It occurs to me that we have two goals on the Coppermind: to get new articles and to make old articles better. In improving articles, there is theoretically two end goals, either they are Complete or they are Exemplary. Many Stubs are, in some respects, the proto-version of Complete articles--short articles that just need some more info, and then we'll have all known information on the subject. It occurs to me that we need a category for articles that are Notable or important. That is, they are candidates to become Exemplary articles. Articles in this category should be very good, and superior to other wiki's offerings. Stubs give us a way to know what we need to work on, but I think a Notable category would allow editors to ensure we have very important articles to be awesome. What do you think?
Practically speaking, Notable articles would be many things in the series
:I think this sounds smart. That way we can point people at this category so everyone knows what's crucial for the wiki to be most informative. There are invariably some articles that are more important then this. Although, I'm not one to be talking, considering all the useless little articles I usually end up making XD --[[User:Windrunner|Windrunner]] ([[User talk:Windrunner|talk]]) 02:31, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
== Please explain! ==
Hi, Eric! Please explain why have you removed me from the editors? I can't create any new pages now! --'''[[User:Auri|<span style="color:purple">Auri</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Auri|
: Hi! Which pages need creating, in your opinion? Windrunner added this so you could make your talk pages and we'd like to just see how things progress before giving blanket page creation ability. Most pages should ideally exist already. Please feel free to contact us, or for live feedback, come in our [https://discord.gg/zyJMB2d Discord server] where many staff can answer your questions-- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 08:26, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
:: I will try if the forums would let me log in. Turns out, I may need to re-create an account on there. Thanks for the help! Who stole that username Auri? Auri has always been my username for
::: Auri is a character in Kingkiller Chronicles, and I imagine plenty of places on the internet people have that username. Sorry! Also, can I please recommend you not use your automated tool for adjusting typos here? I've noticed it has adjusted things on talk pages that are other people's replies, and it is generating objectively wrong grammar changes like changing "slimfish" to "slim fish". Please disable those here, thanks! -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 08:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
:::: Sorry, I cannot do that. I won't do it on talk pages but I need to do it on articles. Everyone else appreciates me fixing grammar. If I do make a mistake, please let me know! --'''[[User:Auri|<span style="color:purple">Auri</span>]]''' ([[User talk:Auri|Express yourself, be heard!]]) 08:36, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
::::: Please do not take offense, but the automated tool you are using on articles actively has required us to clean up most edits you have done. For example it changed "metalminds" to "metal minds" which clearly is incorrect given how it is written in Era 1. Obviously, this is fantasy, so things probably won't be in the dictionary. We do not want to have to need to closely scrutinize all your edits for such errors. Turn it off; you've made errors already. Please go look in your contrib list and see that many of your edits have needed to be altered, and I believe this tool is the cause. It is not being helpful. I'm sorry if this hurts your workflow, but we pride ourselves on accuracy towards the text, and such automated edits show your plugin is not sophisticated enough here to deal with the made-up words that will be commonplace here. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 08:58, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
== Healing spike ==
You may be interested in my response to your comment at [[Talk:Steel Inquisitor]]. - [[User:Ebmid2|Ebmid2]] ([[User talk:Ebmid2|talk]]) 01:03, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
:I have now edited my response, by the way. - [[User:Ebmid2|Ebmid2]] ([[User talk:Ebmid2|talk]]) 07:52, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
== Why can’t I create my user page? ==
When I look at my user page when I am not logged in, it says that the page should be created by me. But, when I’m logged in, it says I can’t create the page. Can you help? I’d like to create my user page. [[User:WingJay|WingJay]] ([[User talk:WingJay|talk]]) 16:35, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Hey WingJay! This is due to a permissions issue but should be all fixed - you should be able to create pages (including your userpage) now. :) Let me know (or someone else of course) if you're still having issues and we can look into it for you. Cheers! [[User:LadyLameness|LadyLameness]] ([[User talk:LadyLameness|talk]]) 03:47, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Thanks! The problem is fixed now!

== Featured in ==
Can you explain to me why you removed the books that things were featured in? --[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 00:46, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
:The purpose of that is not to list every instance a thing was in. That's obviously going to be untenable as the cosmere progresses, given what happened in TLM, and we'll have to create new policy on that. Let's discuss in Discord. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 00:49, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
: Also, as we have had to repeatedly talk to you about, you tend to add superfluous stuff to infoboxes that have often needed to be reverted, so I do think let's discuss how this goes rather than unilaterally choosing what is best might be good. -- [[User:Chaos2651|Chaos2651]] ([[User talk:Chaos2651|talk]]) 00:53, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
