=== Accessibility formatting guidelines for presenting RTT in non-temperament pages ===

To the ~~extent possible, we should try not to obligate newcomers to learn ''Regular Temperament Theory'' ([[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.

What's the best way to present RTT information in EDO and MOS pages?

'''Proposal:''' On a page intended to be read by a general audience and those unfamiliar with RTT,

'''Original Proposal:''' <s>On a page intended to be read by a general audience and those unfamiliar with RTT,

# A temperament (meaning an [[abstract regular 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.

Line 174:

Pages currently subject to this policy are:

* MOS patterns 10 notes or smaller

* edos between [[5edo]] and [[39edo]] (inclusive)

* edos between [[5edo]] and [[39edo]] (inclusive)<s/>
