====Invented approaches to constructing tunings ====

These are the same category of thing as “equal temperaments”.

* [[Basal subgroup]]s

* [[Half-prime subgroup|Half-basis, third-basis, quarter-basis, etc. subgroups]]

* [[Equalizer subgroup]]s

* [[Substitute harmonic]]s

====Invented approaches to classifying tunings ====

These are the same category of thing as “pentatonic scales”.

===Improvements===

====Significant page creations====

* Authored the [[survey of efficient temperaments by subgroup]] to help people navigate quickly to their favourite temperament pages

* Authored the [[Gallery of arithmetic pitch sequences]] & [[Gallery of combination product sets]] pages to help people find musical [[scale]]s

* Created the [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Cross-platform dialogue]] page to aid collaboration between editors who are mostly active on Facebook and those who are mostly active on Discord

* Authored pages answering the [[FAQ]] questions:

** “[[I'm a new editor, what is everything I can do to help?]]”

** “[[Systematic comma names explained|How do I decode those strange looking comma names?]]”

====Bulk page improvements====

* Heavily added to the 2-, 3- and 4-period tables on the [[map of rank-2 temperaments]]

* Added dozens of sources and inline citations to the [[historical temperaments]] page

* Added infobox, intro, intervals, modes, subheadings & todo categories to dozens of previously close-to-empty [[MOS scale]] pages

* Added intro, intervals table and harmonics table to several hundred [[equal-step tuning]] pages (which used to just be blank pages with a single infobox)

====Structural wiki improvements====

* Added categories & formatting tags to several hundred [[:Category:Pages with Scala files|pages with Scala files]]

** With ArrowHead294’s extensive help, incorporated the template into over 50 pages for [[:Category:Lumatone mappings]]

===== • List and table creations=====

===== • Comma documentation and organisation=====

====Name changes I was involved in====

* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “septimal temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because of its potential for confusion with other uses of the term “septimal”. I decided I wanted to change it. Many people on [[Discord]], the Wiki Workgroup on [[XA Facebook]], and the wiki talk page agreed. I coined the new name “'''[[7th-octave temperaments#Austinpowers|austinpowers temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.

* There was an old comma that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “the erogluisma”. Its original namer posted on [[Discord]] that he no longer liked it, and would like someone to please rename it. I coined the new name “'''[[1682/1681|the shaftesburisma]]'''” which has now replaced it.

* Someone else described a new comma and named it “the shikanokonokonokokoshitantanma”. This name was kept, but it was too long for some use cases, so I invented an alternate short version - “'''[[nokotan|the nokotan]]'''” - for use cases where a shorter name is needed.

* Make “Undertone scales” page that exists in mutually supportive conversation with “[[IFDO]]” in a similar way how “[[Overtone scale]]” does with “[[AFDO]]”

* Add “[[:Category:Temperaments]]” to all temperament [[special:ListRedirects|redirects]]

==== Construct diagrams or lists ====

** [[8ed5/4]] to 9ed5/4

** [[4ed4/3]] to 8ed4/3

** [[8ed4]] to 15ed4

** [[3ed5]] to 5ed5

* Construct a version of an “[[odd limit]]” but for each “[[equalizer subgroup]]” and document them on the equalizer subgroup page

* Construct a [[tonality diamond]] or something like one for each “[[equalizer subgroup]]” and document them on the equalizer subgroup page

* On my page [[5- to 10-tone scales in 60edo]], change the scales to be in the more compact format that is used on edo pages instead of a ‘Scala-like’ format

* On my page [[5- to 10-tone scales in 72edo]], change the scales to be in the more compact format that is used on edo pages instead of a ‘Scala-like’ format

==== Explore, discover, document ====

* Find nice 5 to 7 tone subsets of [[Shaka10]], [[Starling12]], [[Thrush12]] and document them under a “subsets” heading on those scales’ pages

* Find more unique scales in [[Catnip]][36] in [[60edo]] that can’t be replicated in [[Compton]][36] and document them on [[5- to 10-tone scales in 60edo]]

==== Approximate x in y ====

==Random stuff I’d like to share==

===Hot takes===

* '''Silliness:''' We should take ourselves less seriously: we should have more fun, we should be more silly 🎉

* '''Arbitrary numbers:''' It’s fine to explore the 2.3.5.101 [[subgroup]] if you want to. It doesn’t matter that it’s less [[concordant]] than 2.3.5.7. Explore it anyway and see what happens. Do some stuff with [[:Category:Novelties|arbitrary numbers]] that don’t make logical sense and just see what comes of it. That’s where the fun is! (Though do keep a “2.3” or “3.5” in there just to smooth over the gnarliest edges, heehee.)

* '''Importance of common names:''' I would prefer to use a temperament [[Temperament naming|named]] something fun like “waterslide” or “jinglebells” even if it has lots of error, over one named something dry and bland like “countertrihexakleismatic” even if it’s super [[damage|accurate]] and [[badness|technically better]] - a bland name can kill a temperament’s appeal, a fun name can create appeal out of nothing.

<br><br>

===Ratios as planets===

* '''[[11/8]], Pluto''', often dismissed outright due to having such a tiny gravitational pull. But it is a whole other type of ‘planet’, the first of a whole new family. When approached on its own terms, it opens up a larger, more diverse solar system than we ever knew existed.
