Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject TempClean: Difference between revisions

; Goals

* To improve XenWiki's coverage of regular temperament theory in a way that can give beginners a chance to understand what the subject is about, what it is useful for, and the reasoning behind its conventions.

* To bring all articles on regular temperaments to an appropriate standard.

* To establish guidelines for articles on temperaments and temperament collections.

; Scope

* This project covers all articles in the categories listed under "Categories under Jurisdiction".

== Open tasks ==

* Create a high-quality, encyclopedic article for every deemed-important temperament, rather than just stubs or endless unexplained tables.

* Revise all temperament collections and families to the ideal of specifying data in a compact, but more readable and directly useful manner.

** '''Priority''': Create reference sets of basic information that must be included in the above, although with the expectation of going beyond these sets.

* Add examples (of comma pumps, modal studies, and of course actual tracks) to as many articles as possible, to demonstrate the musical effectiveness of temperaments.

* Eliminate unnecessary traces of the former incremental-prime-limit approach to RTT, and make it easier to give subgroup temperaments and incomplete-limit temperaments their place.

* Rectify many names of temperaments that might be confusing or interfere with other uses of words, and assignments of names to rather unnatural extensions.

* Increase the level of didactics and beginner accessibility of content related to RTT, and further delineate masses of technical data from general-use temperament articles.

** '''Priority''': Complete the [[Technical data guide for regular temperaments]] and bring [[Temperament families and clans]] to a useful form.

* Establish a system to denote articles under the project's scope that demonstrate particular quality.

=== Tasks promised by members ===

* [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]]: To finish the optimal tuning section of the [[Technical data guide for regular temperaments|data guide]], and propose certain additions to temperament family pages (e.g. representations of prime harmonics with the optimal tunings).

* [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]: To finish the task of updating the remaining [[tritave]]-based temperament articles that are severely lacking (following the model of the [[Mintaka]] and [[Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns]] articles), and to merge the [[catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments]] into [[No-twos subgroup temperaments]]. To continue to upgrade the template for auto-generating temperament data given the initial specification.

* [[User:2^67-1|Cole]]: To add more audio examples to deserving pages (and to add musical properties of important temperaments).

=== Proposals for future direction ===

* [[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]]:  

** The addition of prime harmonic tunings (in a collapsible table) to technical data references.

* [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]: The mass rename of "temperament clan" articles to "temperament family" articles (to undo some of the prime-limit-centrism) and specifying the rank of the existing "temperament family" articles if not defined by a 5-limit single-comma.
