'''This wiki is about musical tuning.'''

~~=It's about xenharmonic and microtonal music.=~~

That field is many things to many people. [[General theory]] is a good place to start your reading.

~~This~~ field is many things to many ~~[[People|~~people]]. ~~We have a~~ [[~~GeneralDiscussion|guide for learning about tunings on the internet~~]]~~, and~~ a ~~few different takes on [[misconceptions_about_xenharmony|some common misconceptions]] encountered in microtonal studies~~.

The pages on the left sidebar will get you eventually to most pages on the wiki, but there is also the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] page, and the index of [[all pages]].

~~I don't care if they're frequent or one-of-a-kind, bring 'em all here. Keep them alphabetical if you please. Answer each question on a separate~~ page, ~~linked to by~~ the ~~question~~.

~~What is all this new terminology good for anyway?~~

Feel free to [[ask questions]] and provide your own answers as you learn about microtonality.

'''The content on almost every page is editable by you. But first:'''

# Sign up: [[Help:How to Get Your Xenwiki Account]]

# Play in the [[SandBox]] to get the hang of editing.

# If you are new to the wiki: When creating new pages, try drafting them in your [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Notability guidelines#Main_space_vs._user_space|user space]] first before publishing them — seek feedback from other editors by adding the following line to the bottom of your page:

~~[[People~~|~~Who IS who in microtonality?]]~~

<pre>{{todo|feedback request}}</pre>

~~Why~~ do ~~microtonal musicians argue so much?~~ Do ~~they argue more than people in other fields of research?~~

Things to keep in mind:

* '''As best as possible, adhere to [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Notability guidelines]], [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Conventions]] and [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Article guidelines]].'''

* [[Help: Editing]] and [[FAQ]] will help you learn how to use formatting and the wiki software.

* [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Things to do]] and [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Wikifuture]] help you find out what community projects are currently under way.

* "[[Special:WantedPages]]" can be deceiving. Do not blindly create pages you see there. Read [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Conventions]] first.
