:*When this is done, BSL:Functions and BSL:Variables will be replaced by messages that redirect the reader to the instructions for using functions/variables on [[BSL:Manual]], or else the command list on the "Reference" page, whichever they are looking for. No longer will we have to browse two pages at once while trying to find a command we're thinking of but can't remember if it is a variable or function.

:If anyone has any questions or concerns, either now or as I perform the work and things start to take shape, I guess we can just talk about it here (I will clear the talk when the project is done). If it's not clear what I am proposing, I will have a fuller "demo" available in the next few days that shows how the system is supposed to work. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 23:06, 7 December 2015 (CET)

:Oh, I also just created [[BSL:Manual]] by merging together all of the pages about BSL (and filling in the blanks that had never been documented). I think it's easier to read a single long, interconnected page on this subject than to click around the wiki, reading about disconnected subjects like "Operators" and "Keywords". I am not rapidly editing the Manual anymore, so it's safe for others to edit it if they want to fix something. I did a lot of research and testing while writing it, but there are still probably some mistakes. One of the topics I am less experienced with is the various uses of "fork". So it would be good if experienced scripters could read over the Manual page, and also its "[[wikipedia:CliffsNotes|Cliff's Notes]]" version, [[BSL:Introduction]]. --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] ([[User talk:Iritscen|talk]]) 23:20, 7 December 2015 (CET)
