::: From our perspective, the main issue is just that it appears to be something that is mainly of interest within the context of, ''first'', solving a sudoku, and ''second'', using REXX. There's no problem at all with putting such longer solutions on their own page (and other languages do this too), but (we believe) it should be turned into a child page of the [[Sudoku]] task rather than being an apparent-orphan. Where there's a general larger principle of REXX being demonstrated — there might or might not be, I don't know REXX at all so I'm not best qualified to comment on that — then that could be done as a child page of the [[REXX]] page (though I think it can't be a child of the Category page for ugly-technical reasons). There's also the possibility that any such general principles might lead to their own tasks if they mean something in other languages too, but that's something for discussion in the appropriate [[Rosetta Code:Village Pump/Suggest a programming task|Village Pump pages]]. After all, that's the proper place for that discussion. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 22:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 
:::: I'm not quite fully appreciating what you mean by a ''child-page''.   In the REXX example under '''Number names''' task, there is a thingy that is (or looks like) '''< Number names '''       ----- but I can't see how that is done, another one of those things that remain hidden to me (if I can't view it, I can't learn how to use it), but it's a good way to un-orphan it --- er, I mean, show who the parent is. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 23:43, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 
::: Also, looking below I'd note that such diagrams don't work too well here; the fonts across different browsers are just too variable, alas. An image of how it should look, as grabbed on your system (and trimming any extra stuff like window borders) actually works much better. –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 22:59, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
 
:::: Are you saying that it won't be rendered true in the same font as I cut-and-pasted it?   Is it dependent upon the type of font that you have on your (viewing) computer?   That would make it very exasperating to show anything in that case (especially boxes), I had assumed that if I used a fixed font, it would show up as a fixed font for whoever viewed it. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 23:43, 31 January 2013 (UTC)
