Category:Military equipment 1920–1929 to Category:1920s military equipment – C2C within Category:1920s, and C2B per Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_April_19#Category:Aircraft_piston_engines_1900–1909. Oculi (talk) 10:27, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Oculi: should it be "Military equipment introduced in the 1920s", following the vehicles subcat? See CFD linked below. – Fayenatic London 22:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe. No objection either way. Oculi (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @Fayenatic london: Looking slightly sideways I find Category:20th-century military equipment, which uses 'introduced in' widely so I support "Military equipment introduced in the 1920s" etc. I don't see why this cannot now proceed, leaving Category:Military equipment 1940–1944 and Category:Military equipment 1945–1949 as subcats for another day.

- Category:Military equipment 1930–1939 to Category:1930s military equipment
- Category:Military equipment 1940–1944 to Category:1940s military equipment
  - Oppose rename to decade, this is part of the WW2 hierarchy, see Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2019_July_21#Category:Military_vehicles_by_decade_of_introduction but by all means create a new decade parent at the suggested target name. – Fayenatic London 22:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - To be honest, Category:Military vehicles introduced in 1940–1944 (from your linked example) seems to be non-defining, unlike Category:World War II military vehicles which is. Also Category:Military vehicles introduced in the 1930s is in the same category, yet WW2 did not start til the end of the 30s. I would say that the category itself is non-defining, but even if it was (and wasn't duplicated by the other WW2 vehicle category), it would probably be better to actually place the tag on the pages instead of the category which will have unrelated entries.--Gonnym (talk) 09:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
      - Fair enough, but it would be best to hold a full discussion over that (merge to decade and manual merge to WW2). May we proceed with an unopposed speedy rename for now? – Fayenatic London 13:23, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Military equipment 1945–1949 to Category:1940s military equipment (merge)
  - Oppose merge, make this a sub-cat of the decade. – Fayenatic London 22:42, 4 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    - Good idea. Oculi (talk) 09:43, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Category:Military equipment 1950–1959 to Category:1950s military equipment
- Category:Military equipment 1960–1969 to Category:1960s military equipment
- Category:Military equipment 1970–1979 to Category:1970s military equipment
- Category:Military equipment 1980–1989 to Category:1980s military equipment
- Category:Military equipment 1990–1999 to Category:1990s military equipment
  @Fayenatic london: @Oculi: @Gonnym: In this nomination, I can not understand what is opposed and what is finally agreed on.Could you please sort it out? Thanks.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:58, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - - I have just created Category:Military equipment 1940–1949 as a parent category, to be renamed speedily to Category:Military equipment introduced in the 1940s similarly to the decades above. From what I grasp there is consensus on the format of Category:Military equipment introduced in the 19x0s for all full decades, while the 1940/44 and 1945/49 subcategories should be taken to full discussion.

      - OK, I'll process 1920s to 1990s, and the subcats as follows for now:
      - Category:Military equipment 1940–1944 to Category:Military equipment introduced in 1940–1944
      - Category:Military equipment 1945–1949 to Category:Military equipment introduced in 1945–1949
