Use

Comment is needed on the wide spread use of the system, e.g. it is used extensivly in UK academic and research libraries, and no doubt other places too. PaddyBasher (talk) 16:05, 16 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Table

User:Pppery: Why do you think including the table is appropriate? Logoshimpo (talk) 23:39, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think including a brief summary of what the classification system actually is is the correct level of encyclopedic detail to discuss the system, and deleting the entire table leaves clauses like mainly in the fact that five classes (I, O, W, X, and Y) lack any assignment to topics meaningless. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 23:41, 10 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
