::::::So if my theory is correct, you should see the fallback image in a few hours. If not, something else is wrong. --[[User:AndiPersti|Andreas Perstinger]] ([[User talk:AndiPersti|talk]]) 19:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Something else is wrong. Math markup is failing on pages where it previously worked. This happens in Chrome, in Internet Explorer and in Safari (Firefox is the only browser where math markup works for me, on the two computers I tried). --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 15:10, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
==if we have successfully moved to the new task page==▼
:::::::: I noticed that the last change introduced a "cross product" symbol/glyph, but it does not render correctly (under Firefox Aurora or MS Internet Explorer). This has to do with the 3rd (and last example) in the task's preamble. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 18:42, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::: You could use the &<nowiki>times;</nowiki> symbol, it's not quite a large at the cross-product glyph, but it's more accurate. There is a similar character ⨯ at U+2A2F, but this is not always considered identical to U+00D7, as U+2A2F is intended to ''explicitly'' denote the [[cross product]] of two vectors (last sentence as quoted in full from Wiki: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplication_sign Multiplication sign]). I like the expression (for the exponentiation) 100<sup>2000</sup> or 100<sup>2,000</sup> better though. I.E.: X=2×100<sup>2,000</sup> or, for ease of reading: <big> X=2×100<sup>2,000</sup> </big> -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:30, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Can we delete "2001 Digits Of Root Two"? [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 22:29, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
: Did you want to include a suggestion about representing a lot of digits? Or is that now silly? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 21:55, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
:: I was hoping we could get rid of the previous draft task page called "2001 Digits Of Root Two". It would be a shame if it has to stay around forever. I do not know how to delete it myself. [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 23:24, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
::: That's not really an answer to that question. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 01:46, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
:::: Sorry. We could require more significant digits than is usually representable by floating point numbers if that is what you mean. You could change the task description if that seems like a good idea. I don't really know how we reach a consensus on such changes but it would definitely be okay with me. I believe the only affected solution would be the first Go language entry. [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 03:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
::::I made a change in the task description to, hopefully, address your concern but if there are still some problems then please let me know. [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 03:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
My original question is still outstanding. If it is impossible to remove a draft task then I will drop the issue. [[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 03:37, 16 May 2016 (UTC)
==Perl 6 example==
I tried running it here: https://ideone.com/PzMU1C
[[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 23:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
: The version of Perl 6 on IDEOne is ancient, pre-pre-alpha. For what it is worth, all that needs to change to make it work there is to expand the unicode sequence operator (…) in line 10 to its ASCII equivalent (...). See https://ideone.com/dUbfhi with the change applied. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 00:39, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
::I mentioned the out of date compiler version to IDEOne. They have promised to fix this issue. --[[User:Zelah|Zelah]] ([[User talk:Zelah|talk]]) 21:21, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
