The purpose of XenBase is to facilitate finding and making music, rather than pure theory. It is a place for approaches of all kinds, especially those that break from the established language of the xenharmonic community, such as regular temperament theory.
Browsing some special pages may be helpful for understanding the way XenBase works, namely Special:AllPages and Special:Log/upload.
If certain theory would be useful for the average xenharmonist to know about when trying to understand or use a particular interval, tuning, temperament, or scale, then it belongs here. Theory information on a normal page that is still important but difficult for beginners to understand should be put in {{adv|}}, like: advanced temperament data.
Temperaments should all redirect to the page List of regular temperaments unless there is enough practical compositional information to write an article. The same goes for edos in EDO#List of edos. In general, long pages with many related topics are preferable to a plethora of stub pages.
Articles should preferably contain much more text content than image/table content.
'''Bold''' is to be used for title terms, and ''italics'' to be used for emphasis.
