| A few conventions have evolved in this wiki that would be good to keep consistent with.
| | #REDIRECT [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Manual of Style]] |
| | |
| (please feel free to add conventions in use here, and please provide reasons for it! Thanks!)
| |
| | |
| == Decimal numbers ==
| |
| | |
| Use the English convention with decimal point. (Exception: quotes or entire articles in other language)
| |
| | |
| {| class="wikitable"
| |
| ! correct
| |
| ! wrong (example)
| |
| |-
| |
| | style="background-color: #efe" | 701.995
| |
| | style="background-color: #fee" | <s>701,995</s>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| == Logarithmic interval measures ==
| |
| | |
| For normal tables, we decided to stick to [[cent]] values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the [[12edo]] system of western music. Alternative [[interval size measure]]s are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. but "competing" columns with logarithmic sizes in the same table should usually be avoided.
| |
| | |
| == Links ==
| |
| | |
| Links - both wiki-internal and external ones - should have meaningful text; something like "[[Conventions|here]]" is not very useful for understanding and orientation, often the page title is a good starting point.
| |
| | |
| : ''For more info see [[Help:Here-links]]''
| |
| | |
| Internal links should be as precise as possible. So, for example, if you follow a link that promises a definition of a term you don't know, it's not helpful if it brings you to an article full of new information and the expected definition hidden in a massive amount of text. (there is still a lot to be done in this area)
