==== Extensions ====

If you are documenting an [[extension]] to a base temperament, especially in the [[13-limit]] and higher where multiple primes may dictate conflicting tuning tendencies, do so only if the extension:

* is the best available extension to the given [[subgroup]]/[[prime limit|limit]] in a specific tuning subrange of the base temperament, OR

* is particularly simple compared to other extensions to the same subgroup, OR

* splits the base temperament's [[generator]]s in a nontrivial way and is better than other extensions to do the same by either of the above criteria

If the extension is to a subgroup that does not fill out a prime limit, it should be explained why it is natural or reasonable to consider this.

=== Tables of commas ===

Only include commas which are [[tempered out]] by at least one low-badness [[temperament]] in a non-absurd, non-arbitrary subgroup, AND which are important for defining that temperament (not incidental).

([[List of superparticular intervals]] is an exception in that that page explicitly intends to include ''all'' superparticulars within a given limit.)

=== Entries that don't meet the above criteria ===

List them on your own user page instead.
