Hi Piotr, <br/>
Hi Piotr, <br/>
you started adding a column in the page [[15edo-interval names]] which broke the table, that's why I removed it (I beg your understanding). Feel free to re-add a ''whole'' column, but for linking to background information (I'm talking about [[User:PiotrGrochowski/Extra-Diatonic Intervals|Extra-Diatonic Intervals]]), it would be better use a page in the main namespace (soon), so that also others feel invited to elaborate about your idea. <br/> Best --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 09:40, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

It's neither Kite's, mine, yours or anyone else's. The difference is that all Kite's conventions are removed; scales now start with C and not D, augmented unison is included for 12edo, pentatonic scales removed, etc. [[User:PiotrGrochowski|PiotrGrochowski]] ([[User talk:PiotrGrochowski|talk]]) 14:46, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
:: Piotr - the thing is, as Kite continues to change his page, it will become difficult to see the differences between his page and yours. The link you gave above will only do a diff between the old version of his page and your current page. If you are not interested in making a new notation system, it would be helpful to make a page that emphasizes the difference between your sytem and his, so we can see what they are.

== A word about templates ==
Hello Piotr, <br/>
I understand your idea to include (some) templates into the [[:Category:Shortcuts]] but you are doing it wrong: if you place <code><nowiki>[[Category:Shortcuts]]</nowiki></code> into a template without surrounding it by <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki></noinclude></nowiki></code>, you cause the including (or "transcluding") pages to be added to this category, what may be intended, but obviously not in this very case ([https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=SandBox&oldid=36275#List_model currently] [[SandBox]] is categorized as a [[:Category:Shortcuts|Shortcut]] but in fact it isn't). BTW [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Template%3AMonzo&type=revision&diff=36459&oldid=36458 I protected Template:Monzo] to help you concentrate on fixing the problems in [[Template:List]] fist. <br/>

== broken ratios ==
Good to point on this! But I'd do it openly in your place. Maybe by typing "broken ratio!" behind the wrong numbers so that everyone can see the error. (If he/she is so smart as to understand that an 0-ending in numerator and denominator clearly indicates a rounding error). I woudn't hide the errors by commenting them out.

you seem to be a [https://scratch.mit.edu/users/ihgfedcba/ Scratch programmer]. What are the prerequisites to run these programs? Is it possible from within modern Browsers? Doesn't is need a Flash Player? <br/>

== Your list modelling efforts ==
Hi Piotr, <br/>
MediaWiki has a built-in list feature that makes it easy to add and ''maintain'' lists (unordered, ordered, mixed) on wiki pages. This is for a purpose. If you are interested in doing it the hard way yourself, maybe invest your time into it. But stop ''wasting other people's time'' with it. If you wish to suggest technical improvements to the wiki community, try to discuss it first. If not on Facebook then here on talk pages or in separate project pages (in the [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Special:AllPages?from=&to=&namespace=4 project namespace]). You may as well be bold and introduce it into normal pages but be open to ''accept'' that the feedback may differ from you expectations. Don't push your ideas into the wiki by pretending they're common conventions. Believe me, there are lots of people here that are absolute familiar with HTML. Wikis were invented to ''avoid'' HTML wherever  possible, I thought you knew about that. Please move your list model project into the project namespace. You may link to it from your user namespace at will. You may also link to it from talk pages if you explain why. <br/>
Best regards --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 06:43, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
:You are very biased towards that [[list model]]. The [[Conventions]] are not biased towards any particular [[list model]]. What you're describing is <code>wikispaces</code>, which is closing for a reason. Not to mention it's a pain to get newlines in many environments. Please stop being biased.

== Thanks for contributing again ==
Hello Piotr,<br/>
I ask you to do a critical review of what you are calling "[[list model]]". There will be very few people that will call it like this. And, much more important, MediaWiki will export '''valid HTML''' lists for the simplified wiki markup (<code>#</code>, <code>*</code> and <code>;</code>+<code>:</code>) as well as for list built via HTML markup, the same is true for your templates, but not for the other "options". Please have a look on the resulting HTML delivered by MediaWiki, I mean: check the delivered HTML source code (for example Ctrl+U for Firefox under Windows). <br/>
Thanks in advance! <br/>

:The [[list models]] need not have the same HTML output. Plaintext lists are named so because the output is plaintext, so it can be copied anywhere, including personal notes in Notepad or in the <nowiki><pre></pre></nowiki> safety zone. Defined lists intentionally override the MediaWiki list styling for a defined one. All of these are valid HTML. Do you see any HTML errors in your browser's debugger in [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=SandBox&oldid=37569#List_model SandBox#List model]?

=== Why on earth are you insisting to re-invent the wheel?? ===
The wiki source code ''is meant'' to be the ideal fall-back version. That's why it's a bad idea to overcomplicate it. In MediaWiki it's easy to get access to the source code, even if in read-only mode (BTW: did you know [https://en.xen.wiki/w/Chroma?action=raw <code>?action=raw</code>]). Do you really believe that someone is interested in adding unreadable number pictures and hard-coded line breaks, if styling is normally based on CSS these times? Here is what W3Cschools have to say about [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_lists.asp HTML Lists]. Please consider to further clarify your intention with the help of some sensible reference. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 18:08, 23 October 2018 (UTC)

== Serious warning ==
You are obviously unable to present your intention in a polite and understandable manner. I assume that your intrusive changes will result in you being permanently put into read-only mode in the near future. I very much regret that you have such difficulties with self-criticism. It is still open how long your writing pause will last. I know from some dedicated Xenwiki users that they plead for a permanent ban and resent me for not having you permanently blocked already. Do me (and you!) a favor and undo your last changes.
