I have had a fair crack at getting many polyhedron articles into this category. I have probably missed a few. Currently there are 55 polyhedra, which is probably not enough to subcategorise. If this were to happen, I guess subcategories of platonic, archimedian, catalan would work. Also I have only just figured out how to link to this category from the polyhedron page. This is probably bettern than having polyhedron in the polyhedra page. -- Andrew Kepert 02:16, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Not sure why the Great rhombitrihexagonal tiling is here. Isn't it a plane figure? Cheers -- Neil Copeland

You can consider a plane tiling as an infinite polyhedron. Inclusion depends I think whether you're interested in the topological "surface" aspects or the "solid" (volume) enclosed by the surface. Tom Ruen 19:29, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the link be "Category:Tiling for polygonal tilings of the plane."? (Most pages in that category seem to discuss using polygons to tile the plane, though there are pages on polyhedral honeycombs ...) --Assemblany 04:00, 26 May 2006 (UTC) (Luke Schubert)[reply]

Should Icosahedron be in this list? --RareEntity (talk) 23:23, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
