:: Thanks for pointing out my linking error. I have corrected it. (Funny that you'd think I was making it up rather than messing up the link!) I elaborate my reasoning pretty extensively on the linked page, and I'd be happy to add further details or clarifications here! Please ask if you have any questions! Either way, I look forward to your feedback. --[[User:Abathologist|Abathologist]] ([[User talk:Abathologist|talk]]) 09:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
::: I asked because I had never seen that page before, and was not familiar with it. But ok, it looks like you created it not too long ago. (So... it still sort of looks to me like you were making it up...)
::: That said, I agree with some of the sentiments you express there. And it's apparent that you put some thought into this and are trying to grapple with a real issue.
::: That said, I also have some sympathy for people interested in seeing intermediate results. Intermediate results, after all, are sometimes a valid thing to want to see.
::: So... my current impression is that this might be a task labelling issue as much as anything else: if the task is about requiring some sort of logging or tracing of an algorithm, it should be named that (to allow the unadorned name to be used for implementations of the unadorned algorithm).
::: I should probably wait for others to weigh in on this? (Assuming they notice and/or care.) Maybe the right place to start, though, would be to pick one particularly egregious example page, and split it into two copies - one with the logging requirements and the other without? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 17:26, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
