Welcome to LifeWiki

Welcome to LifeWiki!
You added the name "Drironlife" to the list of Life-like rules; can you link to forum posts or web pages where this rule is given this name? I could not find this name on the forum, and the Catagolue page for the rule does not display a name, either. For now I'm going to remove the name from the list. As a rule of thumb, you should not document new terminology before other people actually start using that terminology in their posts -- and in case if it is you who invented the terminology, it is best to let other people to document it, rather than adding it yourself.
I suggest that you read LifeWiki:Editor pages and LifeWiki:Policies and guidelines -- these pages answer some common questions.
If you have further questions related to how LifeWiki works, feel free to ask them on the forum in Thread for your website-related questions. Confocal (talk) 11:59, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

"Heliacal Sun"

Hello! Here are two issues with this page: one, the pages with an RLE prefix is supposed to contain an RLE only, and the template stuff does not work; two, more importantly, this small object has been known since 1997. Go to OCA:Day_&_Night#External_links, click on the first link to download a file named DayNight.zip, unzip, and in the resulting .txt check Figure 31 under the SIMPLE OSCILLATORS section for the fifth period-5 (which shortens to "p5", not "p/5", by the way) oscillator.

"[Finding] at least one or two Spaceships, Oscillators or Still-life" can be exciting, but it is necessary to take some time prior to that to familiarize yourself with what is and isn't already known. Claiming discovery of a pattern without community confirming that it is genuinely new is inappropriate. When something is found, please post it on the forums or discord first instead of drop it on LifeWiki. GUYTU6J (talk) 12:53, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
