Delete? Is this task meant to be serious or someone's idea of a mickey-take? The link to Bobby tables takes me to a wiki explaining comics. Clearly this rc contributor's input is not to be trusted--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 13:50, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
:Not too fussed. I think it is mildly interesting that sometimes you have to sanitize your own source code in much the same way as user input, but otherwise I agree this is "not a task". Delete or "orphan" by removing the <nowiki>{{draft task}}</nowiki> tag would both be fine by me. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 14:20, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
:OK, I've gone ahead and removed "task", we'll see what portals to hell open up for me. As I said I'm fine with this being on rc, as a mildly interesting diversion/discussion, but it does not qualify as a task. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 10:31, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
:: If Thundergnat is agreeable, might as well just delete it as there's not much point in leaving orphaned stuff around. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 13:32, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
:::It ''can'' still be found by typing sanitize into the search box.... --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 16:36, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
::::Well I suppose it can, though if no more solutions are added, it's not going to be very illuminating.
::::It's a pity that the author hasn't tied down the task a bit more - he has added some clarification but it didn't help much - and also provided an example, preferably in a language other than assembler. It's not easy to come up with ideas for new tasks and it's a shame when people are put off from trying their hand at this. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 18:53, 11 September 2021 (UTC)
:::::Well, the author has responded to at least some of the criticisms and it seems to me that the requirements are now clear enough for folks to tackle it in a meaningful way. I suggest therefore that its 'draft task' status should be restored. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 19:24, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
::Restored 'draft task' status since this was appearing in and messing up the completed tasks count for Phix and no doubt others. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 10:22, 13 December 2021 (UTC)
