Xenharmonic Wiki:Manual of Style/MOS pages: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

For guidance on how to expand or improve existing pages, this page's sections provide on what to include, and how to name each section. Sections should be added ''as needed''. Sections in ''italics'' do not denote actual sections, but rather items to add in addition to existing sections or outside of any section. This page uses 5L 2s as its running example.

Scale name is included in the lead section rather than its own section, since the main focus of a mos page is ''what it is'', not ''what it's called''. For TAMNAMS-named scales, this is accomplished using the [[Template:TAMNAMS name|TAMNAMS name]] template; in most cases, this is enough information. A name section ''may'' be added if there are contentious names (EG, misnomers), or an in-depth explanation is needed, but for TAMNAMS-named scales, the template already includes either further reasoning or a link to said reasoning.

'''Disclaimer''': as this guide cannot account for every possible use case, editors are advised to use their best judgment on what to add or not. Additionally, nothing about this guide is set in stone; this guide can (and should!) be updated to fit current developments regarding mos pages.
