Move temperament data?
It's strange that this page has a lot of temperaments that are not catalogued elsewhere. I think they should be moved to their respective (comma clan/family) page and then linked here so that this stops being a garbage can of 'temperaments not defined elsewhere'.
I'm also not really sure what the purpose of this page is because I think you can define chromatic pairs for *any* temperament.

- Most of these would simply go to the subgroup temperaments page, which doesn't help much. Otherwise some of them have been logged already, and we've been adding more. I agree with your second argument tho. FloraC (talk) 12:26, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
- I think temperament data should only be found on appropriate pages to avoid duplicates (especially non-identical ones), even if that means moving large parts to subgroup temperaments. If that page becomes overloaded, additional pages for popular subgroups may be created. Also, I think this page is useful as a list of scales, and the lead section could be improved to emphasize the properties of MOS scales which are implied by the definition of chromatic pairs. --Fredg999 (talk) 03:45, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
- I agree that we should be consistent about the types of pages where this type of temperament data is found. And I agree that a good temporary solution would be to move the temperament data (most of this material) from here to the subgroup temperaments page. I also agree that reworking this page to focus on scales rather than temperaments would be better.
- By the way, Fredg999: in your previous reply, [[Category:Lists_of_scales|list of scales]] did not render as "list of scales" linking to that Category page; it rendered as nothing. I don't have any idea why. --Cmloegcmluin (talk) 16:27, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
