== Notice regarding temperament pages ==

The established practice on the wiki is to not create pages for individual temperaments before their technical data is recorded on a family page, and in general to not create pages for individual temperaments without there being cause for a greater exploration of a temperament than is available on a family page like [[Escapade family]]. In the case of your page, Sharpquart (which has since been deleted because the temperament interpretation come up with for that generator already exists, as [[Keemic temperaments #Chromo|Chromo]]), you did not provide this sort of exploration. You displayed a fundamental misunderstanding of what a temperament is (by declaring a generator of "exactly 53.5 cents"), as it is explicit that temperaments are not the same thing as scale structures. If you wanted to record on the wiki a scale family generated using that generator, it would be better served in the form of a Scala file like many pages on the wiki are.

You are not obligated to understand the mathematical concepts presented on the wiki, but only ''if you are not to claim any one of the ideas you place on the wiki'' to be an instance of such a concept. You ''are'' obligated to explain what xenharmonic interest, however niche, your ideas might possess, or to express them in a way where it seems plausible that they have such interest. I understand that you may think of the wiki as being created by people doing much the same thing you are, and the preponderance of often unhelpful temperaments doesn't help to dispel such notions. However, even if the people who wrote up most of the contents of the temperament family pages ''were'' like you in mind (and I don't believe they were, the quality of their contributions notwithstanding), the current wiki holds itself to a higher standard than it once had, and all you would be doing is adding to, rather than ameliorating, the wiki's problem.

Some people believe that you should receive a temporary block on the wiki; I will not act on that on my own initiative. Therefore, consider this a warning. --[[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 16:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
