Use {{subst:}} for {{incorrect}} so talk:Siskus isn't on "Examples needing attention"; could use <nowiki> but I don't think that is what was intended

to ''here''. &nbsp; In the process of moving the text here, I think some of the signature tags' times have been updated. &nbsp; I also added one signature of mine where it wasn't obvious who was talking. &nbsp; Also, the original flagged ''incorrect'' had PARI/GL instead of PARI/GP, and both I and Walter Paschl responded to that original ''incorrect'' tag text. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:29, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Siskus, if you think REXX doesn't properly rank tied counts, show an example. (''signature added''.) -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:29, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't think your usage of [[:Category:Scala Implementations]] is correct. AIUI this category should be used for implementations of the language (e.g. a compiler or an interpreter; compare with e.g. [[:Category:C Implementations]] or [[:Category:Java Implementations]]). When you use the [[Template:Header|Header]] template (i.e. <code><nowiki>{{header|Scala}}</nowiki></code>) then all the necessary categories and properties to mark the solution as implemented in Scala are set automatically. So you don't need to add anything manually. --[[User:AndiPersti|Andreas Perstinger]] ([[User talk:AndiPersti|talk]]) 13:15, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
::This is yet another reason why you shouldn't blank your talk page without reading/discussing the items.
::I indepentantly noticed this and added [[Category_talk:Scala_Implementations]] and fixed some recent instances of this. &mdash;[[User:Dchapes|Dchapes]] ([[User talk:Dchapes|talk]]) 17:43, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

== Edits to <nowiki>pre</nowiki> blocks in output sections ==
 
Could you please stop replacing existing markup like this:
<pre>
{{out}}
<pre>
… program output here …
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
<&shy;/pre>
</pre>
with:
<pre>
{{out}}
… program output here …
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
</pre>
(avoiding <nowiki><pre></nowiki> by using leading space wiki formatting)
 
Although in some respects they are just different ways of doing the same thing,
the former is used here for a reason.
Namely, it allows trivial cut-n-paste of program output without further modifications
(unless it happens to contain &amp;; or <nowiki></pre></nowiki>).
Since the HTML produced by both is the same there is no benefit to avoiding <nowiki><pre></nowiki>.
However, since doing so makes it more difficult to update program output in the future, it does have a negative impact.
 
In general, making changes to ''existing'' markup that has no effect on the semantics of the HTML output should be avoided
(unless perhaps it's while making other useful changes ''to the same text'').
This would include some recent changes you've made to existing text changing only white space.
 
(Of course, things like changing "'''Output:'''" to "<nowiki>{{out}}</nowiki>" are different and fine since even if they currently produce the same output the template might change in the future.)
 
Thank you. &mdash;[[User:Dchapes|Dchapes]] ([[User talk:Dchapes|talk]]) 17:40, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
 
== Emphasis ==
 
You've been using a really ugly colouring for emphasis in tasks. Merely using <em><nowiki><em></nowiki></em> is enough; it looks better and it is much more semantically correct too. (It will usually get rendered as italics, but you can use a user-style to fix that if you prefer. Yet most won't.) –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] ([[User talk:Dkf|talk]]) 09:31, 7 September 2014 (UTC)
