[edit] .tsv

This article should really be a note on the comma-separated values page, and both .tsv and tab-separated values should point there. As supporting evidence, I would point to a small comma-separated values library that I wrote which can handle both comma and tab separated files just with a simple change of a flag. Richard W.M.

• Merge into comma-separated values and delete. Richard W.M. Jones 08:17, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge --Rogerd 18:46, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but rename as tab-separated values. Tab-separated values are very similar, but distinct from comma-separated values, and should have its own article. Readers can easily find their way to the CSV page from TSV page for more information. Also of note, the CSV page lists tab-separated values (a redirect to .tsv) in it's See also section. Since both pages reference each other, it is unlikely that the pages will end up including large amounts of duplicated content. Btm 20:58, 8 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. If it is indeed kept, do not move it, but keep a redirect at tab-separated values and at tab separated values. --Jacquelyn Marie 23:05, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
