WRC (@thewca/wrc-team) should be involved here.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Delegates often find themselves in the situation where a competitor asks them about rotations during Fewest Moves attempts, and sometimes they don't know if it is OK to answer such questions (hopefully this should be clear now with the current version of the Regulations). Competitors are often unsure about rotations.

Describe the solution you'd like

Show information about the notation of rotations in the same sheet of paper. Something like "x = R" or "x is like an R (or L') turn".

Personally, I remain strongly in favor of removing rotations entirely. This would solve several problems, such as this one.

It would be reasonable to start the discussion on the WCA forum with maybe a poll (keep as is/remove all/add clarifications), IMO the community's opinion should be heard.

I believe that after the discussion on Issue #757, which Lucas cited above, the opinion seems to have remained unchanged. Assuming such notation is here to stay for the foreseeable future (or at least for a while), we should definitely work on making the information clearer for competitors (who might've forgotten how xyz worked... that would be rough... I mean RUF 😅). I think an extra piece of paper would go a long way to reduce unnecessary communication between the competitor in question and the delegate overseeing the FMC event (which caused the aforementioned ambiguity regarding legality).
