LifeWiki updated
Hey folks,
Just letting you know that I updated the MediaWiki software from 1.16 to 1.23 (the latest stable release) today. It wasn't quite as smooth as I was expecting, and I suspect there will be a couple weirdnesses on the wiki over the next few days until I get everything sorted out. Please let me know of anything weird/glitchy/whatever that you see. Thanks!

Apparently wiki pages with embedded YouTube videos stopped working. E. g. caterpillar, lobster, Gemini.

Re: LifeWiki updated
After some tinkering today, I finally got the old-style wiki links (e.g., http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blinker) working again. But everyone please use the new-style short links (e.g., http://www.conwaylife.com/wiki/Blinker from now on

Glider syntheses stats on the main page are broken:
Code: Select all
Glider syntheses for {{#dpl:categorymatch=Patterns_that_can_be_constructed_with%|resultsheader=%TOTALPAGES%|format={{#if,:,,:|}}}} patterns.

Other category listings are similarly broken, such as "patterns found by ..." e.g. http://conwaylife.com/wiki/David_Bell
The 5S project (Smallest Spaceships Supporting Specific Speeds) is now maintained by AforAmpere. The latest collection is hosted on GitHub and contains well over 1,000,000 spaceships.

Re: LifeWiki updated
Thanks guys -- both of those problems are now fixed. They were both caused by changes in the way that the DynamicPageList extension works with the new version of MediaWiki. Unfortunately it seems that some more complicated pages that use DynamicPageList (e.g., the oscillator category page) are still broken and might not be easy to fix.
Edit: After looking around, it doesn't look like there is a reasonable fix for the oscillator search box. It was kinda hack-y anyway, so I've just removed it for now.

Re: LifeWiki updated
Yeah, unfortunately that pattern search box can't be easily fixed with the new version of MediaWiki... I'm not aware of a reasonably-functional alternative to the DynamicPageList extension, which was what made that search box (and the other search boxes, like the oscillator category page box) work.
