Recently, examples have been moved to subpages of tasks (ex: [[Closest pair problem]] and [[Closest pair problem/SmallTalk]]). The reasons for this are so that pages don't get too long for some browsers to open when editing and so that the server won't get overloaded if one of these tasks becomes popular (bandwidth may also be a concern). It has been pointed out that this solution may be counter-productive to the goals of the site. This idea and possible alternate solutions should be discussed here. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 21:44, 8 January 2010 (UTC)▼

* The “requirement” I have in mind is: that no effort should be needed for one to be exposed to examples in ''all'' languages while browsing a task. As far as I know, the most efficient way to do this is to have all the examples on one page.
