* as for [[QBasic]], the article has the wrong name, is all - there is no "QBasic programming language", it is an interpretter for the same dialect of [[BASIC programming language|BASIC]] as [[Microsoft QuickBASIC compiler|QuickBASIC]] (which could also compile it), which in turn is one of hundreds of mutually incompatible BASIC dialects that have sprung up over the years, but can't really be considered languages in their own right.

** I suggest moving it (what's with this "''foo programming language''" convention anyway? Isn't it breaking a wider convention on obvious naming, except where necessary for disambiguation? What else is ever going to live at [[Smalltalk]] other than the content of [[Smalltalk programming language]]?)

** It (QBasic) should be removed from [[MediaWikiTemplate:List of programming languages]], too: you wouldn't put [[gcc]] in there, after all.

:So, essentially, the necessary changes are kind of more minor than you make out, although I see your point about the mindset and whatever. Humph, now this is almost as long as my first version - this time I'd better not crash my browser while previewing it, cos I need to get to bed.
