::: Oh, great! Huygens-Fokker Foundation's list of intervals you referenced in the first paragraph of this section. It can help me to explain to you what is that very characteristic of communication problems I can see in the musicians. In the list, you can see the set of rational-number intervals and some names. Hopefully, all rational numbers in the list are irreducible fractions. What information does this page carry? Next to nothing. The only possible use is this: when you already got some interval from some other source, say, from your own calculation, you can check up: is it one of the well-known intervals or not, and, if it is, what is its well-known name? Even this information has some uncertainty, because, strictly speaking, "well-known" is something uncertain, so the only definitive information you get is this: is my interval on the Huygens-Fokker Foundation's list? :-). And yes, this is exactly what you've checked in this case. You cannot learn anything about any of the concrete commas from this page. For the contrast example, look at any good Wikipedia page. Sometimes you can start from some reference and end up with the study of an entire field of science... — [[User:SAKryukov|SA]], ''Tuesday 2020 December 1, 02:06 UTC''

== Remaining bugs? ==
Hello SAKryukov, <br>
Meanwhile the wiki configuration problems are found an fixed, so most bugs should have disappeared now. The only remaining bug I know about is <code><nowiki>{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}</nowiki></code> returning <code>{{NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS}}</code> which contradicts the user list filtered after the same criterion: [[Special:ActiveUsers]]. Is there anything else? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 14:32, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
: The NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS bug is in MediaWiki itself (see [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T140079 T140079]). --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 14:52, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
: Thank you for the note! It's funny that I recently tried to output most of the statistics with those magic words and noticed 2 NUMBEROFACTIVEUSERS. But also, I can see that the style problem with a margin or padding on the right from an external link is still there. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Tuesday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;1,&nbsp;15:27&nbsp;UTC''
:: Show me please an example of such a case. To my knowledge, external links (except those using interwiki syntax) have a background icon. For example [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki – Wikipedia]&bull;[https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki – Wikipedia] and  [[Wikipedia: Wiki]]&bull;[[Wikipedia: Wiki]]. In Vector the spacing seems alright to me. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:17, 1 December 2020 (UTC), Same in MinervaNeue and in MonoBook. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:20, 1 December 2020 (UTC), same in Timeless and Legacy Vector. ''When'' did you see the "style problem"? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 20:23, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
::: Sure, I already reported it before and you've admitted it was a problem. Okay. let's compare next two lines:
:::: [[User:SAKryukov|link]] words after inner link
:::: [http://www.SAKryukov.org link] words after external link
:::: See the difference? Due to this problem, you  cannot, for example, put a comma after an external link text (such as "link" in this example), and so on...
:::: — Thank you! &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Tuesday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;1,&nbsp;20:33&nbsp;UTC''
::::: As already stated, wikis are for collaborating on ideas not platforms for publishing papers or books. The external links are marked with a prominent formatting so that you can see that you are leaving the wiki if you follow them. They are also not checked for resolvability. Try to take the icon after the link text as just another letter, there is nothing that will be done to "fix" this, it really is a feature. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:37, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
:::::: If it smells like a bug, swims like a bug... I think even you will understand it's just a mere bug, and not a feature. If you're talking of the feature and not a bug, the visual clue for external links, as opposed to internal ones, is, for example, in Wikipedia. It's something like
:::::: <code>a.external::after { content: url('external-link.webp'); }</code> Not too hard, right? &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Sunday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;6,&nbsp;20:54&nbsp;UTC''
::::::: Sorry I'm really not getting what you're after. I just compared the CSS here with that in Wikipedia. No substantial difference. Both use for external links a padding of 13px (for the background-image). But maybe I'm just too stupid? In that case you better report this ''bug'' to [[User:Tyler Henthorn|Tyler Henthorn]] or [[User:Mike Battaglia|Mike Battaglia]]. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
:::::::: Interestingly, I can see some confusion here. Naturally, before posting it I look at Wikipedia and saw: no padding (naturally, it's not informative and looks like a mere bug), but an "external link" bitmap instead, which is perfectly clear. Don't we look at different Wikipedia? :-) I did quite recently, about the time of my previous post. Or do you use non-standard browser or non-browser? Okay, look, for example here, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtonal_music#External_links look at the external links]. No margins/padding, nothing, just a glyph. I also read the discussion on this matter: people tried to introduce a code point "external links" for this purpose, which would provide the best solution, but the committee did no accept it. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Sunday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;6,&nbsp;22:08&nbsp;UTC''
:::::::: Also, I'm trying to segregate our Wiki discussion from the main talk by moving these topics to my sub-page [[User talk:SAKryukov/Wiki|User talk:SAKryukov/Wiki]], already moved old content except this section. Would you be comfortable to track the discussion there, if I move this section as well? &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Sunday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;6,&nbsp;22:12&nbsp;UTC''
::::::::: Well, move it, no problem. You are using Chrome? --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 22:38, 6 December 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::: I'll do this after posting the present reply. I use many browsers and test everything using them. I mostly use Vivaldi, which I highly recommend. It is equivalent to Chrome/Chromium (Blink+V8), just controls/options are a lot better. Unfortunately, for advanced development Blink+V8 is the only option. Even more unfortunately, all Mozilla stuff is left behind precisely because of audio stuff: it has a critical defect in rendering sounds with Web Audio. Opera and newest Microsoft Edge (not even beginning of 2020, but later Blink+V8 (Chromium) version) work fine, but recently I faced and unforgivable defect: it Edge does not support AV1 codec, which is a present-day top video standard of near-impossible fantastic quality, compression level, and responsiveness. &mdash;&nbsp;[[User:SAKryukov|SA]],&nbsp;''Sunday&nbsp;2020&nbsp;December&nbsp;6,&nbsp;23:32&nbsp;UTC''
