Category talk:Landing gear

Proposed category move

I propose that Category:Undercarriages be moved to the (singular) Category:Landing gear, for disambiguation and alignment with English Wikipedia, where the main article was moved in early 2014 after long discussions in 2013. See: [1] and [2]

After seven years, this should be uncontroversial, and was never discussed here. I will aim to action the move after 24 hours for any responses here. Sub-cats can then be progressively moved, plus a new Category:Undercarriages suitable for horse-drawn carriages (per original use) and other land vehicles.

Noting that undercarriage/landing gear are two different terms for the same thing due to national varieties of English. Landing gear is strongly US orientated with the abbreviations MLG and NLG widely used (main landing gear, nose landing gear) and undercarriage is similar with the abbreviations 'nose u/c and main u/c'. Much the same situation as afterburner and reheat. Whatever path is taken some readers will be puzzled. Nimbus227 (talk) 12:14, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Undercarriage isn’t a term I have heard that often for an aircraft, but landing gear is a far more common term. The National Transportation Safety Board (US), Air Accidents Investigation Board (UK) and Aviation Transport Safety Board (Australia) all use landing gear. A note could be placed on the undercarriage category pointing to the landing gear category. Bidgee (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for comments. I'll press ahead with the move, taking into account comments plus the Wikipedia discussions and disambiguation links there.PeterWD (talk) 14:26, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
