Started lift.

weak factorization system has redirects from: lifting property, right lifting property, left lifting property, lifting problem, lifting problems.

Would it be better to have these redirect to lift?

Thanks. True, the entire paragraph “Preliminaries” would deserve to have a dedicated entry. You could copy that over to “lift” and redirect the redirects accordingly.

Ok, have done that, but no doubt there’s a better arrangement at lift.

The lift of a morphism $f: Y\to B$ along an epimorphism (or more general map) $p:X\to B$ is a morphism $\tilde{f}: Y\to X$ such that $f = p\circ\tilde{f}$.

I changed “the” here to “a”.

Looking at extension where it has dually

The extension of a morphism…

it doesn’t seem so clearly wrong. I guess there’s ambiguity between ’extension’ as the act of extending and as an instance of so extending, as you see in the second paragraph of lift

The dual problem is the extension of a morphism…

I’ll change ’the’ to ’a’ at extension.
