'''I am more interested in the way [[regular temperament theory]] looked before ~~2010~~, rather than the direction it has taken since ~~2020~~. Is there a wiki that preserves that?'''

'''I am more interested in the way [[regular temperament theory]] looked before the 2010s, rather than the direction it has taken since then. Is there a wiki that preserves that?'''

* Yes. You can find that at the [https://legacy.xen.wiki/w/Main_Page Legacy Xenharmonic Wiki].

'''How do I create a user page?'''

* Search "User:YourUsername/ThePageTitleYouWant" in the search bar (e.g. "User:JohnDoe/The arrowroot biscuit scale".

* Search "User:YourUsername/ThePageTitleYouWant" in the search bar (e.g. "User:JohnDoe/The arrowroot biscuit scale").

* It will then say "There is currently no text in this page. You can search for this page title in other pages, search the related logs, or create this page."

* Click "create this page" and then you will be taken to an editing window to create the user page.

'''[[How do I actually use a rank-3 temperament?]]''' (Please make a step-by-step guide of how to go from the 3 generators at the start, to a [[Scala]] file that works with [[software|Scale Workshop]] at the end? Every step of the way, explain like I’m five?)

* A good way of generating scales for rank-3 temperament's is [[hobbit]] scales, which are sort of like MOS scales except for higher-rank temperaments. I don't think this will answer the full question, though.

* ''in the mean time until this question is answered, see: [[Rank-3 temperament]]''
