Besides families and clans, there are pages that collect temperaments of a certain comma on this wiki. These pages are for temperaments one rank lower than its corresponding family, and are used because some temperaments are more closely associated with the comma than any other or otherwise do not belong to any notable family or clan.

''A policy suggested by [[User:Godtone]] is that such pages should be referred to clearly on the page for the corresponding comma, and that if such a page only contains a small handful of specific temperaments that mostly all follow from the comma itself, then it might be advisable to create a "Temperaments" section on the comma page rather than a separate page.'' Notably, it may often be preferred to instead discuss how those temperaments follow from the comma by linking to the temperaments in the headers with descriptions of how/motivation under the headers, which has the advantage of not requiring all those temperaments to be documented on the same page while increasing wiki linkage. | :: ''A policy suggested by [[User:Godtone]] is that such pages should be referred to clearly on the page for the corresponding comma, and that if such a page only contains a small handful of specific temperaments that mostly all follow from the comma itself, then it might be advisable to create a "Temperaments" section on the comma page rather than a separate page.''
