	:::::::::: I don't think a BASIC article should be confined to its historical view only. That said, splitting it into several, small articles would not be practical either. Maybe it should stay as it is with a 'commandname_deep' article following those commands that need more explanation? In any case, you're really more than welcome to give a hand... MORE than welcome :) [[User:Gryzor\|Gryzor]] 08:13, 3 February 2008 (CET)		:::::::::: I don't think a BASIC article should be confined to its historical view only.

	::::::::: This doesn't seem to have been discussed for a while. Let me offer my thoughts as an experienced wiki user but a newcomer to CPCWiki. The article [[Locomotive BASIC]] should be limited to an historical perspective without trying to explain every command. The list of commands should be split off with a link, I would be in favour of a single page with all of the commands and examples listed. If each command has its own page then as [[User:C2r\|C2r]] said, you would end up with a lot of very small articles. I would be opposed to separate articles for each command. The only commands complex enough to justify this would be <code>PRINT</code>, <code>SOUND</code>, <code>ENT</code> and <code>ENV</code> as far as I can tell. My Locomotive BASIC is still very good, I don't mind writing example code to include.

	:::::: Perhaps list of commands for the title of the page doesn't quite sell the idea... What I mean is to move the existing command list from the Locomotive Basic Page to a new one, with the new page containing the information about the names of the commands, their use, and short examples, with links to more detailed individual pages with longer examples and uses only for those that require it.

	:::: Hehe, mine too. Something which might be an idea is to move the Basic commands reference from this page to another, e.g. [[List of Locomotive BASIC commands]], and link to that page from the main Locomotive Basic page. This would separate those people wanting information about basic including the history and general information from the people using the page as a reference with examples etc. All the pages could be grouped together via a Category:Basic, for example. just some thoughts....!
