    added to orbit category a remark on what the name refers to (since I saw sonebody wondering about that)

    Since Mackey functor is only a stub, I added a ’Guide’ in the references

    Some small changes at orbit category (including making OrG into OrG throughout).

    The difference between the results of \mathrm{}\backslash, and \operatorname{} is invisible to my eyes.

    The space induced by the backslash-comma combination looked too big to me. But never mind.

    There is also another construction which goes by the name of “orbit category”: when T:𝒜→𝒜 is an additive automorphism, the orbit category 𝒜/T is the one with the same objects as 𝒜, and in which morphisms are given by 𝒜/T(X,Y)=⨁i∈Z𝒜(X,Ti(Y)). This has appeared under the name “orbit category” in papers of Keller, Tabuada, and others. Perhaps we should mention this somewhere on the page?

    I have added a section (here) on tom Dieck’s “fundamental category” of a G-space, for the moment mainly to record the observation that this is the Grothendieck construction on the system of fundamental groupoids of fixed loci.

    For a moment I was wondering if this note would become the first mentioning of this evident observation, but then I saw that it has been mentioned before, albeit just recently:

    I have now also added (here) a section on tom Dieck’s “equivariant universal cover” together with the observation, analogous to the above, that – now under the ∞-Grothendieck construction – this is equivalent to the 1-truncation unit of the equivariant homotopy type of a G-space.

    (The note still needs some polishing, will first bring in some tikz-typesetting now…)

    Further in this vein, tom Dieck’s “component category” (I.10.6 in Transformation Groups) is the Grothendieck construction on the connected component functor GOrbtopπ0eshX(−)→Set.

    In summary, what section I.10 in tom Dieck 1987 is secretly describing is the image under the ∞-Grothendieck construction of (the first few stages of) the Postnikov tower of the ∞-presheaf on GOrbt which corresponds to the given G-space.

    Hm, is there a conveniently citable reference relating the ∞-Grothendieck construction to Postnikov towers in presheaf ∞-toposes?
