Hi, You created categories for popular words hat are specific to a particular language, i.r. sort for the Wren languah. Would you move such and rename them to Wren/Sort , allowing other languages to not b blocked if they want to do similar.<br>
Thanks. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 09:23, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
:Well I checked the three names I've used so far: fmt, str and sort (plus several others I'm planning) to make sure that there were no other categories with similar names before I used them and (surprisingly) there were not. This may because most languages will already have this stuff in their standard libraries and so won't have to write it from scratch.
:However, I have no objection to prefixing everything with 'Wren/' and think in fact it would be a good idea. I'm not sure whether moving the pages though is the best solution as the original page will then redirect to the new one and nobody will be able to use it without orphaning the new page.
:What I propose instead is to recreate the new pages from scratch and change the libheaders in the 60 or so tasks involved to link to those pages. I'll then blank the original pages and tell you when I've done it so you can delete them (presumably you need admin privileges for that).
:Although this might sound tedious, I'm going to have to re-examine these tasks (and all the others) done in Wren anyway to see what other repetitive stuff is in there and would be best moved to a separate library. Primality checking and factorization are obvious candidates as I'm constantly copying and pasting the same routines here.
:Anyway let me know if you agree with this proposal and I'll get on with it straightaway. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 13:47, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
