   Format: MarkdownItexI have added a bit of history to the entry on [[Baues-Wirsching cohomology]]. Whilst looking for something else I found a paper by Charlie Wells from 1979, extending the earlier ideas of Leech cohomology for semigroups to small categories. He defines various types of extension and classifies them using the same methods as B and W used a few years later.
