Welcome to LifeWiki!

Welcome to LifeWiki! You may find pages LifeWiki:Editor pages and LifeWiki:Policies and guidelines helpful to get started.

It seems that you are creating many short pages about different rules, with each page having only a single line that says "This rule is a Life-like cellular automaton". I would suggest to try to gather information about a rule that would suffice to write at least a few more sentences, before creating a page about the rule. That way, it would be easier to see that there is indeed something interesting to say about the rule (see also LifeWiki:Notability).

I'd agree that pages about many interesting subjects are currently missing from LifeWiki, but very short pages containing only one of two sentences are likely to be deleted. If there is very little to say about a rule, it might be better to avoid creating a separate page for it. Confocal (talk) 17:23, 26 November 2022 (UTC)

Yeah, please slow down a bit. Before you have gathered sufficiently abundant material for a cellular automaton to back it up as meeting the notability criteria, it is fine to leave it as a red link entry with minimal description on the List of Life-like cellular automata page. Hasty stub page creation is adding work loads to other LifeWiki editors, whether they volunteer to collect more data or decide to abandon unfinished projects. See OCA:Coral and OCA:Vote for example where others have put in considerable efforts for improvement. (They still get a stub notice; compare their depth to more completed articles like OCA:Day & Night and OCA:HighLife.) GUYTU6J (talk) 17:26, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
