i ~~have~~ a ~~user~~ page ~~now :~~)

==list of things i do not like about the wiki==

this list is here because listing all the things i ''do'' like would take too long.

* things on here can be very hard to understand. this is not controversial.

* It's hard to find a page you're looking for even if you know what it's about, but especially if you don't know whether such a page exists in the first place. Important pages for starters should be accessible by following links from the main page. In particular, I'd like a "bird's eye view of bird's eye view pages" page to be linked on the main page.

* Octave equivalence is assumed ''everywhere''. 5/2 and 5/4 are the same as much as 9/8 and 10/9 are the same; treating them the same can be useful in certain contexts, but they are not fundamentally the same thing. And in a space dedicated to exploring new tuning and music, it is very silly and annoying to constantly assume octaves essentially don't matter. (Tritave equivalence isn't a solution, it just moves the problem. I think ''every'' pitch should be considered its own thing.)
