   Format: MarkdownI think [[Ab-enriched category]] is a better name for the page than [[ringoid]].

   Format: MarkdownMoved the original page back to [[Ab-enriched category]] and created [[ringoid]]. There is a mathematical difference too: Ab-enriched categories are often large, but I'd be surprised to see "ringoid" used for a large category.

   Format: MarkdownI would, just as with [[groupoid]]. But the emphasis is different, such that small ones are more likely to be of interest under that name.
