: (4) As for language fragmentation in the task entries here - that's going to take some effort to resolve. But if it's worth doing it's worth spending some time on.
: Generally speaking, it's probably better to work with other people on efforts that lead in the direction you want to go, and then build on that... --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 04:26, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

The page in question isn't a dead-end page, it is pointed to (linked to) by those REXX entries that referenced (or, rather ''used'') that external routine. Even if stumbled upon, they could, of course, read the comments at the top of the page stating what that page is used for (or used by). They also could just click on the '''What links here''' at the bottom on almost all pages of this kind.
This doesn't work in this particular case because Rosetta Code says the file doesn't exist because it has been previously deleted. So now, I have a dead link because of the previous action mentioned (previously, above, that is, the deletion or renaming of the file). I left the situation alone for some time, and now, trying to correct all the broken links, those links are still broken. It seems that Rosetta Code (or some code) is getting in the way. The code appears to be a dead-end as all the previous links to that page are essentially,
going to a dead page that exists, but can't be linked to because of something that says that the file has been previously deleted. It is some weird catch-22 type of dead-link hell.
I'm not sure of the reasoning behind moving source code used on Rosetta Code to other Wikis, as this particular source code (program) already has two copies of the program (and still has broken links, but that is another issue to be resolved hopefully). Links to this particular REXX program say the file doesn't exist (because it has previously been deleted). It's not like the REXX program has no connection to Rosetta Code, indeed, it's invoked directly by several (other) Rosetta Code (REXX) programs (and has documentation that mentions/contain the links to this program). This is beginning to feel like I'm pushing a chain uphill. Everything was honky-dory until that REXX program (file/webpage) was deleted (and apparently, renamed in some manner).
As far as that organization is concerned, (and, as far as I know, you have to be a paying member to post/store things there), I have been mistreated by that organization and my some of my statements were taken out of context from a (familiar) private e-mail to a fellow REXXer (who happened to be a member) and misquoted (posted) there without my permission, and furthermore, my character, expertise and integrity has been slandered. Indeed, that treatment has spilled over into Rosetta Code at one time (within a particular talk page). In any case, I don't want to be any part of that organization for those reasons and others.
You mentioned language fragmentation. What is that exactly? Are you talking about the different dialects, versions, and/or capabilities of the various computer programming languages?
As for the direction that I want to go ... I never thought about a formal definition of it, but I just wanted to include (contained wholly on the Rosetta Code site) all (external) routines that are used (invoked) by any of the REXX programs that were written by me. To put it another way, if there is REXX code included on Rosetta Code that executes REXX code, then include that source on Rosetta Code as well, preferably on a separate and unique page to make perusing easier.
