Talk:Fractional-octave temperaments

The list of temperaments

I don't see the benefit of this open list, given how difficult it is to maintain. I think it's better if it's a closed list with only the most representative entries, or removed entirely. —FloraC (talk) 11:43, 28 June 2026 (UTC) (updated FloraC (talk) 12:17, 28 June 2026 (UTC))

I think that many of these temperaments do not seem notable (e.g. feel like the result of data dredging, or otherwise fail to show musical relevance), so I actually wonder if in fact the big list at the end of this page is what should be kept, instead of the dozens of pages with little useful content that need separate maintenance if new temperament families are created. The big list helps navigate between existing temperament families sorted by the fraction of the octave they're associated with. For that matter, this makes them closely related to an edo, so if it turns out the information is already repeated on each edo page, then we have the information in three places, and maybe then just the edo pages are enough. --Fredg999 (talk) 15:53, 28 June 2026 (UTC)
