This page details optional guidelines to help wiki editors decide whether or not to put an [[interval]] page in [[:Category:Stubs]], in [[:Category:Todo:expand]], or in neither.
This is a '''style guide for interval pages'''.  


When this page needs to be referred to in shorthand, e.g. in an edit summary, feel free to call it '''XW:IntTodo'''.
For guidance on how to expand or improve existing pages, this page's sections provide on what to include, and how to name each section. Sections should be added ''as needed''. Sections in ''italics'' do not denote actual sections, but rather items to add in addition to existing sections or outside of any section.

== History ==
The history of this guideline can be found in [[Xenharmonic Wiki:Manual of Style/Interval pages/History]].
Following a discussion in [[Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do]], a Google Forms survey was run by [[Budjarn Lambeth]] from Jan 1 to Jan 3 2025 (Sydney time). The survey was posted on the Wiki's Facebook, its Discord, and the aforementioned talk page. 4 wiki editors voted. Lambeth himself did not vote.
 
The survey asked in which circumstances an interval page should be in Category:Stubs, in Category:Todo:expand, or in neither of those.
 
Based on the results, Lambeth created the guidelines.
 
=== Survey results ===
==== Key ====
(^^) Indicates the winning option.
 
(??) Indicates an unresolvable tied winner.
 
==== Winner determination method ====
# If any option has >50% of the votes, it wins.
# If every option has 50% or less, then eliminate the last placed option and reallocate its votes as follows:
## "EXPAND" --> "STUBS"
## "STUBS" --> "EXPAND"
## "NEITHER" --> "STUBS"
# Whichever option has the most votes afterwards wins; if it's a tie, then the result is indeterminate
# If there is a tie for last place between "neither" and another option, then treat "neither" as last and the other option as second last (eliminate "neither") - this is because neither wouldn't have a chance to win if it were second last given how preferences are allocated.
# If there is a tie between "stubs" and "expand" for last place, then treat "expand" as last and "stubs" as second last (eliminate "expand") - this is because "expand" is a much smaller category on the wiki, more easily overloaded by too many new pages at once, so it's better for controversial edge cases to go to "stubs" instead.

This is a style guide for interval pages.

For guidance on how to expand or improve existing pages, this page's sections provide on what to include, and how to name each section. Sections should be added as needed. Sections in italics do not denote actual sections, but rather items to add in addition to existing sections or outside of any section.

📝Note: As this guide cannot account for every possible use case, editors are advised to use their best judgment on what to add or not. Additionally, nothing about this guide is set in stone; this guide can (and should!) be updated to fit current developments regarding interval pages.

An interval page belongs in Stubs if it belongs to any of the following groups:

  1. Pages with 1 sentence or less of human-written text.
  2. Pages with less than 1 paragraph of human-written text, about intervals with at least moderately far-reaching impacts on xenharmonic theory and practice, with an odd-limit of 25 or less.

An interval page belongs in Todo:expand if it belongs to any of the following groups:

  1. Pages with a total of 1 paragraph of human-written text, about intervals with large, far-reaching impacts on xenharmonic theory and practice, with an odd-limit of 25 or less.
  2. Pages with 1 paragraph or less of human-written text, about commas with large, far-reaching impacts on xenharmonic theory and practice.

All interval pages that do not belong to one of the above groups, should not be in Stubs nor Todo:expand.

The history of this guideline can be found in Xenharmonic Wiki:Manual of Style/Interval pages/History.
