-So... this is why you were interested the the Alpharabian comma...  I have to admit I'm surprised that a comma I only recently named has come into your focus...  Suffice to say that I like your proposed temperament name.  Nevertheless, this temperament seems to belong on a page for the [[Alpharabian family]] of temperaments. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
+So... this is why you were interested the the Alpharabian comma...  I have to admit I'm surprised that a comma I only recently named has come into your focus...  Suffice to say that I like your proposed temperament name of "Quasiquarter".  Nevertheless, this particular temperament seems to belong on a page for the [[Alpharabian family]] of temperaments. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
+One more thing...  I think I'll let you do the honor of filling in the info on the Alpharabian family temperament page... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 18:54, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
+: This temperament was found during my exploration of 212edo. Actually, your description of the Alpharabian comma never impressed me. At first I thought it was a brand new comma cuz my comprehension of it was the difference of a whole tone and a stack of four 33/32 quartertones, and I was even thinking about names. Turns out it's identical to your findings.
+: As for how it belongs to temperament pages, here's the current naming scheme in this wiki (thoroughly figured out):
+: If X is a 3- or 5-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out.
+: If X is a 7-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out, and ''X temperaments'' is for rank-2 temperaments that temper it out (''X clan'' if the comma is a subgroup comma). See: [[Marvel family]], [[Marvel temperaments]].
+: If X is an 11-limit comma, ''X family'' is for rank-4 temperaments that temper it out, and ''X temperaments'' is for rank-3 temperaments that temper it out. If the ''X family'' page isn't there (as it doesn't have many 13-limit branches), in ''X temperaments'' there is a brief of the rank-4 temperaments. See: [[Keenanismic family]], [[Valinorsmic temperaments]], [[Kalismic temperaments]].
+: If X is an 13-limit comma, afaik there are only three such pages: [[The Archipelago]], [[The Biosphere]], [[Marveltwin]], which list temperaments of various ranks.
+: Following on, I suggest moving the ''Alpharabian family'' to ''Alpharabian temperaments''. ''Betarabian'' may be listed in both [[Rastmic temperaments]] and ''Alpharabian temperaments''. This 22 & 46 & 72 temperament was meant to be listed in the to-be-created ''Keenanismic temperaments'', but maybe viable for both.

+:: I have to admit I don't have the authorization to move pages myself...  On another note, I'm curious... when did you find the Alpharabian comma for yourself? --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 06:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
+::: There's no authorization to move pages, is there?
+::: I found the comma just a few days ago. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 07:35, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
+:::: Yeah, I found the Alpharabian comma in like October...  I mean, chances are I'll be going through the 2.3.11 subgroup further in order to develop my concept of [[Alpharabian tuning]]. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 15:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
+:::: '''Moving pages''' (which is the same as renaming) does not require special rights. There is a button [Move] for this. In Vector skin (which I guess you are currently using, look at the Preferences page, section Appearance), it's hidden in the [More] menu (button). Only in cases where the targeted page already exists, and therefore must be deleted, operator rights are required. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 07:57, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
+::::: Ah... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 15:29, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
