The pointer starts at the dolar, then the first char is a lurd, so the pointer turns in the upper direction where there is nothing.

== PL/I vs PL/1 ==
Ian,
I don't really care, but changing my user page to correct "PL/1" to "PL/I" seems rather nit-picky to me. Especially when either usage is acceptable.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/computer-lang/pli-faq/
The Usenet newsgroup is, in fact, called "pl1". Answers.com allows for either.
Finally, the compiler I used at UMD was called @PL1 not @PLI.
Aren't there larger problems to be working on? Like, actually accomplishing some of the undone programming tasks?

Good to see you back, sir. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] ([[User talk:Mwn3d|talk]]) 17:22, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
== MSSQL v. Transact-SQL ==
[[MSSQL]] History reports you redirected MSSQL to Category:Transact-SQL. I don't use MSSQL, but I'm trying to understand Rosetta Code's structure.
<br />
<br />
As indicated, [[MSSQL]] redirects to [[:Category:Transact-SQL]]. Both have "/Omit", "examples needing attention", "Implementations", and "User" pages in the Category: namespace. I'm trying to determine if all the Category:MSSQL* pages should be redirected to the equivalent Category:Transact-SQL* pages.
<br />

:I don't recall why I made this redirect twelve years ago! I can only guess that I thought MS SQL and Transact-SQL were synonymous since they are both Microsoft variants on SQL. Please don't take me as any authority on the matter. --[[User:IanOsgood|IanOsgood]] ([[User talk:IanOsgood|talk]]) 17:48, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
::OK, you're not an authority on MSSQL v. Transact-SQL. How well do you understand Rosetta Code's copy of MediaWiki? If I were to replace, for instance, Category:MSSQL_User with a redirect to Category:Transact-SQL_User, would that change the result of LordMike's and Turtlezero's "My Favorite Languages" displayed list? --[[User:GarveyPatrickD|GarveyPatrickD]] ([[User talk:GarveyPatrickD|talk]]) 20:41, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
