==== (name changes I was involved in) ====
===== Correcting confusing names =====
* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “septimal temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because of its potential for confusion with other uses of the term “septimal”. I decided I wanted to change it. Many people on [[Discord]], the Wiki Workgroup on [[XA Facebook]], and the wiki talk page agreed. I coined the new name “'''[[7th-octave temperaments#Austinpowers|austinpowers temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.
* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “decades temperament”. Some people on the XA Discord said that they disliked it due to its convoluted etymology. I coined the new name “'''[[gamelstearn|gamelstearn temperament]]'''” based on its two defining commas. After a few days, not many people commented or reacted to the proposal, but all were in favour and none were against, so the name "gamelstearn" was adopted.
* There used to be two temperaments named “semidim temperament”. To resolve the confusion, after discussion on the XA Discord, myself and [[Lériendil]] came up with new names for each of the two temperaments. Lériendil coined “[[ammon|ammon temperament]]” for the first, and I coined “'''[[octonion|octonion temperament]]'''” for the second.
* There was an old comma that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “the erogluisma”. Its original namer posted on [[Discord]] that he no longer liked it, and would like someone to please rename it. I coined the new name “'''[[1682/1681|the shaftesburisma]]'''” which has now replaced it.
* Someone else described a new comma and named it “the shikanokonokonokokoshitantanma”. This name was kept, but it was too long for some use cases, so I invented an alternate short version - “'''[[nokotan|the nokotan]]'''” - for use cases where a shorter name is needed.
* The comma “68630377364883 / 68630356164608” was too long to be referred to by its number alone, it needed a name instead. So I named it “'''[[zudilisma|the zudilisma]]'''”.
===== Correcting divisive or hurtful names =====
* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “catcall temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because it was demeaning to women. I decided I wanted to change it. Many people on [[Discord]] and on the wiki talk page agreed. I coined the new name “'''[[catnip|catnip temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.
* There was an old temperament that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “catamite temperament”. When I discovered the name, I disliked it because it referenced a historical practice that often involved child abuse. I decided I wanted to change it. I suggested the change on the talk page where it received no replies, and the Discord where it received few reactions but those it did receive were in favour. I coined the new name “'''[[Amity family#Stalagmite|stalagmite temperament]]'''” which has now replaced it.
* There was an old comma that pre-dated my participation in the wiki. Its old, original name was “the Buddhisma”. There was nothing wrong with that name in and of itself, the problem is that it was explicitly stated to be named after the anti-Muslim group the 969 Movement, and the comma number was 969/968. I thought this was inappropriate, so I proposed a few replacement names on [[Discord]]. Of the names I coined “'''[[969/968|the kingfisher comma]]'''” was the clear favourite, so I renamed the comma to the kingfisher comma.
