"Click above to open LifeViewer"

Maybe the text should say "click above to open LifeViewer", or something along those lines? Either that or remove the LifeViewer link. Otherwise there's a temptation to click "LifeViewer", and then you get sent to a different page instead of opening the pattern you were looking at. Or am I just worrying too much? Other ideas?

You might be worrying more than strictly necessary, but it's always a good idea to be specific. Apple Bottom (talk) 09:26, 18 February 2018 (UTC)

I inserted nbsp's to avoid unwanted line breaking inside "(click above to open LifeViewer)". It seems to work correctly as far as I can tell. In articles that were last edited before this change, it may be necessary to purge cache (or edit the article) to ensure the change takes effect. Confocal (talk) 11:44, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

The links below the patterns are frequently broken.

They should link to

https://conwaylife.com/w/index.php?title=RLE:{{{pname}}}&action=raw

instead. Gzaytman (talk) 23:59, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

Are you perhaps discovering that the rle database does not update when an RLE is added to the namespace? This is a manual admin process only done periodically, thus rle links may appear to be broken. Book (talk) 17:06, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
I don't see the point of having a separate rle database. Gzaytman (talk) 20:24, 13 August 2022 (UTC)
