== Consolidate ed-degrees pages ==

The degree is related to certain scales and not a concretely defined interval. The only widely recognized degree–ratio correlations are the octave (2/1), the fifth (3/2) and the fourth (4/3). All the others should be named by the exact ratio. For example, it is unclear what interval edX exactly splits. The ratio that makes the most logical sense would be either 81/32 or 5/2, yet in the article it is defined as 7/3. I suggest moving this page to ed7/3. Likewise, all the others except for edo, edt, and edf. Now I also suggest moving edf to ed3/2, since both ''fifth'' and ''fourth'' has the initial ''f'' and one cannot tell by the name if it's fifth or fourth.

: I agree with everything except the final point. I think [[EDF|edf]] as equal divisions of the fifth is already well established (e.g. [[9edf]] redirects to [[Carlos Alpha]]), while equal divisions of the fourth (currently in "edIV") are very scarcely used. I understand your concern when you say "one cannot tell by the name if it's fifth or fourth", but I don't think people should even guess the meaning of an acronym; they will learn that 'f' stands for "fifth", which makes sense because it is the simplest interval between 3/2 and 4/3. For that matter, some people write ed2 even though edo is relatively unambiguous, so I'd rather make it clear what edf means for those who choose to use it. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 01:12, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

== EDO tunings of some regular temperaments ==

Optimal ET sequence → Equal tuning (redirect) → Equal-step tuning (here)

I'd like to see a description about the benefits of tuning the temperaments to Equal-step tunings, somewhere from there to here. I feel like there was something like that somewhere.--[[User:Dummy index|Dummy index]] ([[User talk:Dummy index|talk]]) 14:45, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

== Bulk-editing the MMTM pages ==

A while back, Moremajorthanmajor made almost 500 pages for equal step tunings, which contained nothing except Infobox ET. Since then, we have marked them as stubs, but otherwise left them unchanged.

I’m thinking that I would like add ED Intro, Harmonics in Equal and Interval Table to each of those pages.

It wouldn’t fix the problem - they’d all still be stubs - but it would at least be a bit of a band aid to make the pages a bit more presentable.

If I did this, I would mark all the edits as minor, to make it easy to filter them out of recent changes.

Do you think this is a good idea, or would you rather I not do that?
