The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

||~ Degree number ||~ Function ||~ Regular triad ||
|| I || Tonic || I-III-VI ||
|| II || Supertonic || II-IV-VII ||
|| III || Mediant || III-V-VIII ||
|| IV || Subdominant || IV-VI-I ||
|| V || Antitonic || V-VII-II ||
|| VI || Dominant || VI-VIII-III ||
|| VII || Submediant || VII-I-IV ||
|| VIII || Leading tone
Subtonic || VIII-II-V ||

Due to regular triads not being able to simply skip every other note, the regular VIII triad uniquely contains both degrees which are dissonant to the tonic.
