I started reading [[Brandon Sanderson|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've got some miscellaneous resources and notes on this page, as well as a vague list of [[#Projects]] and my [[#Subpages]].

I'm also a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]] and member of the [[Coppermind:Synod|Synod]], which basically means I'm someone you can come to if you want some help getting started on the Coppermind, have any questions about wiki policies or guidelines, want some advice on how to handle something, think there's something that needs to be done that you don't have permissions for, run into an issue with another editor, or otherwise need help with something Coppermind-related. Feel free to contact me via any of the options listed on [[{{TALKPAGENAME}}|my talk page]].
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 often take inspiration for edits from things I see in [[Special:RecentChanges]] so if I edit something you just did, it's probably not because you did anything wrong, I just saw something else on the page that I thought could be improved.
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 and [[Special:Diff/169139|my ten thousandth edit]] was adding a disambiguation note to between Tindwyl and Tindwyl Ladrian (I note that only so that I can remember in five years exactly which page it was).
 
== Subpages ==
== Stormlight Major Characters History Status ==
{{Special:PrefixIndex/{{FULLPAGENAME}}/}}
*[[Kaladin]]: Pretty detailed through end of OB part 1, though there might be some gaps. Nothing past that.
*[[Shallan]]: Pretty detailed until departure for Kholinar in OB, extremely light past that.
*[[Dalinar]]: Fairly detailed through WoR and very beginning of OB, nothing really past that.
*[[Venli]]: Short, though I think everything's just about there. Could maybe use more detail, since she's going to be the main character.
*[[Eshonai]]: The basics are there, more detail might be good though. Since she's dead, maybe it's worth trying to complete this so that the only thing left after RoW is whatever flashbacks she gets?
*[[Adolin]]: Extremely detailed through WoR, OB barely started.
*[[Szeth]]: Looks pretty good actually.
*[[Renarin]]: Practically nothing from WoK or WoR, minimal OB content (Part 1 might be covered okay, but that's it).
*[[Jasnah]]: Looks okay through WoR, very basics of OB look like they're there, but could use more detail.
*[[Navani]]: In pretty good shape; some attention wouldn't hurt, but I think it'd be okay if it doesn't get much.

== Exemplary Article Tracking ==
== Formatting Notes==
=== Exemplary Articles by Series ===
Add spaces in front of lines to create boxes like this:
This section separates out exemplary articles by what series they are from, to assist in providing variety for the featured article. As a check for each series has to be added manually, some exemplary articles may be missed. For reference, there are currently {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Exemplary articles|pages}} exemplary articles.
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>
{| width=100%
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) or the File namespace (otherwise you just display the image)
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''The Stormlight Archive'''''
Use &mdash; for em dashes.
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Stormlight Archive
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''Mistborn'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Mistborn
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''Elantris'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Elantris
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''Warbreaker'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Warbreaker
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''''Shadows for Silence'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Shadows for Silence
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''Skyward'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = Skyward
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
'''''The Rithmatist'''''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
category = The Rithmatist
addfirstcategorydate = true
ordermethod = categoryadd
</dynamicpagelist>
|}
 
=== Candidates for Promotion ===
This section aims to identify complete articles that may be candidates for promotion to exemplary based on article length. Current exemplary articles are included in the list of complete articles and a separate list of current exemplary articles by page length is provided for ease of referencing where the complete articles stand relative to current exemplary ones.
 
{| width=100%
|-
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''Current Exemplary Articles'''
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Exemplary articles
ordermethod = length
mode = ordered
</dynamicpagelist>
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''Complete Articles by Size'''
{{columns|count=4|
<dynamicpagelist>
category = Complete articles
ordermethod = length
mode = ordered
count = 48
</dynamicpagelist>
}}
|}
 
== Projects ==
=== Primary ===
'''Personal'''
* Fabrial parameter on {{t|metal}} infobox?
*[[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.
* Implementing [[/Subpage list]]?
*'''Re-check the type of infobox on whatever we end up calling the article for the delver training maze after Skyward 3 comes out.'''
* Standards for Uncanonical titles vs Unnamed characters categories?
*''Updating the [[:Category:Starsight|new articles from ''Starsight'']] (most pages are created, just need to be filled in):''
* Spoiler redirect template?
**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 Rattle]]s. Death Rattles page might need reorganizing.
*Look into editing {{t|wob ref}} to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs
*Maybe update [[:File:BrandonSanderson.jpg|our picture of Brandon]], maybe with [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Brandon_Sanderson_-_Lucca_Comics_%26_Games_2016.jpg this (Wikimedia Commons)]
*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]]
**[[Sigzil]]
 
'''=== General quality''' ===
* 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]].
*Fix [[:Category:Sidequote with lazy parameters]] ([[User:King of Herdaz]] took care of these, but check them occasionally for new ones)
* Check articles linking to {{t|17s ref}}, {{t|Qa ref}} (should only be User pages left), {{t|Twg ref}}, and {{t|Sots ref}}.
**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.
* Find chapters for [[:Category:Chapterless references]].
*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]].
* Other: See list at [[Special:SpecialPages]].
*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]]

* '''Re-check the type of infobox on whatever we end up calling the article for the delver training maze after Skyward 3 comes out.'''
'''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}}
