::: I agree with Unque that microtonal is too limiting, but I disagree that "musical tuning" is the appropriate term. "Tuning systems" is more accurate, and also open enough to not exclude anything. -- [[User:Nick Vuci|Nick Vuci]] ([[User talk:Nick Vuci|talk]]) 22:23, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

:::: Happy to do that :)

:::: '''New proposed wording:'''

:::: "The Xenharmonic Wiki is an open resource for information about [[musical tuning|music tuning systems]]: primarily [[xenharmonic music]] but also [[historical tunings]] and those of [[world musical traditions]]. This information includes tuning systems and their relationships, [[theory]], [[math]], and [[practice]]."

:::: --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 22:27, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

::::: Not bad, my own suggestion for wording would be:

:::::"The Xenharmonic Wiki is an open resource dedicated to musical tuning systems, focusing on xenharmonic music while also documenting historical tunings and tuning practices from world traditions. It covers the theory and practical applications of these systems."

::::: -- [[User:Nick Vuci|Nick Vuci]] ([[User talk:Nick Vuci|talk]]) 22:32, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

:::::: I am in favour of Nick's wording here :)

:::::: Here is where I would put links in it:

:::::::: On the XA Discord, [[Lériendil]] also said he likes this latest version, so that's 4 people in favour so far (Nick, me, Lucius, Lériendil), looking promising so far :)

I put the link on ''tuning system'' instead of ''musical tuning''. —[[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:41, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

== Popular topics ==

In the popular topics section, there should be a brief description of what each topic is after the bullet point; no more than a few words long. For example, [[Just Intonation]] can be described as "a tuning system based on rational frequency ratios". This will guide new readers and have them not need to click links obliviously.--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 10:26, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

: I support this proposal --[[User:BudjarnLambeth|BudjarnLambeth]] ([[User talk:BudjarnLambeth|talk]]) 23:39, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

: I came up with an exact proposed revision; see [[User:Overthink/Draft edits#Main page]]. Feel free to leave any suggestions for further changes. Note that the text at the beginning that reads

<pre>

{{Interwiki

| de = Hauptseite

| es = Bienvenidos

| ja = メインページ

| ro = Pagina Principală

| zh = 主页

}}__NOTOC__

</pre>

: isn't included on the draft page to avoid issues; the content on the draft page only contains what is to be included after this text.--[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 06:16, 13 January 2026 (UTC)

== Small but useful change ==

It would be a good idea to link [[Xenharmonic Wiki]] in the very first sentence. This lets readers know what this website is about, while hardly being disruptive. --[[User:Overthink|Overthink]] ([[User talk:Overthink|talk]]) 05:28, 7 February 2026 (UTC)
