[[User:Gerard Schildberger]], the list is "popularity", per the title. The criteria may have been better worded, as always, but what's expected is a measure of "popularity". As the 2013 discussion points out, the subcategory names shouldn't be included as they don't measure popularity. What the person who wrote the criteria meant when they said "members" was obviously "implementations". Otherwise, what is this list of? Not popularity. There is a contradiction, the title says one thing and the criteria another, so we have to judge what was meant, "popularity" of languages was clearly the intention. -- [[User:3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9|3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9]] ([[User talk:3havj7t3nps8z8wij3g9|talk]]) 01:42, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

: Even so, I took the ('''original''') task's description/requirements from the task, not it's discussion/talk page, or for that matter, some expectation.   I would have expected that the task's requirements and/or description would be discussed first (at least by the original author of the Rosetta Code task) before it was changed.   The task still states (and implies) that popularity is based on the number of members in (from) the category page, and I used (for the REXX version) the   ''languages''   page to filter out the non-language entries from the category page.   That may not be what some expectations are, but that is what I used when I entered the REXX language entry.   I don't use the ''title'' for a task's requirement, only the task's (requirements) text. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 02:14, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
