As an alternative, if the topic is just equivalence, then "interval" need not appear in the title and we could just go with ''equivalence (notation)'', ''notational equivalence'', or ''enharmonic equivalence''.

Wrong terminology

This is confusing enharmonic for equivalence just becuz 12edo happens to have that kind of equivalence. Enharmonic intervals don't imply equivalence. For example C# and Db are enharmonic intervals in 19edo, but not equivalent. I think this article might be titled equivalent interval, or for better distinction from interval of equivalence / equave, it could be notationally equivalent interval or at least enharmonically equivalent interval, to build on what is abstracted in the Nominal-accidental chain article.

As an alternative, if the topic is just equivalence, then "interval" need not appear in the title and we could just go with equivalence (notation), notational equivalence, or enharmonic equivalence.
