: Well, JavaScript is much more than a tool that can be used in the wiki. What's your actual problem with this page? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 19:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

:: From my understanding, the goal of this page is to give examples of how to use JavaScript in the context of xenharmonic music (practice/theory). I think such examples could simply be listed, in a dedicated subsection if deemed necessary, on the page [[Software]] (or [[Useful Tools]]; but see [[Talk:Useful Tools]] for my suggestion to merge these two pages). If someone wants to add longer guides later, those should go on separate pages and could be linked as a "see also" link on the appropriate pages. As for the usage of JavaScript within the wiki, that would go on the help page I mentioned above. You're right that there are actually (at least) two separate use cases, so we might want to make this a disambiguation page instead of a simple redirect. I just don't think it's relevant to start having separate pages for each programming language which can be used to make xenharmonic music, unless there's really a lot of content to justify a split. --[[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 18:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

::: I agree. The aspects [https://www.w3.org/TR/webaudio/ WebAudio], [https://p5js.org/ p5.js], [https://processing.org/ Processing] can easily be listed in [[Software]] (or whatever the lemma should be). Regarding redirection, however, we should keep in mind that JavaScript belongs less to the realm of advanced formatting and more to that of user interface customization. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]])
