Move to "Schismic family"
-ismatic is non-standard for temperaments -- VectorGraphics (talk) 07:18, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
- Schismic is systematic though, and much more common. We don't say "ragismatic" or "kleismatic". And for the family of temperaments (which is only a modern xen concept derived from the historical concept of schismatic temperament), it makes sense to use the systematic name. -- VectorGraphics (talk) 21:30, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
- It's a Greek third declension noun. This pattern is pretty common: dogma - dogmatic, drama - dramatic, trauma - traumatic. I don't care what happens with neologisms like ragismic. "Much more common" no it's not. A quick look at some literature makes this pretty clear. – Sintel🎏 (talk) 13:16, 20 June 2025 (UTC)
