:Another aspect is that this may be fine for obvious, simple function names (where a single description covers all implementations), but I guess pretty soon modders will get creative and devise function names that may be quite ambiguous. Should we just wait and see how things evolve? [[User:QQuix|QQuix]] 11:30, 31 July 2009 (EDT)

::I say we simply restrict things to the implementation that seems the best (performance, easiness to read, etc) - use Discussion pages to deliberate on that, if necessary. If two functions actually work two separate ways (for example, a Floor function that always rounds down versus one that always rounds towards zero), we could have both with their own headers, or give them separate pages - it doesn't really strike me as a big deal either way. I'm tempted to agree, though, that it'd be a better to have them on the same page, but again, not a huge deal.
::The Min page looks good. The [[User Functions]] page needs work (Wiki'fication, mostly), but that's fine. I'm also fine with the wait-and-see plan on this.
::Remember, name conflicts in actual mods isn't a problem. You're still dealing with FormIDs.
