Thanks for your appreciation of the work made by gdx and myself. And I agree with you: nor gdx nor myself have English as first language, so we know that our English is not perfect. Fortunaly another user, Rderooy, who made also much work in the Wiki, can correct our mistakes, as English is his first language. Of course help on this matter from other people with an excellent English would be really apppreciated.

Thanks for the compliment I guess, but English is actually not my first language, and I do make mistakes!

Me and Ren prefer the Tag [MSX1 software], [MSX2 software], etc. than [MSX1], [MSX2], etc. because we find it too vague. It's 2 people against one. Despite this, you change all tags that I put but you do not change you do not change Ren's one. You change without considering the other opinions and only what I do. Why are you doing that?

@gdx: that page is/was still like an (my) example/proposal (so it's left as that) (I restored it even )

Note that the final page will just have the Blagger title (we have consensus on that )

Because Ren's page is only a test page.

And you forget my main argument: I don't want the excessive categories proposed by Ren. As long that he does not change himself his test page, I will not accept the MSX1 Software, MSX2 Software, etc categories.

You can see the result on the existing MSX1, MSX2, MSX2+ and MSX Turbo R categories.

What I did was showing that the [MSXx software] tags do not increase the number. On the contrary, a Tags has been removed and while avoiding the mix between wikis that talk about software in general.

The [Scene softwares] tag increases the number but you accept it.

You mean that a Software tag (without MSX1, MSX2 ...) can be used only for general pages about software, not for software linked to a MSX generation? I try to understand, it's not very clear what you are saying...

Don't touch to the specific Scene software, because it's the choice of the developers! You can't understand that, I know it, but the Dutch MSX scene has also his word on this matter. For this reason, your second argument is invalid.

Yes, you understood (well before I even explained). It is intuitive that way. I prefer what is intuitive.

Ok, then we have the same understading of the problem, all depends now from Ren, because his excessive categories are a barrier for a complete agreement (and unfortunaly, you have choosen the bad moment to come with these 4 categories for the software).
