- Rename to Category:Vehicle fuel tanks to remove the ambiguity? - Themightyquill (talk) 09:08, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
- @Themightyquill: Why is there ambiguity between "fuel tank" and "cistern"? They are both liquid storage units, but one is for fuel, and the other for water. Not all fuel tanks are part of vehicles, so there is purpose to having Category:Fuel tanks, though vehicle fuel tanks could go under it to group all of those that are part of a vehicle. If images of cisterns got put into this category, it sounds like simple mis-categorization, so re-cat them in Category:Cisterns and that is that, I would think.

- Sorry, my comments were confusing. I assumed that Вадзім Медзяноўскі was suggesting there are photos of fuel storage tanks (1, 2, 3, and many more) in this category, even though the category description currently says it should only be for vehicle fuel tanks, whereas tanks used for storage should go in Category:Storage tanks. - Themightyquill (talk) 10:38, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
- No problem, I get we probably need to clean that up a bit. Both 'cisterns' and 'fuel tanks' are 'storage tanks' strictly speaking, but I get we probably want to differentiate between immobile tanks for holding large stores of fuel, mobile tanks for the large-scale transport of fuel, and vehicle fuel tanks for the immediate use of the vehicle they are part of. Perhaps something like:

- Category:Storage tanks by contents
- Category:Fuel tanks
- Category:Fuel storage tanks (structures for storage of large quantities of fuel)
- Category:Fuel transport tanks (tanks for transport of large quantities of fuel)
- Category:Vehicle fuel tanks (tanks holding fuel for immediate use by the vehicle)
- Category:Fuel tanks
- @Themightyquill: Perhaps something like the above would work. We should include descriptions on each to clarify for users. Josh (talk) 23:39, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
- Yep, that makes good sense to me. - Themightyquill (talk) 07:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
