:''Pleae note that this discussion was moved from a category formerly known as "Wikipedian programmers," which was merged with this one.''

I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what I did wrong to end up at the start of the list instead of in alphabetical order. [[User:Nahaj|Nahaj]] 21:44:57, 2005-09-09 (UTC)

:You included a space before the N, which will thus list you under the space character; which precededs A as far as ASCII/UTF are concerned. I've corrected your user page - hope you don't mind. [[User:Mindmatrix|Mindmatrix]] 22:17, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

:* A working definition a programming language is that it be [[Turing complete]]. Regular expressions don't qualify for that either. [[User:Squell|squell]] 12:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

:HTML/XHTML & CSS don't exactly belong here. The templates I made for these categories don't list the users as programmers (unless someone changed them). As for RTF, no one writes it by hand unless they are making a RTF editor. So to summerize: CSS, HTML/XHTML and RTF are all presentation layer, while XML, regular expressions deal with the actual data layer (I consider dealing with data programming).

:: So to you, typing data into a database constitutes programming? :-) Anyway, most of the category pages at the first level below this one use [[Template:Usersprogram]], which uses the word "program" - I changed the HTML and XHTML ones the other day. Is it worth creating a corresponding template for markup languages? -- [[User:Smjg|Smjg]] 13:20, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

:::That's data entry. Also, no one outside of a developer writes raw XML. I also forgot to mention SQL, which is considered a programming language. I am in favor of the creation of [[:Category:Wikipedian document markup users]] or [[:Category:Wikipedian document markup authors]].

Is it necessary to have this underneath [[:Category:Wikipedians by language]]? I mean, it's not a language that people use to directly communicate with each other, is it? No one writes love letters to their sweetheart in Java... right? &mdash;[[User:Scoutersig|Scouter]][[User talk:Scoutersig|Sig]] 21:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
