How i can fix it?

make an account on the wiki and click edit on that page

okey this is now edited, but not by me...

but i found another issue... *sry*

In the create an account process i had to put a confirmation code. The question was: "What is the current fastest single solve for 3x3 Rubik's Cube? See here to find answer" I tried typing in 5.55 cause that is the fastest, isnt it?
But that was wrong. The right answer was 5.66, the old fastest time... I dont think that i can edit this as well, so i write it here...

Seems like a variable that needs to be updated, or maybe the answer should be 4.41 (hides)

Why are number 2, 7 and 10 on the PBL page the exact same case?

Number 25 makes no sense at all.
Number 49-53 is just (Rotation) F2 R2 F2 (AUF).

2x2 PBL algorithm database needs cleaning up. Most of these are the same case with rotations, which could be written before the algorithm anyway(which most of them do). There should only be 5 cases + rotations, and each case could have a page with all those cases, instead of 50+ cases.

2x2 PBL algorithm database needs cleaning up....

y' r L u2 R' U' R u2 L' U r' 10 10 12 3

if small letters=rotations, the cube is back to solved when the alg is done

x L y2 R´U´R y2 L´U x´

Talking About This Page

y' r L u2 R' U' R u2 L' U r' 10 10 12 3

if small letters=rotations, the cube is back to solved when the alg is done

x L y2 R´U´R y2 L´U x´

I understand that. There are only 5 PBL cases for 2x2. Cases 6-56 are just the first 5 with various cube rotations. So instead of having 56 separate cases. There should be 5 PBL cases and subsections under that case for the rotations or compile the algorithms for each case in one list with appropriate cube rotations.

All cases should be from Yellow on top White on bottom perspective. You have the 5 cases Bar-Bar, Diagonal-diagonal, Bar- Diagonal, Bar, and Diagonal. If you include upsidedown cases, you have three more, bar or diagonal on bottom and a reverse bar-diagonal. So at the most only 8 cases are needed to show every algorithm, AUF are needed before and after each case, as well as cube rotations and they can be noted as such instead of making an entire case for a U AUF.

Example 1
Example 2 - List 9 moves as smalled when R2 F2 R2 AuF would solve.
Example 3 Worse case of example 2

These are a few of the most pointless cases to be listed. Cases 47-52 are the EXACT same case as case 1.

My point is that small letters should not be used to describe 2x2x2 algs. That's why I quoted your clean up remark.

When did i use small letters to describe them? I didn't. For example Case #8 is just case #3 with a y' cube rotation. Therefore, it should not be a separate case. Otherwise there would be over 60 different PLL cases for 3x3, if we continue to use the 2x2 database logic.

The external link addition security question has an incorrect answer.

Just thought I'd let y'all know =x

I've flagged this up, but I don't have the power to change it, it's at a higher level than even admin because its a very basic wiki feature, so I can't get to it.

The Alg database, isn't part of the wiki, and again, those of us on the wiki have no power over it unless it's been given separately. I agree that it does need to be cleared up a bit though.

Who is over it?

Also, the 2x2 page needs a link to the database, as well as the broken links removed. Most of the cubic puzzle pages have broken links.

Wiki Image Not Displayed

Hello, on the SpeedSolving Wiki the image for 'A Permutation : a' is not there, instead it's a long string of the code that may have an error in it. Not sure if this is an isolated incident in my case, but thought I would bring it to your attention.

Awesome glad I could help

Thanks, I fixed it (and I mentioned your username in the edit comment for pointing it out ). ( "}}" was missing after "|text=" for some reason).

EDIT:
It looks like wiki edtior Arnav singh deleted those }} by accident in his last edit. (Be careful and always preview your edits, Arnav singh).

Just out of curiosity what programming language do you guys use? I'm an aspiring computer geek and want to learn as much as I can. Sorry for this being off topic :/

If you mean for the wiki, its the standard mediaWiki Markup, used on Wikipedia etc. This is a good reference if you're interested in learning: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing

 

[pjk]

Just a heads up that I am aware that the wiki is down. Working on it.

 

[pjk]

Note that we have temporarily disabled editing until we resolve our current database issues. I will update once I re-enable it.

Edit: wiki is active and able to be edited again. Please let me know if you experience anymore issues.

Does anyone have issues with the thumbnails of all cases in the wiki?
Speedsolving Wiki

All the thumbnails show up all messed up, heres a screenshot i took:



It seems to look like this across all the cases, whether it is OLL, PLL or ZBLL.. Anyone else having the same issue?

I'm getting the same as you.

I'm getting the same as you.

Cool, the H perm is a PLL skip
