 Can we talk about [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Conventions#Lists]]? Why is it discouraged to use standard Wikitext lists?? Can we have a vote or something? —[[User:Keenan Pepper|Keenan Pepper]] ([[User talk:Keenan Pepper|talk]]) 18:57, 30 September 2018 (UTC)

+== 2 or 3 digits ==
+Giving two options for the number of digits isn't really useful if we want consistency... I just changed the [[15edo#Commas]] table's values to 3 digits because I had checked [[17edo#Commas]] and that table used 3 digits, but apparently that one was the exception, not the reverse? Would it make sense to use 3 digits everywhere? Of course it's not urgent, but I'd rather stick to one standard rather than two, so that at least when we're making decisions, they're not arbitrary or random. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 02:25, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
+: I would be in favour of using 3 digits everywhere. --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 02:38, 7 July 2023 (UTC)
+== Template:` and Template:`s ==
+> <nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki> and <nowiki>{{`s}}</nowiki> can be used to additionally prevent the last letter from intersecting the apostrophe or quote.
+Is there really a point in this? We're not typesetting newspapers. Plus, <code><nowiki>{{`s}}</nowiki></code> is simply equivalent to <code><nowiki>{{`}}</nowiki>s</code>, no? —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 20:50, 26 January 2026 (UTC)
+: I made <nowiki>{{`s}}</nowiki> since I thought <nowiki>{{`}}s</nowiki> was a little awkward compared to having them together.
+: Also, placing an apostrophe after certain letters, such as f or T, can cause the apostrophe to interfere with the letter. Compare:
+:: ''f''{{'s}} (<code><nowiki>''f''{{'s}}</nowiki></code>, no space)
+: and
+:: ''f''{{`s}} (<code><nowiki>''f''{{`s}}</nowiki></code>, with space)
+: I know we're not typesetting newspapers and whatnot, but I think this little tweak is worth it. [[User:ArrowHead294|<math>\overrightarrow{\,\,\scriptsize\text{ArrowHead294}\,\,\,}</math>]] [[User talk:ArrowHead294|(speak to me)]] 00:40, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
+:: Yeah, but the <code>s</code> in <code><nowiki>{{`s}}</nowiki></code> is semantically meaningless for the markup language and is part of the content text instead. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 05:25, 28 January 2026 (UTC)
