==Automation Candidates==
Any process with a straightforward procedure likely has a programmatic solution, or at least a means to be accelerated programmatically, either via clever usages of templates, page transclusion, a MediaWiki extension, JavaScript, or a bot.
* Anything in the language comparison table should be reflected in the relevant language page. Additionally, everything in [[:Category:Programming_Languages]] should be reflected in the LCT. This includes:
**[[Template:Language|Language template]] parameters
**[[Programming paradigm]]s
**[[Template:Anchor|HTML anchors]] in the LCT
* Rather than having pages such as [[Perl]] redirect to [[:Category:Perl]], it might be worthwhile to have [[Perl]] (or any other language) as its own page with highlights, and a link to [[:Category:Perl]] for a list of all of the examples in that language. Updated daily. Highlights might include the ten pages in [[:Category:Perl]] with the most views, the ten pages in the language's category with most languages, and listings of the category's subcategories. (Currently including users, implementations and libraries of the language, but may expand in the future.) Might also include a listing of languages related by some characteristic of the LCT, etc. (It might be amusing to try to rank a language's similarity with other languages by how many common characteristics it has in the LCT. This has the double benefit of allowing us to gauge the effectiveness of the LCT for comparison purposes.)
** This breaks down into several components (Each of these might be part of, say [[:Category:Common Language Highlights]], and could be included based on presence in that category):
Line 31 ⟶ 34:
*** Weekly update of a page for each member of [[:Category:Programming Languages]] for each of the above.
** Daily updates should be staggered throughout the day; The list of languages to process for should be retrieved daily, and the next day's work scheduled and divided evenly over the day to avoid spiking server usage. (With 142 languages, this works out to one language every ten minutes.)
==Tasks Awaiting Discussion==
These tasks have been disputed or change to them has been discussed in some way, but nothing (or not much) has been done about it. They need to be discussed and/or action needs to be taken accordingly.
