:::: Apologies, I didn't realize someone had changed the Horcrux names already so what I said is not fully true. I also want to make clear that I do appreciate your consideration. I think much of this would go more smoothly if there was a more official/standard process for names and the occasional renames. I am working on that right now. I would be grateful if anyone wants to improve what I will add. Ideally though, if it is not a convention that will likely be taken as uncontroversial, then discuss it first in the corresponding talk page.

::::: While it is not quite finished yet (EG it is pending contribution and opinions of more users plus I have yet to reread it in its entirety one last time and see if anything else comes to mind in the way of missing points or rewordings for clarity), please take a look at what I have so far here: [[Temperament naming #Temperament/comma (re)naming conventions]]. I've vetted a simplified version of it with FloraC and Fredg999. Note also that almost every point for renaming applies to the situation for [[256/255]]; it got me thinking about that there ought to be a set of conventions by which renames can be judged as not inherently controversial, especially if there are many points in favour of them. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 19:16, 9 January 2024 (UTC)

:::: The suffix "-isma" sometimes appears its no-''i'' form, "-sma" (eg. [[2401/2400|breedsma]]), as well as its adjectival form "-ismic" (sometimes "-smic"). It is within the convention of the naming of commas and associated temperaments, not an exception. The word "[[Wiktionary:charisma|charisma]]" originally means personal charm or the ability to influence without logic, so it is unlikely to understand referring to char (8-bit byte). For clarification, the interval 256/255 should be called "char comma" or "charsma", and its associated rank-6 temperament "char temperament" or "charsmic". --[[User:Xenllium|Xenllium]] ([[User talk:Xenllium|talk]]) 13:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

::::: Good point, I've added it to the [[temperament and comma naming conventions]] ([https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=Temperament_naming&type=revision&diff=131974&oldid=131666 relevant diff here]), but in this case it ruins the pun with the English words "charisma" and "charismic" (which was one of the motivations of the proposal). --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 14:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

::::: Just in case, I added [https://en.xen.wiki/index.php?title=256%2F255&type=revision&diff=131984&oldid=131926 Not to be confused with Horcrux] to [[256/255]] too. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 14:55, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
