Start of Sequence

In example output might be best shown as '1' rather than the '11' of some examples? --Paddy3118 06:01, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

You mean, every example should show the "generator" '1', instead of starting with '11'? --ShinTakezou 11:35, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, the WP article starts from 1 and it just seems more natural to me. It wouldn't be a big fix to those language examples that give sample output. --Paddy3118 11:42, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

AutoHotkey / Untested Examples

Should we allow untested examples? There is always the stupid error that may creep in which makes an example that hasn't even been run too prone to error.
Unless the comment means "untested, but I am about to test it now", then maybe contributors should refrain from adding code that even they are so unsure of?
It would be courteous to run code for a task of this complexity, (although the task is not complex), and check it gives some of the results required. --Paddy3118 06:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

All these untested examples of mine are from computers that can't run the program. Problem is, I generally forget. I do add {{untested|language}}, though. I'm not "so unsure" of it, I think it'll work, but I haven't tried it.
