=== Revision proposal by Budjarn ver. 2 (Oct 2025) ===

Because the first proposal failed to gain traction, I decided to reword it a bit and propose it again. The changes are to reflect the fact that, in practice, the wiki is mostly about xenharmonics (so as not to mislead readers who are looking for comprehensive info on world/historical tunings), while still making it very clear that articles about world/historical tunings are still allowed and encouraged.

; Old wording

"The [[Xenharmonic Wiki]] is an open resource for information about [[musical tuning]]. This information includes tuning systems and their relationships, [[theory]], [[math]], and [[practice]]."

; New proposed wording:

"The Xenharmonic Wiki is an open resource for information about [[microtonal music]]: primarily [[xenharmonic music]] but also [[historical tunings]] and those of [[world musical traditions]]. This information includes tuning systems and their relationships, [[theory]], [[math]], and [[practice]]."

Everyone is encouraged to please reply on this talk page to discuss this proposal. Even if you only want to say "I like the proposal" or "I don't like it", that's still a big help :)
