To potentially include

In my Catagolue perusals, I found another p4 that had been named Jack in this commit (by apg on behalf of hotdogPi) to the internal pattern names, but is not Jack. I renamed it to lightweight other jack, due to it being in a family including what I named midweight other jack and heavyweight other jack. However, I then came upon this thing with the same centre as the midweight one (but supported by beehives (mutually stabilising objects that become mold in some phases) that suppress its sparks), this one with the same as the heavyweight, this one which is one cell larger still (and is the first one to have a spark (that of the MWSS), albeit inaccessible), and finally this one (with a HWSS spark). Should the beehive mold ones have names given also? Being that there are none named Jill either here or on Catagolue, I think it would be quite whimsical if these were.

the other Jacks (and prospective Jills) in the phase with the centres

Being that they are not very useful, should they have articles about them? Similarly low-period billiard table oscillators (that also don't provide sparks) are documented here, but I suppose that's in part due to their historical significance, whereas these may be too much of a combination of recent and useless. (Each of the other Jacks have been known for long enough enough to have appeared on ror_stdin and such and have empty attribute pages, but all of the Jills first occurred seminaturally in Charity Engine soups, though the heavyweight one has a ror_stdin_test occurrence and an anonymous comment from 2018-02-19 saying "Interesting..." (I'm not sure whether this counts), thank you for your time :-) DroneBetter (talk) 12:27, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
