:: Yeah, you're right, neither of those belong in the sorting algorithm template. They should instead be listed in [[http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Category:Sorting Category:Sorting]]. I'll remove them. --[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 13:55, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
::: Will you be adding a template so that the list of tasks for '''Sorting''' will show up as did the '''Sorting algorithms'''? It took me quite a while to track down just where update the list (so that it shows on the task's preamble). -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
::: I was thinking about having such a list for tasks dealing with '''primes''' or some such suitably named category, perhaps another category for things dealing with '''factorization''' (both American and British spellings), perhaps even a combined list. I don't know enough about setting up such a thing. Once set up and one knows where to look, it's not that much work to add tasks to the category list. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
::: Same thing about '''self-referential sequences''' (such as '''look-and-say sequences''', '''four is magic''', '''four is the number of letters in the ...''', and such). I'm not sure what the appropriate terminology is. Generally speaking, I use those category templates to help me find other similar tasks to assist me so I can write new solutions/entries. For some categories, this isn't a problem (for instance, sorting, as most sorting/ordering Rosetta Code tasks usually start with '''sort'''. Same thing with (programing) '''looping'''. But, '''four is magic''', not so much. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 19:56, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
