Criteria for inclusion
A question to current and future maintainers of this page: what are criteria to decide which sequences are / are not included here? I think it's pretty obvious that including every relevant sequence will make this a Very Long Page(TM), that will load slowly and be read-to-end by almost no one.

Format
Previously the integer sequences use a monospaced font that, in my opinion, is aesthetically pleasing and easy to copy directly:
2, 6, 14, 14, 62, 126, 30, 30, 1022, ...
There is only one leading space required for this display format, making it also easy to edit and maintain. But why was it replaced with a leading comma in this edit? GUYTU6J (talk) 15:33, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
