Although the site contains the page 'Category:BBC_BASIC' that language does not appear on the main Programming Languages page. How can that be resolved? --Richard Russell 09:28, 15 May 2011 (UTC) |

: Hm. [[:Category:BBC BASIC|BBC BASIC]] is marked as an implementation of [[:Category:BASIC|BASIC]]. If you use {{tmpl|Language}} instead of {{tmpl|implementation}} on [[:Category:BBC BASIC]], it would be removed from being listed as an implementation, and instead be listed as a language of its own. The distinction between language implementations and derivative languages is difficult to be objective about, and not entirely clear; that's why we wind up with strange data organization quirks like these. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 11:00, 15 May 2011 (UTC) |

:: I'm confused. If one looks at, for example, the [[:Category:Liberty BASIC]] page it also has {{tmpl|implementation}} yet that '''is''' indexed under [[:Category:Programming Languages]] as well as under [[:Category:Implementations]]. --Richard Russell 13:32, 15 May 2011 (UTC) |
