* 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. |

: I agree that there are practical limits, but I disagree that we've reached them, and e.g. [[Playing Cards/E]] (which is one of the examples [[User:Glennj]] split off) is surely not too long. Regarding “too long for ... editing”, are you referring to the automatic 32K notice Wikipedia puts up? As far as I know, we have lots of pages that long and no one's complained. I agree that length can be a technical and/or usability problem eventually, but I feel that we have not reached that point. --[[User:Kevin Reid|Kevin Reid]] 22:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC) |

::Some examples that have been separated are pretty short. Some others (like [[Arithmetic Evaluator/Ada]]) are obviously contributing a lot to a future problem. I hesitate to put a size requirement in bytes on examples that are too long since some take up a lot of space without being very large in bytes (like lots of [[Assembly]] examples). I'm not sure what the criteria could be except "it takes up too much space on the page". --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 03:01, 9 January 2010 (UTC) |
