   Format: MarkdownItexI find the page [[lax monoidal transformation]] confusing. To me, a "monoidal transformation" is a natural transformation between monoidal functors which is compatible with the monoidal structure (and there is no room for such a thing to be lax or colax). I would call the structure described on that page something like a "monoidal structure map".

   Format: MarkdownItexIs this called the "lax monoidal transformation" in the literature? If so, then we should still mention that and explain what's wrong with it.

   Format: MarkdownItexI think I created that entry when I wrote [[monoidal Dold-Kan correspondence]] and related entries. In that context for instance the article Schwede, Shipley, _Equivalences of monoidal model categories_ ([pdf](http://www.math.uic.edu/~bshipley/monoidalequi.final.pdf)) uses the term this way (page 5-6).

   Format: MarkdownItexGreat, thanks. The page [[lax monoidal transformation]] still seems to exist; is that the cache acting weird?

   Format: MarkdownItexYep, that's the cache bug. (I can't clear it from here.) But it's lasting a longer time that it used to.
