Crossposting this from the wiki: GUYTU6J has discovered that there are several rules that are currently stored on the wiki as ruletables but which can be converted into either isotropic or MAP LifeViewer aliases.

Not sure if it's old/uninteresting news, I've only just noticed it now. Attribute function says it was found yesterday: *** xq7_3nw17862z6952 *** Soup k_7GHmhF2BNuxN28242308 was found on 2020-04-01 at 08:50:46 UTC and is owned by John Goodman Soup k_fJGreMjvjkiw903275149 was found on 2020-06-02 at ...

How did they find Hertz in 1970? There's absolutely no available search programs at that time.

Manual experimentation. Just make an O shape with a 3x4 inside, place a dot inside it in the right spot, and stabilize the edges as you would normally and voila, Hertz oscillator.

Has this ever happened to you ? x = 621, y = 209, rule = B3/S23 598bo$596bobo$597b2o$610bo$601bo6b2o$602b2o5b2o8bo$601b2o15bo$478bo 139b3o$479b2o113bo19bo$478b2o115bo18bobo$593b3o18b2o3$508bobo$508b2o$ 509bo76bo$483bo11bobo48bob2o3bo33b2o14bob2o11b3o$481bobo12b2o44bo3b2ob o3bobo30b2o11bo3b2obo2b2o7b...

Is this loaf -> loaf siamese loaf reaction known, and can it be turned into a synthesis component?

Glider-Block Cycle is listed as an oscillator despite not being one. It should be moved to Category:Wicks.

Done. (The page is actually Glider-block cycle.)

Yeah, but the problem is "and thus not counted". If Unix on snacker is known by 1976, how is 117P18 "the first period 18 oscillator to be found"? Pretty much because previous people decades ago decided that LCM oscillators don't really count. For example, Bill Gosper alluded to the existence of an ...

I recently noticed a few strange mis-categorizations in rule B36/S245:

This was a bug that has since been fixed. Unfortunately the erroneous objects that were submitted under the broken version haven't been deleted yet.

Could redirects in the Rule namespace function as rule aliases? Example: Rule:ExtendedLife would cause this post to have a valid rule name.

I wish for a trusted flag, so i can edit a Wikipedia parody on Evin's userpage. My name is Andrew3335.

Done!

Another ruletable that doesn't work for a reason I'm not aware of: WireWorldF

Wiki page: Rule:WireWorldF

It's also possible to use code from the apgsearch 1.x Python script to perform a local census on some random huge pattern that you've created and run on your system, without uploading to Catagolue. But that takes a little rewriting, I think, unless someone can point to where the census code has bee...

Yep, so when you're watching an animation of the Game of Life, you're just watching how the grid evolves after multiple iterations. Welcome!

Currently trying to get through all the xs8 ones now; I'm going through them alphanumerically rather than by commonness and the list I'm pretty sure now contains everything up to xs8_139e that's possible to stabilize: https://www.conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=User:Ian07/Still_life_islands&diff=70...

For some reason, higher symmetry soups in hex rules only show the C1 part: https://catagolue.appspot.com/hashsoup/D12/l_uTd2fikB847J213403/b2s34h Known issue ; Catagolue just doesn't know yet how to convert them to the correct symmetry. You'll need to use lifelib for now to retrieve these soups.

Done! Test: xp15_4r4z4r4

There's a button on the posting page for this now too (just like for the viewer and wiki tags).

Awesome! Only issue is by default it leads to the "no rule specified" page; is there an option to default the rule parameter to b3s23?

Could we please have a forum tag that links to Catagolue object pages, similar to how we have the "wiki" tag? i.e. this:
would become this: xp15_4r4z4r4

Can someone complete this synthesis for xs44_ca23hu0uh32aczwckgf0fgkc?
