SMTP server does not send out emails!

• While registering I encountered this error:
  • LifeWiki could not send your confirmation mail. Please check your email address for invalid characters.
  • Mailer returned: SMTP server response: 554 5.7.1 <YYY>: Relay access denied
    • P.S. YYY was my correct email I used, hidden against spammers now
  • also when trying to resend confirmation code again from preferences [1]
  • Do you guys have this also? If so, would be good to fix this so I may get changes by mail. Thanks, --Erkan Yilmaz 21:32, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for reporting this... not sure what the problem is, but I'm experiencing it as well. Will let you know once it's fixed. Nathaniel 21:42, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Interested in application Game of Life applied in the context of mediawiki?

• Is anyone of you interested in this application for mediawiki?
  • it is a (finite!) 10x10 toroidal model of the game of Life by:
    • pressing the "edit" button on the top of the page and
    • then just the "Save page" button below the editing window.
  • example picture here, further info here, --Erkan Yilmaz 21:56, 20 September 2010 (UTC)

Categorization by symmetry

Hello folks. I feel this would be a good addition to the wiki. I see there's one for glide-reflectiv spaceships alreddy; I've started a few others (see Category:Patterns with (symmetry)). Some further thoughts and questions:

• I'm going to assume from the current categorization standards that even if someone wants to start symmetry categories by type (eg. "Oscillators with D4 symmetry"), the patterns shall still go into the main categories (eg. Category:Patterns with D4 symmetry) as well.
• Patterns with D1 or D2 symmetry could perhaps be separated into orthogonal and diagonal subgroups?
• How should glide-symmetry in oscillators be indicated? It can occur on top of other symmetries - frex tumbler has only D1 symmetry at any one phase, but it also has a perpendicular glide reflection axis. I considered ad-hoccing it with stuff like "D2G" for that kind of symmetry, but it fails to distinguish between a tumbler-type symmetry (which adds a glide reflection and a glide rotation to a plain reflection) vs. bipole-type symmetry (which adds two glide reflections to a plain rotation).
• Also, it seems like patterns have most of their categories encoded in the pattern template; should I hold back on excess categorization before there's a consensus on if this is going to be added there too?

Sparkers

A list or category of these would be handy. --Tropylium 09:06, 8 September 2011 (CDT)

OK, table in the works. User:Tropylium/Table of sparkers --08:08, 20 September 2011 (CDT)

A FAQ

I've been exploring and noticed the LifeWiki didn't have a FAQ, and I think it could use one. --AndTheTopCatHat44 7:39PM, 11/15/2015 A.D.
