=== Temperament restriction policy on selected pages ===

It seems the proposal for making the temperament material more accessible has failed. ~~It might~~ be ~~better for~~ pages intended for a general audience ~~to be~~ as isolated as possible from the temperament pages.

It seems the proposal for making the temperament material more accessible has failed. Maybe we should try not to obligate newcomers to learn RTT at all, so we should be especially careful to ensure that pages intended for a general audience are as isolated as possible from the temperament pages.

'''Proposal:''' On a page intended to be read by a general audience and those unfamiliar with RTT, such as pages about MOS patterns,

Line 169:

#* The temperament has been used in at least 20 compositions (for example, a 1L6s MOS in a porcupine tuning, or pumps the porcupine comma).

#* There is a reasonably complete general-audience page about the temperament (rather than just an associated MOS pattern).

#* The temperament has been redefined as a pair (MOS period, MOS generator tuning range), or equivalently, as a MOS pattern (see below).

# Do not refer to tempering out a specific comma, unless it is on the list of allowed commas.

# When linking to a temperament name, it should link to a page describing the temperament for a general audience, not a technical temperament entry. Exception: A general-audience temperament page can link to more technical temperament pages in its "see also" section, but they should be marked as technical material.

Pages on which this temperament restriction policy is active should be clearly marked for editors.

Pages on which this temperament restriction policy is active should be clearly marked for editors, with the template [[User:IlL/Template:RTT restriction]].
