Talk:Rosetta Code/Count examples

The method of counting header template uses may still give an incorrect count of programming examples, but I think it's as close as we can get without getting unreasonably complex. For instance, we could count the number of start lang tags, but some examples use pre and some more still have one example split into sections with explanations. The method used for this task does not account for iterative and recursive solutions for one task, or splits like on the String Length page. What we end up with for the total across all tasks is the same as counting the members in each language category and subtracting the language implementations (which seems more complicated). --Mwn3d 19:30, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
