First and foremost
For the sake of the printable versions, the template has changed

• To see the animation, click on the SS cube logo to the far left of the algorithm bars/rows/tables.
  
  

This template:

• Is meant for other big cube pages besides the 4x4x4 parity algorithms page... I have omitted the "wide" (Y/N) cell.

• Articles that motivated me to make this variation (at the time) were ZZ44 Method and 4Z4_method.
• I would have named this Alg4, but I already created a template named Alg4 in the past (which was used in very old revisions of the 4x4x4 parity algorithms page). Therefore, to preserve revision history of that page, instead of overwritten that templates code, I made this template variant.

• Is a derivative work/variation of "Template:Alg".

• It's nearly the same as "Template:Alg5", but it has dark-theme colors to match the new dark theme of the 4x4x4 parity algorithms page (which on this date was still in progress).

• Was specifically created for long algorithms for the 4x4x4 cube so that they wouldn't wrap to the next line and increase the length of the page unnecessarily. In addition, a new column for move count (BQTM,BHTM) has been added, and it is optional to add a name to an algorithm, should it have one.

Example 1
Assuming that you already know the syntax for Template:Alg, then if you want to link the algorithm, r2 B2 U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 F2 r F2 l' B2 r2, to alpha.twizzle.net using this template.

Old Standard Alg

Since the current incarnation of alg.cubing.net (as of the date of this edit) does not support Old WCA notation (where lower case letters represent inner slice turns, and Rw = (Rr), for example) and the majority of cubers who can read notation have a much easier time reading Old WCA, one can see above that the algorithm is displayed in Old WCA notation but is linked to alg.cubing.net via the move count slot in the algorithm template.

• Note that the url parameter is for providing readers a forum post, video link, etc., of where to find the original (or one of the original) locations an algorithm was popularized--or better yet--first published.

• To use this template, one must write an algorithm in Old WCA notation and SiGN notation in their respective parameters and must supply a move count ordered pair. Any of the other parameters may be left blank.
