A few conventions have evolved in this wiki that would be good to keep consistent with.

(please feel free to add rules in use here, and please provide reasons for it! Thanks!)

Decimal numbers

Use the English convention with decimal point, when articles are in English language (which is mostly the case).

Logarithmic interval measures

For normal tables, we decided to stick to cent values with a fixed precision, mostly 2 or 3 in the fractional part. 3 is helpful when serving as a canonical reference point for people to compare their own calculations with. Its main purpose is to give an idea of interval sizes and relation to known intervals in the 12edo system of western music. Alternative measures are acceptable if they better reflect the idea behind an interval system, scale etc. More than one logarithmic size column should be avoided.

Links

Links should have meaningful text; something like "here" is not acceptable. For more info: here-links
