You've created a few pages which are not considered notable enough for the wiki. You might want to read the [[notability guidelines]]. Specifically, you created pages about very complex intervals (with high [[prime limit]] or large numerator/denominator) that are also large enough (more than one cent at that complexity) that they aren't useful for tempering out. It's true that there are more complex intervals documented on the wiki, like [[393216/390625]], but these intervals are notable because tempering them out leads to useful structures with a somewhat small [[prime limit]]; in the notability guidelines, we would consider them notable by community content, theoretical value, or practical application.

You've also created at least one page for an equal division of an interval other than the octave. These pages could be fine as long as there is interesting theory behind those divisions--perhaps they represent [[just intonation]] very accurately, or they are used in non-Western musical cultures. The page you created, [[8ed6]] happened to have a neat relation to the [[wuerschmidt]] temperament, so there was some interesting theory behind that division. As a result, the page was marked as [[niche]] rather than being deleted. But this was something of a lucky outcome for you--if there was no connection to wuerschmidt, the page might have been deleted due to not fitting the notability guidelines.

I see that you've joined the XA Discord--if you're wondering whether a page you're considering creating meets notability guidelines, feel free to ask in the #wiki channel. You can also create any page you want on your userspace. --[[User:Hkm|hkm]] ([[User talk:Hkm|talk]]) 20:27, 20 July 2025 (UTC)
