Capitalization (Blockic, Blockish) would only make sense if it was a derivative, linguistically, of capital-B Block. Since we're aiming for "of or relating to a lowercase-b block" a lowercase-b "blockic/blockish" makes more sense in my opinion.

How do you make an animated CGOL pattern as your profile picture? Or do you have to do it as a GIF

Common sense suggests that everyone who edits pages is an editor, and being able to edit pages does not imply any extended access such as deletion of pages. I think something like "page deleter" would be better for this purpose.

How many are there well-defined CA rulestring notations in existence?
