== History ==
Following a discussion in [[Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do]], a Google Forms survey was run by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] from Jan 1 to Jan 3 2025 (Sydney time). The survey was posted on the Wiki's Facebook, its Discord, and the aforementioned talk page. 4 wiki editors voted. Lambeth himself did not vote.

The survey asked in which circumstances an interval page should be in Category:Stubs, in Category:Todo:expand, or in neither of those.

Based on the results, Lambeth created the guidelines.

=== Survey results ===
==== Key ====
(^^) Indicates the winning option.

(??) Indicates an unresolvable tied winner.

==== Winner determination method ====
# If any option has >50% of the votes, it wins.
# If every option has 50% or less, then eliminate the last placed option and reallocate its votes as follows:
## "EXPAND" --> "STUBS"
## "STUBS" --> "EXPAND"
## "NEITHER" --> "STUBS"
# Whichever option has the most votes afterwards wins; if it's a tie, then the result is indeterminate
# If there is a tie for last place between "neither" and another option, then treat "neither" as last and the other option as second last (eliminate "neither") - this is because neither wouldn't have a chance to win if it were second last given how preferences are allocated.
# If there is a tie between "stubs" and "expand" for last place, then treat "expand" as last and "stubs" as second last (eliminate "expand") - this is because "expand" is a much smaller category on the wiki, more easily overloaded by too many new pages at once, so it's better for controversial edge cases to go to "stubs" instead.

==== Results by factor ====
Factors sorted from apparent strongest to weakest.
