:Mistborn Era 1#Stubs (0 stubs)
- Coppermind:Mistborn Era 2#Stubs (<20 stubs)
- Coppermind:Stormlight Archive#Stubs (0 stubs)
- Coppermind:Warbreaker#Stubs (0 stubs)
- Coppermind:White Sand#Stubs (<20 stubs)
- Coppermind:Cosmere#Stubs (<10 stubs from short stories and general cosmere)
Other pages to work on:
- Elendel#Government

Sub-pages

Small Workspace (Currently for cosmere revisions)

Note: I'm not putting too much effort into layout (sidequotes and images mostly) just yet, because the text isn't set in ~~stone~~ steel yet and if it changes that could impact layout. I do intend to add more though, especially images.
