Esolang talk:Help

I disagree with calling it External resource when only one link is present. I think it should always be called External resources. This will look more consistent, and avoid problems when people forget to add the s when adding a second link. --Rune 11:51, 11 Jun 2005 (GMT)


 * Hm, "external resource" headlining a list of two links doesn't look wrong to you? That sort of problem stands out to me. It's not a big deal -- just fix it if you happen to notice it's wrong. Like a missing comma. --Graue 12:19, 11 Jun 2005 (GMT)


 * "External resource" headlining a list of two links looks wrong, but I don't think that's what Rune said - it's that "External resources" headlining a list of one link looks OK, and is preferable from a consistency standpoint. (I would agree btw) --Chris Pressey 17:32, 12 Jun 2005 (GMT)


 * Fair enough. My point was that "External resource" headlining a list of two links looks wrong and is therefore easy to spot (for me). We can just use "resources" consistently though. --Graue 18:12, 12 Jun 2005 (GMT)

Creating categories
"Categories are discussed at Esolang:Categorization. Please don't make a new category without discussing it at that category's talk page first."
 * So one is meant to start a discussion at Category talk:Yellow languages before creating Category:Yellow languages? Seems counter-intuitive.  Normally talk pages belong to articles that already exist.  Do many people here subscribe to the recent changes feed or any other that mean they will actually see it?

 * Most active talkers in the IRC channel read recent changes once every day or so, or at least that's the impression I get. I agree it's awkward; everyone seems to use Esolang talk:Categorization in practice. —ehird 00:45, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * At least two admins check every change, and probably a bunch of non-admins too. (That said, Esolang talk:Categorization is not only the usual place to discuss them, but the place mentioned in the policy, so should probably be mentioned in the help page too.) --ais523 01:12, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
