Temperament naming: Difference between revisions

Line 31:

* The previous name has not received much usage (considering usage by people other than the inventor/proposer of the name as more significant).

Therefore, if one finds oneself at an impasse, refer to this work in progress section and see how many bullet points are in favour of a name or rename.

Once a rename has been proposed and accepted, previous names may stay on the wiki for historical purposes, especially if external references exist, but should be moved out of the "spotlights" (lead section, infobox, etc.) to avoid the potential interpretation that these names are equally common/standard. It is important to note however that ''if'' there is nothing particularly wrong with the old name, then it is ''standard and common'' to let the old name coexist with the new name with the spirit that people can use whatever name they prefer.

This summary of conventions aims to be comprehensive but not exhaustive. Minor reasons may be included if they are abstract in nature rather than overly specific in application.
