Percussion revolvers?

Should percussion revolvers be given a section in this category? They're commonly included in "muzzleloader" even if they, strictly speaking, do not load from the muzzle but the front of their cylinder. --VladVladson (talk) 18:02, 31 October 2020 (EDT)

No. We already have a revolver section within a revolver category page. Besides, as you yourself said, they don't fit the literal, technical definition of a muzzleloader. That they may be 'commonly included' as such elsewhere is irrelevant. StanTheMan (talk) 19:55, 31 October 2020 (EDT)

I'm not really sure having a revolver category is a good argument. Muzzleloading rifles are in both the muzzleloader and the rifle categories, while muzzleloading shotguns are are in both the muzzleloader and the shotgun categories. --VladVladson (talk) 01:35, 1 November 2020 (EDT)
