This documentation is for a draft template. It is incomplete and may not be in active development. If possible, editors are encouraged to help with its development. In the meantime, editors should avoid using this template across the Xenharmonic Wiki, except for testing.

Parameters

Title
The name of the temperament goes here, and it appears as the title of the infobox.
Subgroups
Written here is the subgroup(s) that the temperament acts on; often a full prime limit.
Comma basis
Type the simplest list of commas that defines the temperament in the subgroup(s). Format as:
comma 1, comma 2, … (subgroup 1); <br>comma 1, comma 2, (subgroup 2), …
Mapping
The number of generators each element of the subgroup is mapped to; see reduced mapping.
Generator
The interval that generates the temperament, in ratio of monzo form.
Optimization method
The method used to calculate the optimal tuning. Type the acronym, such as CWE or POTE.
Pergen
The period and the generator as fractions of simple intervals (most often the octave and a possibly compounded fifth or fourth).
Color name
The color name of the comma tempered out.
Edo join 1
The smallest edo (or equal division of another interval) that reasonably supports the temperament. Only type the number, not "edo" or any extra text.
