    Default Wiki suggestion

    I think for the parts of the wiki such as oll where there are a bunch of cases people should be able to vote on the case they like best so when someone goes looking for and algorithm they can look at the more popular ones before the ones that may not be as fast.
    I don't cube much anymore.

    And what about people spamming random votes just for the heck of it? You know it'll happen.

    Maybe One vote per person but the freedom to change it whenever they want (because they have a new alg they like)?

    Fixed - check out this wiki extension that I've been working that does exactly that:

    Integration into the algorithm pages: http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vote


    Cube Ratings:
    3x3x3 - http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/ind...e=Cube_Ratings
    2x2x2 - http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/ind...2_Cube_Ratings
    Note - you can click on the stars to vote

    Also, you can view how it works here: http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/ind...tewStyleChoice
    Those aren't really instructions, but looking at the wiki code should give you an idea of how it works.

    The thing to know about the extension is that it doesn't work unless you are logged in, so you can use this account if you like:
    Username - Guest
    Password - rubik

    Patrick wants to add it, he is just busy with finals at the moment

    I would hate that. People should choose an algorithm because they like it, and shouldn't feel pressured into using an algorithm just because a lot of other people use it. They should give them all a chance.

    Maybe it's just me, but I always seem to overlook good algs and end up with bad ones until I figure out there's a better one weeks later.

    Agreed, hopefully my voting mech can fix that issue. There are just too many algs on the wiki for anyone besides the most dedicated or best cubers to satisfactorily test them out. The voting extension should make it so it is easy for everyone to cut straight to the cream of the crop. (http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vote)

    Also, I think it provides a pretty good way for us to democratically decide which cube is the most "popular". (http://andrew.theklises.com/wiki/ind...e=Cube_Ratings)

    Maybe we could have another column for OH algorithms? Where we can rate the algorithms that are good for OH solving.
