These are all the extensions outside of "pure HT", the way HT works in 12edo. We can replace the fifths and thirds with other intervals that are closely related harmonically.
 
"Why such few temperaments? Where is meantone?"
 
A prerequisite for a HT-ish layout is that a single octave is reachable using some combination of the two chosen harmonically close intervals. Using meantone we can only reach the double-octave. (this probably has something to do with the monzos of the intervals and commas but I don't know how yet)

Orwell offers good approximations of even 11-limit intervals, using its generator of about 272 cents to split 3/1 into seven. The generator can be interpreted as 7/6.

== Alternate sixths (related but not necessarily part of HT) ==
Using sixths instead of thirds has the effect that thirds are shifted towards lower octaves. These can resemble layouts akin to Lumatone's "Melodic Mode", with a clear albitonic scale.
=== Semaphore/Barbados (again) ===
This one is strange, the 951 cent interval derived from splitting 3/1 in half can be interpreted as 7/4, 12/7, 26/15 and many others. It's bordering on being a seventh, but it works because the interval one fifth up from it still sounds like a tenth.

=== Porcupine ===
Porcupine is a powerful 11-limit system with a distinctive sound. Here, with a pure 3/1, the sixth is quite flat at 868 cents.

A coooooooooooooool temperament?? I don't want to type these out anymore

=== I don't even know what this one is but it has a good 11/7 lol ===
yea

ok
