'''The wedgie method''' is a placeholder for an unknown method of finding temperaments<ref>This page was created as the outcome of discussion here: [[Talk:Catalog_of_seven-limit_rank_two_temperaments#The "wedgie method"]]</ref>. The original drafts of several temperament-cataloging wiki pages<ref>The pages are: [[Catalog_of_eleven-limit_rank_three_temperaments]], [[Catalog_of_eleven-limit_rank_two_temperaments]], [[Catalog_of_thirteen-limit_rank_two_temperaments]], [[Catalog_of_seven-limit_rank_two_temperaments]], and [[User:TallKite/Catalog_of_eleven-limit_rank_three_temperaments_with_Color_names]]</ref> included links to the page called "[[The wedgie]]", claiming that this page explained the method by which the cataloged temperaments were obtained. However, the method and its explanation are missing.
#REDIRECT [[Wedgie/Archived version]]
 
The links to the page were not anchored to a subsection of the page; they were simply directed to the page. However, the page is not itself a dedicated explanation of such a temperament-finding method, and does not clearly appear to include an explanation of such a method anywhere within it. In 2012, when this page and the several pages linking to it for an explanation of this temperament-finding method were first created, still no such explanation existed, and it does not appear to exist in an easy-to-find place in page edit histories. Furthermore, the original author of these pages, [[Gene Ward Smith]], has unfortunately passed away, so he cannot be consulted on the matter. And so for now this page here is intended to serve as a placeholder for this missing information, in case anyone is eventually able to fill it in.
 
For now, one possible explanation of this method could be: iterate through all temperaments by complexity using wedgies, and filter out those which are non-temperaments and/or are of high badness.
