}}Understand that. Was looking for a shortcut, but upon reflection, what you describe is a better way. Thanks.GUYTU6J wrote: October 22nd, 2021, 10:00 pm Oh, just noticed the recent large pile of LifeWiki edits on this. To have the "RLE:here" link appear, you do need to point to a file instead of embedding the RLE directly, but you can create that yourself.
For example, you would copy the RLE of P94S2, create a new page named RLE:p94s2 (which is under the RLE namespace) and paste the RLE there. And then in the article for P94S, changetoCode: Select all
{{EmbedViewer |rle = <a lengthy RLE for P94S2> ... }}This way LifeViewer is pointed to the RLE file and the link will appear. By doing so, not only the page is simplified and easier to edit, but also the pattern can be embedded in other articles at the same time.Code: Select all
{{EmbedViewer |pname = p94s2 ... }}
Note: 1)the pname referred in embedded viewer should be an alphanumeric string, and even no capital letters are allowed. (By MediaWiki default, the page you created has a capital following the RLE: namespace name, but this is just a displayed title and has no influence on actual usage.)
2)Creating an RLE page for a pattern does not imply that it has been uploaded to the official LifeWiki pattern collection; please read what dvgrn has said in this thread. (Oh wait, that was created by exactly you! Guess you have read through it before but just mentioning.)
I'm working thru and fixing them.Ian07 wrote: October 23rd, 2021, 2:12 pm I'll try to fix all of those pages at some point, but for now I've put them in a tracking category. (Note that user and/or talk pages should probably be left alone.)
his with MediaWiki.
I've gone through everything in that list, made edits to many of them, including replacing embedded rles with pnames. Those that remain on the list have one or more of a variety of issues beyond the scope of this effort.Ian07 wrote: October 23rd, 2021, 2:12 pm Yeah, this is one of the reasons that I prefer pname as opposed to rle.

I think it would help if the Talk:, User:, and LifeWiki: pages were not included in the list.Book wrote: October 26th, 2021, 4:19 pmI've gone through everything in that list, made edits to many of them, including replacing embedded rles with pnames.

much more manageable list nowIan07 wrote: October 26th, 2021, 5:40 pmTemplate has been updated to only include mainspace and OCA pages in the list.

Ok, there are only 27 articles left.
