(Sub-pages WERE being counted twice (in many cases))

::::EDIT: ADDED LATER: As it turns out, I was wrong. Many of the sub-pages WERE being counted twice (or more!). I have gone through and checked all of the top 60 languages and fixed the markup to not be counted twice. There may be other sub pages that need fixing but I am out of time and energy for the moment. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 16:43, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

::::: Thundergnat:   you've changed (at least) one REXX entry to that new thingy format,   (it was an "entry" under a page for solving a sudoku puzzle)   of the "entry" form of:
:::::::::: <big><big> <nowiki> === REXX ... === </nowiki> </big></big> &nbsp; &nbsp; and was &nbsp; ''not'' &nbsp; of the form:
:::::::::: <big><big> <nowiki> == REXX ... == </nowiki> </big></big> &nbsp; &nbsp; which I believe is the form that you are interested in changing.
::::: By the way, there was one more entry on that page that you missed. &nbsp; Also, the spelling of REXX is '''REXX''', &nbsp; not '''Rexx'''. &nbsp; Some people in past have used the other spelling, and at that time, it was miscounted &nbsp; (at least, in the sense that it was &nbsp; ''not'' &nbsp; counted under the '''REXX''' computer programming language). &nbsp; I corrected those (two) misspellings, and they were not easy to find. &nbsp; Those misspellings did show up under the '''Rexx''' programming language (or maybe a ''category'') &nbsp; somewhere, &nbsp; and they proved (at that time) difficult to locate and change as there wasn't a place for them be to listed. &nbsp; I had since changed my REXX program &nbsp; (used to count computer programming language entries as per the Rosetta Code task: &nbsp; ''Rank languages by popularity'') &nbsp; to allow a lowercase or mixed-case spelling to be considered the same programming language. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:39, 18 January 2020 (UTC)


:::: It looks like promoting [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Reflection/List_methods Reflection/List methods]] to a full task has solved the problem as it's no longer showing up on the draft task list. With both [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Fivenum FiveNum]] and [[https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Mutex Mutex]] fixed too, all should now be well :) --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 00:54, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
