: Hm. [[:Category:BBC BASIC|BBC BASIC]] is marked as an implementation of [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]]. If you use {{tmpl|Language}} instead of {{tmpl|implementation}} on [[:Category:BBC BASIC]], it would be removed from being listed as an implementation, and instead be listed as a language of its own. The distinction between language implementations and derivative languages is difficult to be objective about, and not entirely clear; that's why we wind up with strange data organization quirks like these. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 11:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
:: I'm confused. If one looks at, for example, the [[:Category:Liberty BASIC]] page it also has {{tmpl|implementation}} yet that '''is''' indexed under [[:Category:Programming Languages]] as well as under [[:Category:Implementations]]. --Richard Russell 13:32, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
::: That's because [[:Category:Liberty BASIC]] has both {{tmpl|implementation}} and {{tmpl|

What could (some)one do so that these languages appear under the capital M? --[[User:Walterpachl|Walterpachl]] ([[User talk:Walterpachl|talk]]) 13:35, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

: The '''M''' in the '''MC++''' is really a Greek micro ('''µ''') which has been translated/transcribed to a Latin '''M''' somewhere along the way by something along the way, and where does one sort a Greek micro among a Latin alphabet?
: The '''MK''' in the '''MK-61/52''' is really a Cyrillic ('''МК''') ... (like above).
: For a little more information, see the comments in the REXX (language) section header. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 22:41, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
:: I understand that, but in other pages MK... finds is proper place among the other M's. See, e.g..

::: Well, I can't speak for Wiki (or whatever is formatting all this (and that), but for what I can tell (or remember), the first foray by MK-61/52 may have used Cyrillic or some other font which may have sorted correctly, and then appeared to use a meta-tag or whatever. I know about this as much as I know about beekeeping. Not a hill of beans. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:17, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
::: Also, the sorting code that arranges the category lists may be a different sort program (or a different algorithm) that sorts the list of languages for entries under a Rosetta Code task (just stumbling around in the dark). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 23:23, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
== adding a language ==
I want to add an entry to 99 bottles of beer on the wall, in Small Basic.
I think I need to add the Small Basic language first but don't know how.
