Poll to move to face-transitive

Face-transitive is a standard term for polytopes. Face-uniform was an incorrect term derived from uniform polytopes which are are vertex-transitive, and their duals which are face-transitive.

• Yes and no. I would prefer to move it to Isohedral because it's shorter and has been around longer, and redirect from Face-transitive. Steelpillow 13:05, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

  It can be both with redirects, although I agree best to encourage one set of terms or other. How about starting by adding links/referenecs to all these stubs? Tom Ruen 19:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I wasn't sure whether it was best to move the pages first, before doing all that. Yes I know it can be both with redirects, but we still need to decide the titles of the pages to which we redirect the others. Steelpillow 20:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Move to Isohedral?

Looking behind the recent to-and-fro moves, it seems to me that Isohedral should be more than a redirect. It could be made a disambuguation page, or it could be basically this one, with links to isohedral numbers and the like. My vote is to move this page across. -- Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 19:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi Guy. I don't have a strong preference what to do on the isohedral page. I'm not against moving this page there, or making it a disambuguation page. I do like using face-transitive better for being more descriptive to me, but that can as well exist as a redirect to isohedral.

Hmmmm.... a separate item, I added the isotopic term here, but unsure if it well belongs here, a bit different, meaning facet-transitive, so isotopic=isohedral for polyhedra only. Maybe it should be on its own page? I suppose it is too underused. The duals of uniform polytopes (isogonal/vertex-transitive) are isotopic, but they are pretty rarely given. Like the Disphenoid tetrahedral honeycomb is isotopic (cell-transitive), but might as well say that! Tom Ruen (talk) 20:24, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
