=== Transfer from riters.com ===
There are still a couple of pages at [https://web.archive.org/web/20050503032508/http://riters.com:80/microtonal/ http://riters.com/microtonal] that could be copied over if we want this to be the one true wiki. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

=== Improved Listening List ===
The list of downloadable microtonal sounds is in good shape. It does need people to watch relevant sources (tuning and MMM lists come to mind) and add/update the links. A reviewing or rating system, perhaps also of CD releases, may additionally be helpful. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

=== Fill out the scale catalogue ===
Sources for this: all the Yahoo! lists, the Scala archive, original reflection on new and old scales, pages of X.J. Scott, David Finnamore, Tonalsoft...? Have at least one sound example (midi, mp3, ogg...) for each scale, and keep in mind that this wiki allows you to upload files up to 5 MB each.
Ever since learning about the [[MOSScales|MOS scales]] I have desired but not seen a good, thorough introduction to them, or to the two-dimensional method of creating scales. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
=== An FAQ: everyone posts questions, answers ===
This could be sufficiently primed by mining the lists. But more importantly it would need to be linked to by a high-search-engine-ranking page. [[User:Xenjacob|zenjacob]] ([[User talk:Xenjacob|talk]] 21:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Javascript is by default disabled on Mediawiki for security reasons. However, it could be a really really powerful tool for making accessible, interactive explanations for a lot of things. Just as an example, imagine that any number followed by ¢ would automagically create an exemplary audio file like the one linked to at the top of [[octave]]...imagine something like that playing when you hover over the text. Or imagine a [[wikipedia:Lissajous curve|Lissajous curve]] appears in the background when you hover over a just ratio. There are some of us capable in Javascript, and some extant widgets written in Javascript, like [https://ia601408.us.archive.org/1/items/mosedo.html/mosedo.html Billy Stiltner's MOSedo] and [http://untwelve.org/online_tools AKJ's tools]. We need at least a collected xenharmonic Javascript library, and maybe that project can't live here, but it would be nice to see it eventually integrated somehow.

=== Add more languages ===
=== Create pages for the Edo recommendation hub page ===
This wiki could benefit from [[What languages do various users know?|wiki translators]] to add new languages to this wiki. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 18:05, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
Create pages where you recommend a list of [[edo]]s to beginners.
 
Follow the standardised structure shown on the page [[Edo recommendation hub page]] to make it easy for readers to compare with the other lists.
 
When your page is done, link it on [[Edo recommendation hub page]].
 
And/or create flow charts to help beginners choose edos,  and link those on [[Edo recommendation hub page]].


=== Add image annotations ===
[[Budjarn Lambeth]] 05:46, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Could you install this https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Gadget-ImageAnnotator/Installation so we can add annotations to diagrams, like labeling chords in [[:File:Consonance map, triads, sawtooth waves.png]] ?

=== Create a unified "Chains, circles and spirals" page ===


=== Interwiki for xen-calc ===
On the [[Discord]] today, [[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] posted the following proposal, it received a lot of upvotes:
Requesting interwiki for <code>https://www.yacavone.net/xen-calc/?q=$1</code>. These links are used by [[Template:Infobox Interval]] and captchas are annoying. [[User:Plumtree|Plumtree]] ([[User talk:Plumtree|talk]]) 15:02, 10 October 2022 (UTC)


=== Create table of interval pages for large edos you’re familiar with ===
::"Chains are basically 1d lattices, probably something worth mentioning in some form.
If you are familiar with a large edo (100edo or higher), please create a “Table of #edo intervals” page for it, along the lines of [[Table of 99edo intervals]] or [[Table of 198edo intervals]].


Please only do this if you are familiar with the edo, though: i.e. you have made music with the edo, or the edo falls within your sphere of expertise as a theorist.  
::Circles and spirals are just different ways to represent chains.


[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] and [[User:BudjarnLambeth|Budjarn Lambeth]], 21 January 2024.
::Therefore, it would make sense to have a single page about chains, circles and spirals.  


=== More sound examples ===
::The merge doesn't have to be done immediately, of course, but I think that's the best course of action in the long term.


We should really add some sound examples - it makes regular wikipedia and other xen websites much more comprehensible/easily digestable.
::Chains are relevant not only in edos, but also in rank-2 regular temperaments, where the octave dimension is collapsed (as is common in a circle of fifths, for that matter), leaving only one other generator to stack, making a single chain. Several temperament pages have such chains, for that matter."

=== Add no-twos consistency to Infobox ET ===
=== Donations link? ===
The no-twos consistency limit should be added to [[Template:Infobox ET]] for EDTs.


Suggested by '''[[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]]''' on the XA Discord roughly 30 hours ago, and received 7 positive reacts and no negative reacts.
I'd like to contribute to support the site.  Where can I do this?  I searched (admittedly several weeks ago now) using "contribute", "contribution", "donate", "donation", "subscribe", and "subscription", but did not find anything.  If a page for this (or some functional equivalent) exists (does one exist?), it should have a link from the home page.
