Basically "CP0" has been chosen completely arbitrarily for now -- maybe there's an obvious choice for that, but the stamp collection can be recalibrated once that's figured out. The important part is collecting the sixteen options that make a complete set, and then we can figure out the best labels...

I might want to have a personal page though I will have to think about it... The way that this thread works is that new requests are honored by default -- the policy is basically "trust but verify". You had rescinded your request, but this message more or less reinstates it, so I've set your truste...

[*] I think the infobox in the linked change should say "Static symmetry: n", and link to Category:Strict still lifes with n symmetry . However, the description in that category page should be edited, to avoid incorrectly implying that "n" denotes a kinetic symmetry... Would it work to add a separa...

...you will never get all 68 remainders by doing this: {{Mod|{{CURRENTDAY}}|68}} True! Now trying {{#time:z}} instead. Seems to work -- by adding various integers I was able to get the expression to roll over from "speed tunnel" to "primer". Another problem is that, if you want to have the displaye...

Familiarity with the notability and style guide has been established. The purpose of this request is to obtain permission to correct any typos discovered on pages in the future, perform other minor edits, and share personal findings exclusively on the personal user page. Trusted flag has been added...

I would prefer to use "n" rather than "C1" (and likewise for other types of symmetry that a pattern can have in a single generation), both for oscillator patterns and for still life patterns. I think one should distinguish between "Static symmetry" and "Kinetic symmetry" in the infobox, but that do...

"Be bold" doesn't really apply to changes that involve editing multiple pages in quick succession. That's just yet another undiscussed editing campaign, and not any kind of "experimental edits". I'm sorry, confocaloid, but this all sounds like complete nonsense to me. "Be bold" can perfectly well a...

https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=Grandfather_problem&curid=8369&diff=156051&oldid=155578 Problematic for the same reasons. (The topic of the article is grandfather problem , which is not just a single specific pattern. The topic of this article doesn't have any specific symmetry.) I think t...

Large-scale changes definitely need observable consensus. If someone is planning to edit "a few dozen [...] pages" at once, then it is no longer "experimental edits". [...] experimental edits [...] [...] a few dozen still-life pages -- [...] One or two dozen edits is big enough to get the attention...

There has been no reply for a while. Can we safely declare consensus? It seems like the discussion about replacing kinetic symmetry with static symmetry for still lifes has slipped from "active discussion" into "no more discussion for now", quite some time ago. Haycat2009 has asked me if it makes s...

Does MediaWiki support integer division? Day/5. Then you can't quite exactly say "this week's featured article", though. Taking a modulus seems like a cleaner calculation. I just tried an experimental switchover to a mod-68 calculation (and we can bump up the "68" to bigger numbers when more snippe...

I added about 20 more snippets about a year ago, but the featured article algorithm is still limited to the number of weeks in the year, so they haven't been put in the rotation. There are currently 68 snippets in the list of snippets . If we can get to 106 snippets pointing to good advertisable ar...

I think further changes ( such as edits https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff=156009&oldid=152450 , https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=Charity%27s_p16&curid=25537&diff=156012&oldid=155973 , https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=86P118&curid=30853&diff=156026&oldid=153740 by User:Galoomba...

The issue at hand is larger than just removals of "after" parts (sample objects) in glider syntheses. ... As I posted earlier in the forum thread "Glider synthesis on LifeWiki" , one of several recent editing campaigns is a re-orientation of multiple RLEs in the "RLE:" namespace, without any explan...

The latter example above (58P190) illustrates how the unexplained content removal in ( https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff=155975&oldid=152137 ) transformed a possibly-correct claim into a certainly-incorrect claim. This seems like an easy obvious one to roll back, so I've done that -- simplify...

I can't believe this! What can't you believe, exactly? The top three patterns you posted generate a block-laying switch engine , while the 50x1 pattern at the bottom makes a pair of glider-producing switch engine s. Where did the one-cell-thick pattern come from? Switch engines are rare, but not re...

Okay, looks like the issue at hand is fifteen removals of sample objects in syntheses, on these article pages: Trans-block_on_long_bookend Trans-loaf_with_tail Block_on_cap Elevener Tapeworm Trans-long_boat_with_tail Beehive_with_hooked_tail Cis-boat_on_cap Long_boat_tie_ship Beehive_on_table Snorke...

Anyways, I'll keep using B+Univ. Thats ... really not a very good plan. In any case, my request stands. Please pick a name for this rule and any other rules you may choose to invent, that doesn't have any special characters in it besides hyphens and underscores ... and edit existing posts that ment...

The recently created page " Aperiodic tiling " ( current revision ) misses an important distinction... There's definitely a little copy-editing needed in the first paragraph. The jump from talking about tilings to talking about "sets of shape" (sic) is maybe a little too abrupt, there isn't really ...

It also occurs to me that it there's no reason to do an exact translation of a name, and then impose it forever... Makes sense. On the other hand, this also is going to depend on how ambitious and all-at-once the translation project is. If a Chinese translation of the Life Lexicon ever gets created...

Thought I saw Jormungant saying here that there's no requirement to follow this new faster F171 with a dependent conduit. The message disappeared, but it certainly seems to be true. And it has largely better RT... Here are a few more variants for the record -- repeat time as low as 120, but not lowe...

The strings of new LifeWiki accounts are pretty clearly spammer accounts -- they follow a very standard naming pattern, and none of them ever show up to request a trusted flag. If any of them do create a corresponding forum account and make that request, I'm definitely going to be asking them some v...

Alternatively, if there's enough interest to attempt a larger project, something equivalent to Nicolay Beluchenko's translation of the Life Lexicon into Russian would certainly be an option. We could certainly put a link right next to Beluchenko's, for a completed downloadable translation of current...

Drifters in wires, other types of signals in conduits, and the occasional oscillator The following probably misses a bunch of interesting search results where "Silk" wasn't mentioned close enough to the posted pattern that I could find it in a quick pass -- I'll keep filling in quotes here as I fin...

Can we synthesis p67 snark loop? Sure, why not? If we can build the p43 Snark loop , then a p67 version could be done as a variant of that. Might be interesting to see how much the p43 Snark loop recipe could be improved now, actually. Even if 3G glider insertions #5, #6, and #7 don't happen to wor...
