== Merge? How does this differ from BCD (6-bit)? ==

[[BCD (6-bit)]] [[User:Peter Flass|Peter Flass]] ([[User talk:Peter Flass|talk]]) 13:55, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

Per [[Wikipedia:Merging]], proposed merge discussions should take place on a single page. As I was confused by the separate discussion at [[Talk:BCD (6-bit)]], I took the liberty to merge it.

:There are many reasons for keeping [[BCD (6-bit)]] separate from [[Six-bit character code]] (I've used it for 35 years as System engineer at Bull, and it was a milestone)

# Not to allow it to be confused with [[BCD]]..

'''Please participate in discussion at [[Talk:BCD (6-bit)]].''' Thanks, [[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 17:46, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

# [[Six-bit character code]] is generic

# [[Braille sixbit code]] it should go inside [[Six-bit character code]], but may not be included in [[BCD (6-bit)]]

== External links ==

# It was the first [[Six-bit character code]].. giving birth to its offsprings [[EBCDIC]] and [[ASCII]]

All 3 external links are broken now. Could someone fix this? [[User:Xbony2|-Xbony2]] ([[User talk:Xbony2|talk]]) 20:31, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

# Do you want to merge all 8bit code sets in one article?

:Done, and I fixed a bunch of references while I was at it. [[User:Guy Harris|Guy Harris]] ([[User talk:Guy Harris|talk]]) 22:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

# All code pages have separate articles.. Do you want to merge all code pages in one article?

== Page formatting ==

I think the character charts should be moved so that the description and chart of each charset are together. Right now the charts are in their own section which forces readers to scroll from the description to find the corresponding chart.
