: It's for meta stuff that is not in the Help namespace. Pages that describe the project, pages that are not itself about microtonal or xenharmonic topics. Sometimes it's hard to decide if something is help-only or not. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 19:59, 30 September 2018 (UTC) | : It's for meta stuff that is not in the Help namespace.

== Should there be a convention for indicating original research == | |||
As far as I know, Xenharmonic Wiki is a place for original research and subjective opinion; though it still seems important to say who the author is, so that people looking through the article know it's subjective/original. In this case. It seems like it might interrupt the flow of the article or seem irrelevant if one always includes "(my name) thinks that XYZ might be good as ABC tuning". | |||
It might be sufficient that in a wiki, anybody can contribute, so if someone thinks some original research is wrong, xe can fix it; however, I worry that preexisting information is less likely to be challenged because usually there is indeed a good reason for why it's there are already; and there's still no sense of a consensus, i.e. if 500 people agree with a bit of OR and 1 person thinks it's questionable, that one person can't tell if xe should defer to the 500 people's views or if xe should change it in case someone agrees with him. I guess that's what the talk page would be for. | |||
