Talk:Sed

Template Query
Template was added to this page. This template says: "A Wikibookian is inquiring as to whether this page may have been created by accident or as a test." The text entered into the template is this: "This seems to be nothing more than an encyclopaedic article unless it's part of a book?". This page was not created by accident and it is not a test. It is a page containing instructions on using sed, non-encyclopedic material well suited for Wikibooks. Because of containing instructions, it is not an encyclopedic article. Whether the page is part of a larger book is immaterial. --Dan Polansky (discuss • contribs) 19:36, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

More Sed Pages
I think we could add the "Sed" page contents to an "Introduction" page, and leave the main "Sed" page more as a "Table of Contents" page, something like the C wikibook. Suggestions? Opinions?

Breaking into subpages
I object to breaking this book into subpages. I do so especially since the page has fewer than 8 KB.

Advantages of a single page: Advantages of multiple pages:
 * Easier search using browser's Control + F function
 * No need to create and update a printed version page
 * Snapshotting of book development: a revision of a single page is a snapshot of a book in time. Creating a snapshot in time of a collection of pages is far from that straightforward.
 * Smaller occupation of wiki database storage, as edits are made to much smaller pages
 * Better focus for readers with attention deficit
 * Shorter loading times, but not much really, I think. Depends on the length of a book. For a book under 100 KB, the loading time difference seems negligible.
