Overly large EDO pages

I see that you've done some pretty good work on updating temperament pages and infoboxes and the like. However, we have already been dealing with a glut of stubs - i.e. pages with very minimal content beyond what is automatically generated - created for large EDOs or impractical intervals. You have failed to demonstrate notability for these EDOs, which is a very high burden when dealing with systems in the thousands or even hundreds of thousands of notes.

One reason you might be making these pages is that you just want to look at the harmonics table. That's reasonable, and I do that on a subpage of my userpage for the sake of minimizing disruption to the wiki, and I advise that you do similar in the future. You seem to want to make useful contributions in general, so take this advice so we can continue to mutually assume good faith.

To add to this, the standard format for prime/odd harmonic tables is columns = 11. That shouldn't be exceeded in the majority of cases, especially where you're continuing the harmonics into several tables. (Columns = 9 is another standard.) -- Lériendil (talk) 09:47, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Do I move some or all of pages of EDOs 7200, 7474, 17100, 74740, and 747400 to user pages? Maybe even some of 322, 484, 486, 528, and 699? --Overthink (talk) 21:53, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Sorry, I made a big mess while trying to move 747400edo to User:Overthink/747400edo. Please have someone clean it up. --Overthink (talk) 22:46, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Think what you did is sufficient for these purposes. Cleaned up the 747400 mess. -- Lériendil (talk) 23:16, 22 September 2025 (UTC)

Just to clarify

Someone just requested an account with a similar name to my account. I know them, and they are not me. I'm not sure if this will be allowed, but I'm just saying this in case anyone has any concerns.--Overthink (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2025 (UTC)
