[[User:IlL|Inthar]]'s take: IMO there are too many rank-2 temperaments on this wiki that are just variants of each other (have similar optimal tunings) and only differ in some high complexity interpretation for an extra harmonic. Ideally the most important (low-complexity) approximations and subgroups should be given first, and one way we can pin those down is look at what intervals are approximated in small EDO tunings (<=36edo) for the rank 2 temperament.

This suggests a scale-tree based format for temperament pages; each page would focus on a fixed MOS structure and possible temperaments for the generator chain that generates that MOS. The temperaments are ordered in increasing generator size, and more complex temperaments (i.e. approximating additional JI intervals with intervals further out in the generator chain) would be children of simpler temperaments. See [[User:IlL/Temp_page_example|proposed format for rank-2 temperament pages]]. (The new scale tree temperament pages need not replace current temperament pages)

The new scale tree temperament pages need not replace current temperament pages, but I believe that this is the most intuitive format and should be what newcomers to RTT-based tunings should be directed to.
