| A few conventions have evolved in this wiki that would be good to keep consistent with.

| == Decimal numbers ==
| |
| Use the English convention with decimal point, when articles are in English language (which is mostly the case).

| ==Logarithmic interval measures ==
| |
| For normal tables, we decided to stick to [[cent|cent]] values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with, which helps in the development of table creators such as [[Piotr Grochowski]]'s [https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/249278782/ one for Selected just intervals by error]. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the [[12edo|12edo]] system of western music. Alternative measures are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. More than one logarithmic size column should be avoided.

| == Links ==
| |
| Links - both wiki-internal and external ones - should have meaningful text; something like "[[Conventions|here]]" is not very useful for understanding and orientation, often the page title is a good starting point.
