== Revision proposal by Sintel ==

As the new staff on the wiki, we plan to propound edits to the main page (since much of its content and linkage is rather obsolete at this point) on a basis established by community consensus. This page should be the place to discuss proposed revisions, suggested by admins and non-admins. New proposals will be published on the [[~~Xenharmonic Wiki~~:Daily newsfeed|daily newsfeed]], once that page is established, as well.

To that end, Sintel has suggested two preliminary changes:

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

| en = Main Page

| 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)
