Rfv-sense "The text prompt presented to the user in a command line interface." (see the usex.) Tagged but not listed. If this is obviously valid, I don't mind someone detagging it without going to the bother of formatting citations. - -sche (discuss) 03:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- Definitions one and two look identical to me. Is there any meaningful difference being drawn? BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- Sense 2 refers to the actual prompt, such as "c:\windows\>". Equinox ◑ 11:22, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- I suppose that is different. It seems odd to have three definitions for what is nearly the same thing. Is it possible to compress them? My vote is to detag. Whether they can be compressed or not, I think all three uses are widespread. BenjaminBarrett12 (talk) 17:51, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
- The definitions are similar but still distinct. The first refers to the system of typing commands itself (a command line interface), the second refers to the prompt at which one types, and the third is what one types at it. —CodeCat 17:58, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
