Something is broken on the wiki. I can't upload some images. I am getting errors like this:

Could not create directory "mwstore://local-backend/local-public/c/c0".

Also, there are two huge (>2MB) images uploaded by Pestvic that can't be deleted because they throw similar errors.

Your images have been uploaded fine, check the recent changes...
What are the images by pestvic, I'll try deleting them a bit later.

EDIT: I embedded the images in the wiki page you were making, so they should show up. If not, try clearing your browser cache. Also, why is one of them ParityPLLtwo.png instead of ParityPLL2 ? (just for organisational purposes. its messy :b)

No, you don't understand. I tried to upload images up to about #12 before I gave up. The ones you see are the only ones I could get to upload.

Because it was throwing an error like that when I called it ParityPLL2. I also tried some variations on the name. I could only get it to upload when I called it ParityPLLtwo. I also got an error when trying to rename it back to the proper name.
 
Hello how can I submit or publish my own forum here? I have a new formula to calculate the Rubic's cube permutations.

I had trouble loading images too. Renaming didn't help me either, unless I shortened the image name (some took several attempts). For the images that did upload but couldn't be added to the page, I uploaded a new/slightly modified version of those images (that is, I cropped a little off of one side of the image, and then I uploaded again so that it wouldn't complain that there is already an existing copy of the image file uploaded).

Speaking of which, for those who haven't looked at the 4x4x4 parity algorithms page recently, I have made a lot of changes in the order of things, added more algs., etc., and I have just successfully finished adding case images for all defined cases and general images for general cases. I've edited that page so many times! I hope that this was my last edit for the time being.
 
This is just an experiment, but I have just made a variation of Template:Alg mainly for the 4x4x4 parity algorithms page.

Let me know what you guys think. I mainly did this because many of the algorithms wrapped to the next line, and many were not that long movewise, just that WCA notation expanded the string length by a little to much to be on one line.

And, although I mention all of this and the following in the Template:Alg4 page,

now all move counts are in their own column instead of /(SQTM,STM) after the algorithms (which appeared in the applets too).
 
I just added another column for author name in the template, and I have given the author's name for all algorithms that I am pretty sure were the original founders or were credited for finding them at some point in time (more than 4 years ago). Algorithms that have been left with "author" means that either I did not find it by hand or using a solver (and I don't know who did) OR I did find it, but I wasn't positive (or I was positive) that I wasn't the first to actually find it.

For those who actually found these algorithms (especially in the PLL parity section), don't hesitate to give credit to your name, and if you've given it a name (which I doubt), then add that too. When I have "Alg_1" etc. for the name, that is only for organizational purposes, and that can be replaced with a real name, should it be your algorithm and you have named or wish to name it.

How does one go about editing/adding stuff to the Wiki? It bugs me that I have to visit Jessica Fridrich's website or the Probability thread every time I want to give the probability of an OLL/PLL case.

You register an account, and then the "edit" button will appear at the top of the page, above the heading.

Make an account on the wiki, since it's separate to the forum logins. Then choose the page you want to edit, and click edit while signed in. On the edit page there is a link on how to edit wiki markup if you're not already familiar with it.
Although, if we're adding probabilities to cases, it might be wise to go an edit the template. I'll look into doing that instead, might be a bit easier, but for now feel free to add it somewhere sensible.
 
Oh, by the way, I tried registering, and it only worked when I answered "What is the current fastest single solve for 3x3 Rubik's Cube?" as 5.66. Perhaps an admin could update that.

I've flagged the issue, we'll just have to wait for someone who is able to change it to do so.
 
Hello
I found a mistake in the OLL list:

The second c-shape OLL, the last algorithm:
This algorithm is wrong...
if you change the last F in a F' it would be the right one for the first c-shape....

I hope you can understand this gibberish.... :)
