Template talk:Infobox ET

Parameters

  • Fifth type: not rigorously defined. Perhaps should not be named after temperaments of a mixture of ranks. Mavila, 7edo, 5edo and father are fine, I suppose. What's the boundary between flattone and meantone, and between meantone and schismic? Why is 19edo meantone and not flattone? Why is 12edo meantone and not schismic? Does it all converge to schismic when edos get large enough?
  • Important MOSes, common uses: these will be bloated in a later stage.
  • Example composition/score: What kind of one-minute composition can be representative for an edo? Shall we hold a composing contest for this? FloraC (talk) 07:18, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Steps or Step count: this is the most important parameter, because it lets us calculate the step size and lateron rename the page without loosing information. Also using the page title as table description is not a great idea. --Xenwolf (talk) 09:01, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Template name

I find it not a such great decision to name the template ET where all pages use the EDO abbreviation. --Xenwolf (talk) 08:56, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

I wanted to use it also for nonoctave ETs. But I'm fine with renaming to "edo" and using a different infobox for nonoctave equal temperaments. IlL (talk) 09:15, 3 December 2020 (UTC)

Related project

We already started a project about a template of this kind but maybe too hidden Xenharmonic Wiki:Things to do#Infobox for EDO pages, Xenharmonic Wiki talk:Things to do#Infobox for EDO pages. In any case, it would be good to also let the thoughts there flow into the discussion here or vice versa. --Xenwolf (talk) 09:17, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
