To be specific, the duplicate is here; the first copy should be removed.

Add a page for ponytail and replace the "unnamed" in the hat section of the tail page with "Ponytail"

[qqd]

Perhaps this is notable enough to be put in the 117P9H3V0 article? An phase-agnostic eater for it, to be specific. Compact eaters for large spaceships are difficult to find, as they often dissolve into lots of debris to clean up. This also contains a transparent beehive, and which (I think) has the only use case of the bistable catalyst mentioned at the very end of Tutorials/Catalyses.

The wiki page for Intermittent stream doesn't look like the included lifeviewer pattern is an intermittent gun. It is said to be a "cordpuller", whatever that is, but at any rate the gliders are coming out at p120 on two different lanes, not a every-third-glider-deleted gun like it's supposed to be.

Now that this is a separate subforum (is that the word?) I think it's time to pin this thread.

Can you pin the RFC thread too? I think it’s necessary.

[confocaloid]

Can you pin the RFC thread too? I think it’s necessary.

Well the main question that was asked in the first post of that thread got answered by creation of this subforum. For this reason I don't think that thread needs to be pinned.

In the same edit, can remove "rulespecial" from the infobox (LifeWiki:Tiki_bar#Back_into_the_Future_of_the_rulespecial_parameter) and apply minor formatting/markup fixes (explicitly bulleted lists in "External links", consistent formatting for footnotes).

• Edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?titl ... did=141739 should be reverted. It damages an internal link, and it removes the rulestring which is useful for readers who are not familiar with aliases. A reader should not have to follow the link to know the rulestring.
• Edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff ... did=142301 should be reverted. A block array larger than 1x1 is not Blockic (see viewtopic.php?p=172692#p172692 for context).
• Edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?titl ... did=142300 should be reverted. A bi-block is not a Blockic constellation (see viewtopic.php?p=172692#p172692 for context).

EDIT by dvgrn: Nothing has been done with the last two items yet (19 Dec 2023). That issue seems to be still open, as described here.

The page OCA:B35/S236 was moved without consensus to a name with unclear source that arbitrarily singles out one of those people who explored the rule. The page should be moved back to the rulestring-based pagename.

• The edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff ... did=142604 removes an ambox linking to a discussion thread. The ambox is relevant, and it should be readded back, since the discussion is open.
• The edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff ... did=142933 should be reverted. The bolded text in the lead should not contain links in general, and in this case the same link is already present later in text.
• The edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff ... did=140938 should be reverted. A factory is either a non-glider gun or a stationary device that produces a stationary object (still life/oscillator). "non-spaceship guns" do not exist, and methuselahs are not relevant.
• The edit https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?diff ... did=142310 removes a link to tagalong. The link tagalong should be restored back.

EDIT by dvgrn: reviewed and mostly implemented (by either hotdogPi or me).

This periodic cordership heisenburp device, consisting of a snake, a beehive and a suitable sparker should either have an article of its own (being small and notable enough) or be mentioned in Model D Heisenburp.

This can handle all but 4 phases of Karel's p15. Yet this can handle all that Model D can handle, despite being miles smaller!
A higher-period oscillator to provide the spark is better in this case, as there are more phases which work. (The 4 sparking phases remain consistent). But it will also make the repeat time higher. Very neat observation!

Should we use the dpl function for the dyk page? It is easier to maintain that way.
