"not enough is bad", but also: "Do not write code that needs comments."<br>
The good '''rule of thumb''' in this case is following: If function (method, etc.) is 5-10 lines of code or less then describe briefly function purpose and calling parameters only (if any).<br>
Here is another contradictory advise popular in many documents, books, etc.: "use '''white spaces''' to make code more readable". But, contrary, it is not a bad practice/habit to use minimal number of white spaces.<br>
If you are using languages that would be interpreted, e.g., Java, JavaScript, PHP, ASP/ASPX, etc., then all comments are usually deleted and code is shrunk as much as possible
to speed up processing time. So, keep well documented version of code in archive.<br>
'''Decorating code''' and using not related images are considered an "Internet graffiti"
by some authors/bloggers. But more often it is called just trash and spam.<br>
Regarding "preludes" here on RC I would say they are OK, but better place would be on related language page, e.g., with titles like "Interesting historical notes",
"Useful XXX language tips", etc.<br>
The main reason: task pages becoming too big and looking through itthem sometimes is really difficult.<br>
Here is another sample. My VoeLib.gp page (pure text file) on OEIS Wiki became too big, and I've got automatic Wiki message: "Your page is bigger than 32K. Please reduce its size. Some browsers can't
handle big pages". This forced me to split my page into 2 pages. Soon we will have the same problem here on RC.

:::I try to pick my battles. Coding style is usually not one of them. I made that suggestion solely to point out that if it bothers you, you have the power to do something about it.
:::I am not aware of there being any restrictions on the number of logins anyone (who hasn't been completely blocked) can make, admin or not. I get the "You have cookies disabled" notice about 1 out of 5 times I try to log in. Usually if I wait 30 seconds or so and retry it goes through the second time. Not always, but usually. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 22:59, 6 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Thundergnat: I know for sure how busy you are doing editing job. RC should have a dozen of active editors (not 2-3 like now).
::::Regarding restricting logins with fake messages: It was proven by me in discussion with other admin. Please find it here on this page below.
::::[In Chrome: 1st click on page; then type [Ctrl+f]; then type in popped-up find bar: FAKE. That's it.]

: Yes, there're a '''lot''' of output(s) that is/are incorrect and/or wrong, and also missing completely, &nbsp; and some that don't even address some &nbsp; (or all) &nbsp; of the output requirements, and still others that show something completely different. &nbsp; I'm not a Rosetta Code administrator, so I try to tread pretty lightly, especially after I got into a tiff (well, tiffs) &nbsp; with a particular user (who eventually became the only user to be banned for life from Rosetta Code) --- and this was after he was warned and banned twice (as I recall). &nbsp; Ever since then, I felt like I was tarnished (with a pretty wide brush after that cyber bullying) and I've been pretty hesitant when flagging programming examples (or their output) with an &nbsp; ''incorrect flag''. &nbsp; Your replies have made me realize that flagging others would be a costly endeavor and incur too much wrath (or flame wars?) &nbsp; for correcting such a simple error. &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 06:22, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

'''Last''', I’ve discovered that RosettaCode Wiki using '''FAKE''' messages to limit login of certain users to pages. This is not nice and not correct.
