Every wiki sequence page could be a redirect page

Every wiki sequence page could be a redirect page to the oeis.org/Axxxxxx sequence page; this would allow to rebuild all the sequences categorizations in the wiki, hopefully from the backup of the former wiki sequence pages. I made the test page A000001 (note that the redirect is not automatic, though.)

The wiki sequence pages could be in edit draft mode to make sure that they contain only a redirect to oeis.org/Axxxxxx and categories.

Yes, I think we should consider this. It's been a lot of work to fix all the wikilinks in my workspaces that got deleted in the changeover. Jon Awbrey 15:22, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Items to be deleted by Editors

Since I am not an Associate Editor, I cannot delete any OEIS Wiki pages. But to facilitate the maintenance of the wiki by the Editors, I created quite some time ago the template Template:Discarded which requests for the deletion of the item (page, category, ...) and automatically categorizes the item in Category:Discarded items for convenience. — Daniel Forgues 05:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

{{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words in Template namespace

The {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words currently don't work properly in the Template namespace. (see the {{test}} template) It think the $wgNamespacesWithSubpages wiki global variable is currently set to its default value (which doesn't enable subpages in the Template namespace)

The {{BASEPAGENAME}} and {{SUBPAGENAME}} magic words only work in namespaces that have subpages enabled. See Manual:$wgNamespacesWithSubpages—MediaWiki.org. for information on enabling subpages.

The {{documentation subpage}} template currently doesn't work in the Template namespace because of this issue. — Daniel Forgues 01:11, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

The problem has been fixed long ago. — Daniel Forgues 03:46, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear N. J. A. Sloane

Dear Professor I received a warning from you containing some point.

I have respected these points and ensure you I will respect them strictly.

However it was strange that the warning was written and sent (he said on your behalf, and that he wrote it for you) by the Editor Charles R Greathouse IV with whom I have an actual Editorial Conflict.

Please can you clear this to my modest person.

Sincerely

PS. You can see the conflict summary <edited before your warning> here .

Open problem (Invitation):

Given an integer N>0, and after been found all the first N! terms of A217626, you were asked find either a function or algorithm which counts the number of different "trivial" palindromic patterns that could be built from these terms.

For example:

[1,9,2,9,1] is a "trivial" palindromic pattern.

But

[2,18,4,18,2] is not trivial, until it is re-written it as: [2,2*9,4,9*2,2]

So the "triviality" of such kind of patterns depends on the prime factorization of their components. Such behavior can not be reproduced by the prime numbers.

I can not spot it yet "the how", but the study of this matter might have deep implications in the number theory. (These patterns teach us how to build odd numbers in a similar way as what described by the Goldbach's Conjecture for the even numbers).

If you decide to face this friendly challenge,

Good Luck!!!

Sincerely, with regards:

Tooltips with sequence names in OEIS Wiki

I implemented a demo (for up to A000999) of tooltips with sequence names (in the wiki) with the {{sequence}} template. The thing is, for 200000 sequences, it takes 200 tables (1000 sequences per table)... (Starting with http://oeis.org/names.gz we use slices of 1000 sequence names, then some editing is required.) Also, if we want to use it, we would have to ask Russ Cox to modify the script concerning the A-numbers to invoke the template.

For example

{{sequence|A000795}} or {{seq|A000795}} (for short)

yields

A000795
