== Color notation ==

Hi Xenllium, glad to see you using color notation so much! If you have any questions about it, or suggestions for improving it, please don't hesitate to contact me. BTW I recently corrected a few names involving 23 both as a prime and as an exponent. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 21:32, 23 February 2019 (UTC)

== Question about Facebook membership ==

Hi Xenllium, lots of good edits from you recently. Just curious, are you on our Facebook group? (What is your real name again?) - (https://www.facebook.com/groups/xenwiki/) [[User:Mike Battaglia|Mike Battaglia]] ([[User talk:Mike Battaglia|talk]]) 01:10, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

No, I am not on any Facebook group. -- [[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] 03:32, 30 March 2019 (UTC)

== Reduce comma tables on EDO pages ==

: NO!! I NEVER accept this suggestion!! Using tags such as <nowiki><span style="font-family:'Arial',sans-serif"></nowiki> is indispensable for preventing backslashes to display as another character (such as a yen sign) despite font settings!! COULD you deal it!? --[[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] ([[User talk:Xenllium|talk]]) 01:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

:: Honestly, I'm pretty sure just accepting "7¥12" as valid edostep notation is a reasonable approach at this point. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 01:33, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I like this idea, I've added ¥ as officially meaning the same thing as \ in the [[glossary]]. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 02:46, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I disagree. It isn't wise to create alternatives to otherwise simple and widespread notations just because some user has technical issues, and for which solutions have been provided too. I will remove it from the glossary, because it gives the false impression that this notation is established. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 05:01, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

:: If it doesn't work through browser settings, then I wonder if some user CSS code could do it. For example, I have my own user CSS page here: [[User:Fredg999/common.css]]. I think the stuff that's currently in there isn't relevant anymore because it was implemented site-wide since then, but it should give you an idea of how it works, at least. You might be able to define a CSS rule that sets the default font to Arial, which should work the same as a span tag, except it would be applied everywhere automatically. See also [[Help:Advanced formatting of wiki pages]]. That said, I think searching for a workaround at the browser level has more chance to work quickly. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 03:29, 27 April 2025 (UTC)

You can easily fix this by editing your [[User:Xenllium/common.css|user CSS]] to:

body {

font-family: Arial;

}

</syntaxhighlight >

I tested for myself to verify that it works.

== Keep in mind naming conventions (specially for -ic/-ismic commas) ==

When naming commas, don't forget the [[Temperament_naming#Temperament_and_comma_naming_conventions|comma naming conventions]]. They help to make sure that the names of commas and their associated temperaments can't be confused with other temperaments or concepts, as well as ensuring that it's easy for future theorists to refer to both the subgroup and full prime limit temperaments a comma defines, without ambiguity. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 07:02, 11 May 2025 (UTC)

== New pages & notability ==

Please take a moment to review the [[notability guidelines]], especially when creating new comma pages.

Note that these are still new, so if you have concerns, please put them on the talk page there.

Specifically for new comma pages I want to ask the following things:

* Don't put a name in bold in the lemma, unless it is an established name in the community. If you want to propose a new name, put it in a section below.

* Include at least ''some'' information on why the comma is relevant. If you believe the comma is important enough to deserve its own page, you should be able to explain why it is significant.

For an example, see the page on [[1000/999]].
