This is my sandbox for loafing. Please, implement this idea.
Some formats
The following pattern is demonstrated with LifeViewer.
{{EmbedViewer
|pname = / |rle =
|position = left/center/right
|viewerconfig = #C [[ ]]
|caption = blah blah.<br>
}}
A link to a pattern in catagolue. {{LinkCatagolue|style=raw|rule=b3-jknr4ity5ijk6i8s23-a4city6c7c|xs10_25bkc|patternname=Cis-boat at boat}} shows "Cis-boat at boat"; {{LinkCatagolue|style=brief|rule=b3-jknr4ity5ijk6i8s23-a4city6c7c|xs10_25bkc}} displays "Catagolue: here".

Random remarks from private messages
The 100-message limit of private messages system on the forums is just too small, so I will make some notes here and update sometimes. Don't worry, there are nothing too private.
- Concerning this topic itself, Saka once suggested according to their reasoning and morals that one would need to ask the recipients and senders of those PMs for permission to make those PMs public. A way to keep a local copy of PMs is to download PMs; at the very bottom there's a dropdown that says "Export this view:", where one can download all PMs as CSV or XML.
- Hey, you can circumvent that limit while storing PMs in the online system. In Private messages → Rules, folders & settings, add a new folder (say Inbox 2) in the FOLDER OPTIONS section; and then go to the Inbox, mark all PMs, move marked to Inbox 2. Voila! Your Inbox is empty again and ready to receive another 100 PMs. Fresh folders also have a 100-message limit each, so you need to repeat these steps in the very long run.
- Reporting posts should be reserved for things that are actually wrong and need attention from a moderator, thus using it as kind of silent PM/post to moderator(s) about academic stuff is not encouraged.
- When doing a search whose results require other's work to check out, remember to tell them when to start and finish the search in time, or they will have to do repetitive work on the same material.
- Despite the blue name, Kazyan actually has the same moderating capabilities like those green-named moderators, meaning that they can edit posts without leaving a summary. Consequently this post was edited in 2020 to include the beehive-push catalyst but the note still said it was last edited in 2018.
- Regarding the "yl" apgcode for linear growth patterns, there are two explanations but not very complete.
- Obviously RLE:UnknownPattern doesn't exist, but any page linking to it implicitly with the pattern infobox parameter "pname = UnknownPattern" will be listed at Special:WhatLinksHere/RLE:UnknownPattern which seems to encourage the creation of said RLE page.
- User:Sokwe/Sandbox calls many instances of DynamicPageList, causing many pages transcluded in it. Oddly enough, User:Ian07/DPL, another place to use DPL, is said to link to deleted pages such as Special:WhatLinksHere/RRx56H and Special:WhatLinksHere/Eater_1_with_blinker. And this is much weirder as you can't encode an unknown pattern: Special:WhatLinksHere/RLE:UnknownPattern.
- Template:EmbedViewer and LV:Viewer are very different things; the former uses Template:LifeViewer config/default but the latter doesn't, and the former is based on the latter. I have designed Template:EmbedViewerRule that uses LV:Viewer but with a custom Template:LifeViewer config/rule.
Another random remark for my current laptop (solution in Chinese)
Problem: the prolonged ikpx2 search (in WSL) mentioned here led to vmmem's consuming a large portion of memory, and even after uninstalling the WSL* there was still a thing named "Memory Compression" that took up an abnormally high physical memory.
*btw I was so careless that I forgot to copy the backup files from said search :(
Solution from Baidu-ing: 右键单击桌面“此电脑”→“关于”窗口，“相关设置”下的系统保护→“系统属性”窗口，“高级”选项卡下的“性能”设置→“性能选项”窗口，“高级”选项卡下的“虚拟内存”更改→取消勾选“自动管理所有驱动的分页文件大小”，在非C 盘勾选自定义大小（初始大小2048MB，最大8192MB）→重启电脑，发现资源监视器中"Memory Compression"（内存压缩）的占用大大减小。
Music Test
For a music file, [[Media:<filename>]] shows a direct link to somewhere under [.../w/images/...], [[File:<filename>]] shows a player and [[:File:<filename>]] shows a link to the File page.
DPL page count
Currently there are 1907 pages under the Rule namespace.
I had a dream last night (May 16) where I've magically become a LifeWiki admin and I can see the option not to leave a redirect when moving a page! Unfortunately, the dream is so short that there is nothing about cleaning up the pending deletions.
