: There are many ways to deal with it, my (currently) preferred ones: try to find the contents searching for the title (being hopefully not just [[Help:Here-links|"here"]]) and replace the link or (if you know how) find it by the URL in the [[Wayback Machine]]. You may also help others to deal with it by marking it as such: add <code><nowiki>{{dead link}}</nowiki></code> to make the pages appear on [[:Category:Pages containing dead links]].

== Naming ==

(Not sure where to post this so I'm putting it here)

Currently, the process for naming commas/intervals/temperaments seems to be that the person who "discovers" it gets to name it. Now this might have historically been fine, but consider that nowadays, I can just run a Python script overnight and come up with literally *millions* of commas and temperaments not yet named on the wiki. Do I get to name them all?

Maybe there should be a more democratic process for naming things. On [[Talk:1729/1728]] we are currently just having a poll, which seems good enough! But I suggest that if you want to name something, you first post the proposed name on the talk page (with your reasoning) and then once a consensus is reached the article can be updated.
