: By the way, there are '''4,271273''' entries for the various BASIC's.   That's a lot of consolidation to be done (if we went that direction),   and that's not counting if any of those have multiple versions of the solution/entries.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 15:04, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

: The other thing is that we have a hodge-podge way of treating the "family" of '''BASIC''' languages (and soon, I think, of other families, with very strong dissensions),   some BASIC entries are all individual,   a few places have it under one "roof", still others have it   ''both''   ways   (under the '''BASIC''' umbrella, and another entry in their own name/entry).   This is, as they say, over my pay grade, but I would hope an Rosetta Code administrator (or the founder) would step in and make a determination and/or decision.   Once you go down this path (of grouping), where will it end? Group ALGOLs, esoteric languages, LISPs, and so on.   Right now, I believe '''BASIC''' is only the language(s) that is thusly sub-divided   (well, at least, in part, that is),  and my preference is to keep them separated as it is easier to find a particular language, rather than force a user to hunt around trying to find what "category" a language is in,   but in this case, it would be obvious   (because probably all of the "BASICs" have the word '''BASIC''' in their name --- oops, I forgot about '''Tbas''' and '''VBA''').   A while back, someone else started doing this thing with the BASIC languages, and, as I recall, that project was never finished/completed.   Once we start grouping computer programming language into "families" or some such grouping, there will be animated and heated discussions about why language '''xxx''' should be in the same family as '''yyy''', and that could/would breed discord amongst us all.     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 13:58, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
