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'm using this page to keep track of some [[#Projects]] and [[#Subpages]] for the larger-scale edits I'm working on, as well as for listing some miscellanious resources and notes.
 
I'm also a [[Coppermind:Keepers|Keeper]] and member of the [[Coppermind:Synod|Synod]], which I guessbasically means I'm qualifiedsomeone you can come to answerif questionsyou aboutwant howsome tohelp dogetting started on the Coppermind, have any questions about wiki thingspolicies or guidelines, want some advice on how to handle weirdsomething, situations.think Feelthere's freesomething that needs to contactbe medone onthat [[Useryou talk:Stargazer|mydon't talkhave page]]permissions orfor, onrun [https://discord.gg/KEv3fhNinto ouran Coppermindissue editorswith Discordanother server]editor, (I'mor Stargazer#6905otherwise thereneed ifhelp youwith wantsomething Coppermind-related.

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.
 
[[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).

== Stormlight Major Characters History Status ==
We'd like to get these updated for the release of ''[[Rhythm of War]]''. See [[Help:Character histories]] for guidelines.</div>
 
'''Needs work'''
*[[Shallan]]: Pretty detailed until departure for Kholinar in OB, extremely light 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?
*[[Navani]]: Needs help, but might not be an easy one to do&mdash;problems are a bit more structural than the other characters'.
*[[Renarin]]: Practically nothing from WoK or WoR, minimal OB content (Part 1 might be covered okay, but that's it). Being worked on by King of Herdaz
 
'''In good shape'''<br />
''Needs review?''
*[[Kaladin]]: Updated for OB by Jarno87 and Gobblinggoblin
*[[Adolin]]: Updated for OB by Jarno87
*[[Jasnah]]: Updated for OB by PiedPeterPiper
*[[Dalinar]]: Updated for OB by King of Herdaz

== Exemplary ArticlesArticle by BookTracking ==
=== Exemplary Articles by Series ===
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.

=== Candidates for Promotion ===
== Projects ==
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.
=== Current ===
 
As in, actively (ish) being worked on and hopefully will be done soon.
{| width=100%
* Moving the list of spren to a subpage. Subpage in progress at [[User:Stargazer/Spren/Known types of spren]]; working on what would be left of the spren article at [[User:Stargazer/Spren]]. Check redirects to spren page when done; will need to be re-pointed to subpage.
|-
* Working on [[Realmatic Theory]] at [[User:Stargazer/Realmatic Theory]]
| style="vertical-align:top" |'''Current Exemplary Articles'''
* Resolve open suggestions for deltion/moves/merges. Excellent progress; moved to [[Coppermind:Editor's Corner]].
<dynamicpagelist>
* Tweaking <code>era</code> parameters (this one's grown a bit since I started it). New {{t|era}} template is at the top of this page, doing infobox work on [[User:Stargazer/General Testing]].

=== PersonalProjects ===
=== Primary ===
* '''Re-check the type of infobox on whatever we end up calling the article for the delver training maze after Skyward 3 comes out.'''
* Fabrial parameter on {{t|metal}} infobox?
* Make sure species names and variations of "cytonic" are lowercase. Biggest offenders are probably [[:Category:Defending Elysium]]
* Implementing [[/Subpage list]]?
** Check <code>world</code> parameter; I think we said this should be homeworld, not wherever the species happens to appear.
* Standards for Uncanonical titles vs Unnamed characters categories?
* I think there's some clean-up that could be done on high level categories (and meta categorization!); look into that some more and discuss with Keepers.
* Spoiler redirect template?
* 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)].
* Organize [[Coppermind:Artists/taratjah]]'s tarot cards, but that also requires working out galleries.
* [[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.
*Other articles to maybe work on some day
** [[Cognitive Shadow]]
** [[Elendel#Government]]
** [[Summary:Sixth of the Dusk]]
** [[Sigzil]]
** [[True Desolation]]
** Try to figure out what the Higgens Effect is. See [[Rame Maldor]] and ''Shadows of Self'' chapter 9.
 
=== General quality ===
* Check articles linking to {{t|17s ref}}, {{t|Qa ref}} (should only be User pages left), {{t|Twg ref}}, and {{t|Sots ref}}.
* Find chapters for [[:Category:Chapterless references]].
* Add links to [[Summary:Skyward]].
* Review articles. List of {{t|complete}} articles that interest me separately.
* Review list of [[Special:UnusedCategories]] with Keepers.
* Other: See list at [[Special:SpecialPages]].
 
==== Keep an eye on ====
* [[:Category:Sidequote with lazy parameters]]
** Is it worth trying to change the sidequote template to eliminate this? I'm not sure how helpful it is.
* 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]].
** Consider making redirects to disambigs (e.g. Mistborn (disambiguation) would redirect to Mistborn) so that we can link to disambigs in hat notes without clogging the Special page.
* Redirects for new common searches on [[Special:SearchStats]].
* [https://coppermind.net/wiki/Special:Search?search=-hastemplate:stub+-hastemplate:partial+-hastemplate:complete+-incategory:meta+-incategory:subpages+-incategory:%22spoiler+redirects%22+-incategory:%22Cover+Galleries%22+-incategory:%22interior+art%22+-incategory:%22Gallery+Subpages%22&&&ns0=1 Missing completion tags]

Content I wrote for the new cosmere page, was too detailed, but might be useful elsewhere
 
'''Cognitive Realm'''<br />
The reason for this [land/water] inversion also has something to do with how people think, as well as where they are likely to pass.{{msh ref|3|2}}
Not hedging on the land/water inversion being limited to Roshar and Scadrial. Leras implies it's a universal property; nuance can be discussed elsewhere.
 
'''Spiritual Realm'''<br />
Since the Spiritual Realm is not truly a place, travel to it does not so much involve literally going there, but rather seeing the various Connections of the present and into the future. For example, when [[Elend Venture]] burned [[atium]] with [[duralumin]], he was pulled mostly into the Spiritual Realm for a moment and understood [[Leras]]' plan for the death of [[Ati]].{{wob ref|6304}}{{book ref|mb3|81}} Visions, such as the ones [[Honor]] left for potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]], almost always involved being pulled partially into the Spiritual Realm, with an additional "Cognitive framework" to provide the structure of the vision.{{wob ref|9562}}
 
It appears, however, that a person's accent is tied to their Identity, not the their Connection.{{wob ref|2558}} As a result, if a person forms Connection without adjusting their Identity, the person's soul will remember where they were born, and they will speak with an accent.{{book ref|mb6|22}} Suppressing that part of one's Identity, however, would allow one to speak with a local accent;{{wob ref|2558}} other methods may work as well.{{wob ref|9012}}
 
'''Investiture'''<br />
Like regular matter and energy, Investiture, when highly concentrated, causes time dilation.{{wob ref|13425}}
Any pure Investiture in a solid state is always a metal.{{wob ref|9291}}
Just as matter and energy can be converted into each other, Investiture can be converted to matter or energy, and vice versa.{{wob ref|3544}} Like matter and energy, it can neither be created nor destroyed, only changed from one form to another.{{wob ref|1649}} Investiture thus adheres to the laws of thermodynamics, though, in the cosmere, there is a yet-unknown fourth law that relates to Adonalsium.{{wob ref|3544}}
though the phrases "manifestations of Investiture" and "forms of Investiture" are also used [to refer to Invested Arts].{{book ref|mb4|part=ars}}{{book ref|elantris|part=ars}}
 
''More detailed version cut from Realmatic Theory work''<br />
In addition to having ordinary mass and energy, the cosmere also has a magical power known as [[Investiture]]. Investiture is closely tied to the Spiritual Realm,{{wob ref|5610}}{{wob ref|3413}} which holds a vast reserve of Investiture,{{wob ref|7079}} but ultimately transcends the divisions between the three Realms.{{wob ref|5610}} Over time, Investiture will cycle between the Realms,{{wob ref|7079}}{{wob ref|11041}} but ultimately returns to the Spiritual Realm.{{wob ref|397}}{{book ref|mb6|28}}
 
Investiture follows many of the same laws of physics that ordinary mass and energy do. Just as [[wikipedia:mass–energy equivalence|mass and energy can be converted to each other]], so to can Investiture be converted to mass or energy, and vice versa.{{wob ref|4765}}{{wob ref|3544}} Once this equivalence is accounted for, the cosmere adheres to the [[wikipedia:laws of thermodynamics|laws of thermodynamics]],{{wob ref|3544}}{{wob ref|1649}}{{wob ref|5093}} though there is an additional fourth law that relates to [[Adonalsium]].{{wob ref|3544}} Like matter and energy, high concentrations of Investiture [[wikipedia:general relativity|curves space]], but it primarily affects the geometry of the Realms and brings them closer together rather than creating ordinary gravitational effects. At a certain point, this effect will cause a [[perpendicularity]] to form.{{wob ref|8920}} Similarly, high concentrations of Investiture also cause [[wikipedia:time dilation|time dilation]],{{wob ref|13425}} though it appears that far higher concentrations than those usually found in perpendicularities are needed for this effect to become noticeable.{{book ref|sa3|119}}{{book ref|mb2|58}} Investiture is [[wikipedia:quantization (physics)|quantized]] and has [[wikipedia:force carrier|force carriers]], though they act "very oddly."{{wob ref|3413}} Investiture also has a property that associates with specific Shards, though it is also still linked to Adonalsium.{{wob ref|8605}}{{wob ref|9385}}
 
'''Shards'''<br />
Shards can also create various constructs that will act according to rules they lay down and do not require direct action on their part to maintain. Examples of this include how [[Preservation]] set up the [[mist]]s to [[Snapping|Snap]] people and the [[Dalinar's visions|visions]] [[Honor]] left for potential [[Order of Bondsmiths|Bondsmiths]].{{wob ref|4445}}{{book ref|sa1|75}}
 
A Vessel's expanded mind also allows them to stretch time to fit their needs, and they can instantaneously move their focus around a world in which they are Invested.{{book ref|mb3|76}}{{book ref|mb3|79}}
 
At least one Shard, [[Autonomy]], has also shown the ability to create additional avatars of herself.{{epigraph ref|sa3|50}} Shardic avatars appear to be personalities tied to a piece of a Shard's power that can nevertheless be disconnected from the main focus of a Shard's Investiture, allowing them to operate far from the main body of the Shard's attention and power and with a degree of independence.{{wob ref|3974}}{{epigraph ref|sa3|43}}{{wob ref|9385}} Avatars can be created without a Shard's conscious involvement, but a Shard is always aware of his or her avatars.{{wob ref|13220}}
 
'''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}}
