Template talk:Interval table

Moving tables >200 to their own separate pages instead of keeping them in the main edo page

I have noticed that, when used on pages for edos 200 or bigger, Template:Interval table noticeably slows the page’s loading time.

Currently, the pages of this size which are using it, are:

• 238edo
• 240edo
• 276edo
• 302edo
• 311edo
• 321edo
• 360edo
• 365edo
• 400edo
• 636edo

For each of these pages, I’m wondering if I should move the interval table out into its own separate page (e.g. “Table of 238edo intervals”) in order to reduce the loading time of the main edo pages themselves?

Does this sound like a good idea?

Imo all edo pages in the hundreds should have their interval table relegated to a separate subpage. This template is a good makeshift but it should eventually be replaced with manually created tables by someone who's actually interested in using the edos. FloraC (talk) 10:45, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

That’s a very good long term plan, I agree with that.

I have created a category for these subpages to go in: Category:Tables of edo intervals. I have also added this as a goal on Wikifuture and Xenharmonic Wiki:Things to do (feel free to edit the wording of what I’ve written there).

I will now go ahead and make the subpages for those 10edos I listed.

Thank you for this proposal, I think it’s a great idea :) --BudjarnLambeth (talk) 11:16, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

I have done so now --BudjarnLambeth (talk) 12:13, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Parameters "threshold" and "max_error" don't do anything

The parameters "threshold" and "max_error" do nothing. I first noticed this while trying to increase the strictness of the 120edo table, but then realised this is also happening even on the 12edo table example given on this template page itself. The two versions, with and without the threshold parameter, are exactly the same. Please fix these parameters. --BudjarnLambeth (talk) 05:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Having the same default max error for all edos seems strange

I think that having a blanket default max error of 35 cents for all edos, regardless of size, is not optimal. Perhaps it would make more sense to have a default max error of 1200/2.5n cents where n is the size of the edo? That way, the max error for 12edo would be 40 cents, but the max error for 120edo would be 4 cents. Instead of it being 35 cents for everything. --BudjarnLambeth (talk) 05:15, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Update: I have gone and made this change now. It worked :) --BudjarnLambeth (talk) 05:34, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
