Name as title instead of ratio?

I don't suppose people would type a ratio as complex as this. Maybe textual name is better for 5-digit or more complex intervals? FloraC (talk) 05:42, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Look at 32805/32768, the page for the schisma. All we need is a similar redirect. --Aura (talk) 05:50, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Do you mean all pages for rational intervals should use the ratio? If not, there will be a threshold beyond which we want to use the textual name. What will it be? FloraC (talk) 06:04, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I definitely think that there is a threshold beyond which we want to use the textual name. Personally, I think that 5 digits should be the max for the numbers in any part of the ratio- any more than that and I'd want to use the textual name instead. --Aura (talk) 06:11, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

At the end of the day, the rule that I seem to see on this wiki is that if the number of digits in either the numerator or the denominator is greater than the number of fingers on one hand (including the thumb), you use a textual name as the article name, with redirects happening for 4-digit and 5-digit ratios for the convenience of people like Kite. --Aura (talk) 06:47, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
