Catagolue links

I noticed that all three links at the bottom of the page are for "Tlife", even though they link to the tlife, tHighLife, and tDryLife pages. Is there any way around that? The LinkCatagolueRule template seems to be reading the page name, which obviously doesn't work here. A for awesome (talk) 16:33, 19 June 2017 (UTC)

Yeah, the template supports a rulename= parameter and only defaults to the pagename if no name is explicitely specified using that. I've edited the article to use this parameter. Apple Bottom (talk) 12:05, 20 June 2017 (UTC)

My thoughts

I think can briefly describe they here, and create a new articles to key describe they (talk).

condition vs transition

Re: "... it also stomped on a valid improvement, "condition" -> "transition"." -- that is an incorrect summary of what happened.
Instead, my initial edit changed "transition" to "condition" since that is more correct (see for example thread732). A transition is an event that can happen with a cell (e.g. birth is a transition from "dead" to "alive"). A condition is a part of a rule definition, e.g. specific neighbourhood ("B6" = "birth when there are 6 alive neighbours" is a condition).
Then my edit was reverted without any explanation, which included both restoring alternative name for a rule that is not found on the forum, and revert of my change of "transition" to "condition". The revert was not a valid improvement. Confocal (talk) 15:26, 20 November 2023 (UTC)
