Talk:Endianness
Most significant byte and least significant byte are used at the start of the article without much reference as to what they mean. They are linked to a page which redirects to "Bit numbering#(Least|Most) Significant Byte" as of right now, but those sections no longer exist on that page. [1] appears to be the revision that got rid of those sections, and in it's edit summary it points to the Endianness article to define these terms. Those redirects should be changed, but the information might want to be inserted in this page, which is why I'm leaving this on the talk page.2001:48F8:7054:18FA:0:0:0:7297 (talk) 01:34, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
So it is possible that a machine has another addressing scheme. With such an addressing scheme the statement of the section "Simplicity" becomes false. –Nomen4Omen (talk) 20:42, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Bytesex and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 November 25#Bytesex until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

Does the term "byte sex" deserve to be in the first sentence? It has about 60,000 bing hits, and most of the first page isn't even discussing it in the endian sense. I've never heard the term before. 2A00:23C5:321B:BB01:241C:9873:FD0F:C101 (talk) 21:26, 7 January 2023 (UTC)
Regarding the removal of "bit endianness": the term is easy to find in the literature (e.g., [2], a book by Springer). The deleted text about the error-correcting codes was also factually correct (I expect it to be hard to find a source for the latter, though). I happen to like the new text more, and think that the error correction minutiae are out of scope here altogether, but, probably, it is worth adding back the "bit endianness" term somewhere in the text (not in the section header)?
