Talk:JavaScript

Redirect?

I suggest replacing this page with a redirect to Help:Advanced formatting of wiki pages. The current contents of this page could be moved in a subsection of that help page instead. I guess I could just do it, but I want to make sure I'm not missing the purpose of this page by mistake. --Fredg999 (talk) 15:54, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Well, JavaScript is much more than a tool that can be used in the wiki. What's your actual problem with this page? --Xenwolf (talk) 19:55, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

From my understanding, the goal of this page is to give examples of how to use JavaScript in the context of xenharmonic music (practice/theory). I think such examples could simply be listed, in a dedicated subsection if deemed necessary, on the page Software (or Useful Tools; but see Talk:Useful Tools for my suggestion to merge these two pages). If someone wants to add longer guides later, those should go on separate pages and could be linked as a "see also" link on the appropriate pages. As for the usage of JavaScript within the wiki, that would go on the help page I mentioned above. You're right that there are actually (at least) two separate use cases, so we might want to make this a disambiguation page instead of a simple redirect. I just don't think it's relevant to start having separate pages for each programming language which can be used to make xenharmonic music, unless there's really a lot of content to justify a split. --Fredg999 (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
