This is a '''guide for where to put and/or find temperament data'''.

{{Note| You can use <code>XW:TEMPCAT</code> as a shortcut to this page. }}

{{Note| As this guide cannot account for all edge cases, editors are advised to use their best judgement on where to put and/or find temperament data. Additionally, nothing about this guide is set in stone; this guide can (and should!) be updated to fit current developments regarding temperament pages. }}

== General rules ==

Avoid duplication. A temperament should be catalogued exactly once on the wiki.

# Avoid duplication. A temperament should be catalogued exactly once on the wiki.

# Equal temperaments must be discussed in individual [[edo]] pages. The rest of this guide only concerns multirank temperaments.

== Families, clans, and collections ==

For example:

* ~~Hemiwürschmidt~~ is found in ~~Hemimean~~ clan, ''not'' ~~Würschmidt~~ family, since it is a strong extension of ~~didacus~~, the head of the ~~hemimean~~ clan, and only a weak extension of ~~würschmidt~~;

* Mothra is found in Gamelismic clan, ''not'' Meantone family, since it is a strong extension of slendric, the head of the gamelismic clan, and only a weak extension of meantone;

* Dominant is found in Meantone family, since 2.3.5 is simpler than 2.3.7, but schism is found in Archytas clan, since the archytas comma is more "structural" to the temperament.

=== Fractional-octave temperaments and comma pages ===

Unless necessary, putting temperament data in these pages should generally be avoided. Fractional-octave temperament pages have poor discoverability, whereas temperament data in comma pages tend to be intrusive for average readers.

Unless necessary, putting temperament data in these pages should generally be avoided. Fractional-octave temperament pages have poor discoverability, whereas temperament data in comma pages tend to be intrusive for average readers, and both have poor interoperability as they unnecessarily isolate certain temperaments from the rest.
