Yes, this is a known issue due to the server IP. Will resolve on the next update.

Hey I just created an account on the speedsolving wiki and I would like to contribute. I have major experience in wiki editing (I'm admin on Civilization Wiki).
First thing I would like to contribute to is to unify images for alg cases. Is there any reason why we can't use visual cube from Lucas Garron? Static images are harder to maintain and there are tousands of them (plus mostly uncategorized).
Thanks for answers

Welcome to the Speedsolving Wiki! It's great to have someone here with experience, the wiki really needs more editors like that.
On the issue about images, do you mean VisualCube by Conrad Rider? Because Lucas Garron has done quite a lot of useful programming, especially for cubing.js, but I don't think that he made any image generator, at least not one which would be easily embeddable into the wiki.
Assuming that you mean Conrad Rider's VisualCube, I definitely like your idea. Unused, uncategorized or missing images have always been a problem, replacing them with VisualCube links is definitely a good idea. I think the main reason as to why this hasn't been done yet is just that firstly, no one really had that idea before and secondly, it's a lot of work to remove all the images. There are thousands of images and it's a huge effort to replace all of those with the VisualCube links. (I do have image links for some, but that's only the few pages I added myself.) I'm definitely for doing that, especially for all new cube images added in the future, but the porting process will take a long time for sure.

If links are used, we have to hope that they all still work if something changes. Some of my old development posts here on the forum have issues loading the VisualCube image links. If everything on the wiki is changed to links and something goes wrong, that would be a lot of links to fix or we would need some kind of system for fixing everything at once.

I meant Conrad Rider, sorry for the mistake. Maybe it would be possible to put the visual cube code on the speedsolving wiki server to not be dependant on external site stability?
And yes, I imagine that the process of replacing the images will be tedious (this is a perfect task for a bot though, but i dont have a bot account on this wiki). Maybe I could first do something else like categorization, infoboxes, nav boxes?

If you all do this, please do not touch the images on the 4x4x4 parity algorithms wiki page. There are several images in there which cannot be generated with visual cube. (They are more detailed and/or labelled in a way which Visual Cube does not do.) And although it appears that the images which look like last layer view on there were generated from Visual Cube, they were not. I colored those manually. But I guess those could be replaced with links to Visual Cube (since they look very similar to what Visual Cube outputs), but just to be safe, please don't touch any of the images on that page.
Thanks!
Thanks!

If you use visualcube then the results should all be cached. Otherwise you'll be using server processing any time anyone wants to load any image.

Just created a speedsolving wiki account and for the life of me, I could not figure out how to create a page for our team's atropos method. Could someone assist me and tell me how to create a page?

I don't know. I can't even confirm my email. (the real reason I am writing this is to call you mike)

Just type Atropos into the search bar. It will then say that it can't find a page called that and ask you if you want to create a page. Then you can copy the contents of another method's page and use that as a template.

I see that in the algdb we already use visual cube that is deployed on the speedsolving wiki server, for example this one:
Do you think animated simulators would be more meaningful/useful to the end user than static images?
If not, please ignore the rest of this post.
If yes, let me tell you that I was thinking about replacing some images with simulators since 2015 on the wiki (but actually never did that mainly from 2 reasons)....
As for 2x2x2 - 6x6x6 cubes (and Supercubes), I personally would love to see AnimCubeJS on some wiki pages instead of (or together with) images.
Some concerns are not a problem for AnimCubeJS, including:
- easily embeddable into the wiki (I suppose)
- possibility to put the code on the speedsolving wiki server to not be dependant on external site stability
- the results should all be cached

Hi, I think the fung and anti-fung icons are messed up in the OLL Wiki!?
Can somebody fix that, I was using the icons for a training sheet then I saw this...
Pretty sure
...lol

personally I don't like how the diagrams look with the florian holes. I like the traditional visualcube diagrams more

you know what I was curious so I looked into exactly when the images were changedBut did the visualcube get the fung right...lol
which appears to have been all done in September 24-25 2020 by @ArbishAli for whatever reason.
you can see the old diagrams (which weren't made by visualcube I think) for Fung and anti Fung were correct
