Thanks. Although the subject of the issue mentions the diagram, that actually has the setting, but the crib contributed by Peter Price is missing it. So I am assigning this to Peter.

Heyho Peter, can you look into this and add the missing set? Question to all: are we able to change each others SCDDB cribs or does this not work? Don’t want to destroy anything, therefor not trying it out.

Hi Viktor. Technically any editor can update the text of cribs as that appears in the admin page for the dance. Usually though its best if the original author does the update. Sometimes if a contributed crib is wrong a member of the e-cribs team might provide an e-crib. In this case there is one already. I think on a very few rare occasions I have fixed a contributed crib if there is no response from its author.

I agree with Murrough that it is probably best for the original author of a crib to make changes. (In particular we don’t make changes to MiniCribs except in very dire circumstances, because these tend to get overwritten when a new version of MiniCrib is imported wholesale.)

As far as the “SCDDB contributed cribs” are concerned, I’m happy with deleting them (certainly the ones I wrote) if an e-crib appears that is substantially identical. The contributed-cribs mechanism is really more of a stopgap for dances that don’t have any cribs but you need one in a hurry.
