:::: The 2009 CFR was a decision to rename all the impact crater categories from "craters" to "impact craters", which was implemented. That consensus does not rule out re-creating or re-using [[:Category:Craters]] as a parent of {{cat|Impact craters}} and the other types of craters. Also, why should the craters of unknown type such as [[Patomskiy crater]] not be categorised in [[:Category:Craters]]? It is [[WP:DEFINING]] that it is a crater, and the article [[Eden Patera]] likewise refers to "the crater", but you have currently removed them from the hierarchy altogether. – [[User:Fayenatic london|Fayenatic]] [[User talk:Fayenatic london|'''<span style="color: #FF0000;">L</span>'''ondon]] 22:25, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

::::: I understand you're trying to act in [[WP:AGF|good faith]] but you are actually promoting confusion from a point of misinterpretation. Of the articles you listed, [[Patomskiy crater]] uses the term crater colloquially; but of its 2 references, one speculates about UFOs and the other says a meteoric origin was disproven, leading to questions whether the article even qualifies for [[WP:N]]. [[Eden Patera]] is satisfactorily categorized in [[:Category:Surface features of Mars]] until reliable sources sort out if it's from volcanic or impact origin. The article called [[crater]] is a disambiguation page, leaving no official [[WP:DEFINING]] characteristic for the category to stand on, except also as a disambiguation. The English dictionary ([https://www.dictionary.com/browse/crater?s=t], [https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/crater]) only supports impact, volcanic and explosion craters. ''Anything else is not a crater.'' Please stop promoting the recurring confusion over this topic. It has been solved already and needs to not re-emerge.
