~~== Peoples' pages~~ and ~~progressreport pages? ==~~

I notice how people are adding their own names to this page, and given the nature of my contributions- having named the [[Quartisma]], the [[Alpharabian comma]], the [[Betarabian comma]], the [[Nexuma|Nexus comma]], the [[Symbiosma|Symbiotic comma]], the [[6250/6237|Liganellus comma]], and now, the [[936/935|Ainos comma]]- all within the span of a few months- as well as the fact that I'm currently contributing to SA's work, I'm starting to wonder if I myself should be listed on this page under my real name. However, I'm not entirely comfortable doing the writing myself as I already have enough ego issues. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 17:36, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

~~What is~~ the ~~point~~ of having ~~both~~ this page ~~and~~ the ~~ProgressReport page~~ (~~http~~:~~//xenharmonic.wikispaces.com/ProgressReport~~)?

~~A few persons already~~ have ~~"progress report" pages with nearly identical spellings~~ as the ~~personal pages~~ here. ~~We better put these together~~.

I don't have as many credentials as some of the other people here, and in fact, though I've been in band class in both middle school and high school, and had lessons from [https://www.meredith.edu/directory/tom-lohr Tom Lohr] in the past, there are a number of ways in which I'm self-taught when it comes to theory, especially in the realm of "Treble-Down Tonality", which I'm starting to introduce to the Xenharmonic community. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 17:43, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

: I think nothing speaks against adding yourself under you real name (or maybe also under your pseudonym). If you start a page under you real name, please write about yourself in the third person and not as Jim Sansing just did. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 17:56, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

~~This again brings the question up~~:

~~Why is the redirect function not available?~~

== Replace list page with category ==

I ~~think catching slightly different spellings will~~ be ~~a good thing~~.

I noticed that this list page provides no additional information aside from the names of people in the list in alphabetical order. In that sense, a category would probably be easier to maintain while losing no user-friendliness. The page title "People" could be made to redirect to the category page, such that mobile users could access it easily. It would require adding sort keys to each "person page", and possibly adding everyone to the "People" category on top of the more specific categories (e.g. Composer), but that is probably something that should be done anyway. Any thoughts? --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 20:11, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

: Agree, this list is doing work categories were made to do - [[User:Sintel|Sintel]] ([[User talk:Sintel|talk]]) 21:52, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

~~In the first place, a lot of people won't want to fill out some form for a "progress report". In the second place, how was anyone to know the page was there at all?~~
