Kinda messy

I just wanted to use RC to check whether Python has a "while"-type statement and what the syntax is. I figured this would be the place to start looking. As far as I can tell, it is not. The closest I came was going through "Basic language learning" which gets me to a sub-category "control structures" in the task description of which I find a link to "loop structures" which informs me that it is a "former task" and that I should now look for "Iteration" tasks. Which, in turn, do not appear to exist, or at least not on this page or on a page linked from here. To me, at least, this all looks confused and disorganized. Sgeier 23:02, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Nothing is perfect, but my path was: Basic Language Learning → Iteration → Loop/While. While, for and so on are "control structures", but first they are iterations; so the old path gave you to Flow Control Structures, which points to Loop Structures, which was the page holding loop structures in general, it is kept since some iterations still might be uncategorized (if you look at Iteration, you see Loop/While, Loop/For and similar... not all Loop Structures fit those categories) or code still need to be moved. It's a wiki, nothing happens automagically. --ShinTakezou 09:07, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
