If you are unsure about meeting the below criteria, make it a '''user page'''.

If the page is about '''an [[equal-step tuning|equal tuning]] (ET)''', proceed with caution. You need to be able to write at least a paragraph of manual, human-written content, which must not consist of simple, superficial observations that can be ''easily obtained'' by someone just looking at tables already provided on the ET page (for instance "this EDO performs well in the 2.9.15.11.17.23 subgroup" is easily readable from the table of harmonics generally provided right below such a statement, and is therefore considered trivial to derive), and must in some way ''point uniquely'' to that specific ET ("this EDO tempers out [comma]" or "this EDO supports [temperament]" ''on their own'' do not specify why that particular ET is important as a tuning thereof). If you can do all of that, it can be a main space page, otherwise, it should be a user page. But note also the following:

If the page is about '''an [[equal-step tuning|equal tuning]] (ET)''', proceed with caution.

* ~~All pages~~ for [[~~EDO~~]]~~s and~~ [[~~EDT~~]]s ~~below~~ a ~~few hundred have already been created~~, ~~implying the remainder of~~ ET ~~pages either have~~ hundreds or thousands of steps ~~(putting a greater burden on notability that way)~~, ~~or have obscure [[equave]]~~s (~~which need further justification for considering~~ in the ~~first place~~).

If the page is to be in main space, it must meet ALL the following criteria:

* We require that any new pages on EDOs, ~~EDTs~~, ~~etc.~~ to ~~be linked to from~~ the ~~main~~ page "~~EDO~~", ~~"EDT", etc. itself; these links have~~ to ~~be inserted manually for EDOs over 1000 and EDTs over 300. Consider the fact that~~ the EDO ~~page is semi-protected into the calculation~~.

* At least one or more full paragraphs of ''thoughtful'', ''human-written'' content. The following types of content DO NOT count towards this:

** Tables, boxes or sentences auto-generated by templates

** AI-generated text

** Simple, superficial observations, e.g.:

*** "this ET performs well in the 2.9.15.11.17.23 subgroup"

*** "this ET tempers out x comma"

*** "this ET supports temperament"

Those are all still useful things to include, but only if you actually describe how they relate to this temperament and what that means for musicians or composers.

If you are making a main space page for an ET with an unusual [[equave]] or [[period]] (e.g. ED5/3, ED7, ED8/7, etc.), then there must be a VERY reason why it's important, otherwise it should be a user page.

If you are making a main space page for an EDO, EDT, or other ET with hundreds or thousands of steps, then there must be an EXTREMELY good reason why it's important, otherwise it should be a user page.

Any time you make a new ED(n) page in main space, you MUST place a link to it on the page for "ED(n)". For example, if you make a page for 59ed5/4, you must place a link to it on the page "Ed5/4". Or if you make a page for 7465edo, you must place a link to it on the page "EDO".
