Xenharmonic Wiki:WikiProject TempClean

Welcome to the TempClean WikiProject!

Goals

• To improve XenWiki's coverage of regular temperament theory in a way that can give beginners a chance to understand what the subject is about, what it is useful for, and the reasoning behind its conventions.
• To bring all articles on regular temperaments to an appropriate standard.
• To establish guidelines for articles on temperaments and temperament collections.

Scope

• This project covers all articles in the categories listed under "Categories under Jurisdiction".

Open Tasks

• Create a high-quality, encyclopedic article for every deemed-important temperament, rather than just stubs or endless unexplained tables.
• Revise all temperament collections and families to the ideal of specifying data in a compact, but more readable and directly useful manner.
  • Priority: Create reference sets of basic information that must be included in the above, although with the expectation of going beyond these sets.
• Add examples (of comma pumps, modal studies, and of course actual tracks) to as many articles as possible, to demonstrate the musical effectiveness of temperaments.
• Eliminate unnecessary traces of the former incremental-prime-limit approach to RTT, and make it easier to give subgroup temperaments and incomplete-limit temperaments their place.
• Rectify many names of temperaments that might be confusing or interfere with other uses of words, and assignments of names to rather unnatural extensions.
• Increase the level of didactics and beginner accessibility of content related to RTT, and further delineate masses of technical data from general-use temperament articles.
  • Priority: Complete the Technical data guide for regular temperaments and bring Temperament families and clans to a useful form.
• Establish a system to denote articles under the project's scope that demonstrate particular quality.

Tasks Promised by Members

• Lériendil: To finish the optimal tuning section of the data guide, and propose certain additions to temperament family pages (e.g. representations of prime harmonics with the optimal tunings).

• CompactStar: To finish the task of updating the remaining tritave-based temperament articles that are severely lacking (following the model of the Mintaka and Bohlen-Pierce-Stearns articles), and to merge the catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments into No-twos subgroup temperaments. To continue to upgrade the template for auto-generating temperament data given the initial specification.
