It seems the proposal for making the temperament material more accessible has failed. To the extent possible, we should try not to obligate newcomers to learn RTT at all, so we should be especially careful to ensure that RTT aspects of tunings are presented in a more modular fashion, cleanly separated from parts intended for a general audience. It is also important to ensure that temperaments are not overemphasized in proportion to the extent they are actually used, so that newcomers will have an accurate understanding of how important RTT actually is before deciding whether to invest a lot of time to learn it.

# A temperament should not be mentioned at all (in particular temperament names should not be used to name scales or generator ranges), unless at least one of the following criteria is satisfied:

#* The temperament has been used in at least 20 compositions (for example, a 1L6s MOS in a porcupine tuning, or pumps the porcupine comma). For this purpose the composer should state that they're using the temperament; mentioning the temperament by name suffices.

Pages on which this temperament restriction policy is active should be clearly marked for editors, with the template [[User:IlL/Template:RTT restriction]].

Pages subject to this policy include:

* MOS patterns

* edos smaller than [[41edo]]

Sections or subpages within RTT-restricting articles that are specifically dedicated to describing temperaments are not subject to this policy. These are to be marked with the template [[User:IlL/Template:RTT notice]].
