Salamander

need Salamander oven, aka Salamander or Salamander broiler (not sure of the capitalisation). Onanoff (talk) 18:41, 25 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The subsets are organised in an illogical manner

As of now, we have
1. Baking ovens
2. Coke ovens
3. Earth ovens
4. Industrial ovens
5. Kilns

This is a bad case of galloping mixitis. Either the subsets are organised by function/purpose, or by materials. If we choose the first, it's
1. Baking & cooking ovens

1.1. Earth ovens

1.2. Masonry ovens

2. Industrial ovens

2.1. Kilns

2.2. Coke ovens

If we choose the second, it's
1. Earth ovens (dug into the earth and covered with non-permanent means, like leaves & soil)
2. Masonry ovens, maybe more intuitively "built-up ovens", rather than "dug out ovens", which include clay, cob, stone, brick, and –I can imagine– ceramic and metal ovens.

The first seems to me more useful, while the second can be mentioned at the top of the article.

We shouldn't mix systems of categorisation, it's anti-encyclopedic. Arminden (talk) 21:16, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This list is for TYPES only, not for individual examples

... or else it will be swamped with sites & photos posted by local patriots of all kinds. We need to make this very clear, and to patrol the page for strays.

So far the Americans were very active; I've moved the whole bunch of US "coke ovens" to the coke oven article, under "USA". Didn't just erase them, they're in the right place now, with wikilink and photo, so no edit warring please. Arminden (talk) 02:22, 21 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
