Regarding possible use for alien patterns

Regarding recent edits to the template: I think it would be better to avoid using this template on pages about alien patterns (and add a separate infrastructure if any is needed, or avoid infoboxes in the OCA namespace at all). Confocal (talk) 16:54, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

I made the edits for the exact purpose of allowing infoboxes in alien patterns without putting them into categories. --Galoomba (talk) 17:03, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

The usefulness of infoboxes on pages about alien patterns is an open issue. I'd prefer {{EmbedViewer}} transclusions with captions describing patterns, instead of attempting to reuse infrastructure that was not designed to support other rules. Confocal (talk) 17:05, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

Open issue? Where is it talked about? --Galoomba (talk) 17:06, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
