    Created W-type.

    And a related query at pretopos.

    Added to W-type a section Properties with a pointer to Danielsson’s recent post.

    added to W-type pointers to

    • the article by Gambino-Hyland on dependent W-types

    • the article by van den Berg and Moerdijk on W-types in model categories (those given by fibrations)

    Also made the following trivial edit: changed the name of the ambient category from CC to 𝒞\mathcal{C} as it seemed rather bad style to have a category named CC with objects named AA, BB and DD.

    I’ll have a question or comment on W-types in linear type theory, but I’ll put that in a separate thread…

    Heh, you changed the name from a recognizable letter to a nondescript grey box, according to my Firefox for Android. But that’s OK, I don't think that we should actually cater to that.

  6. Reference to Michael Abbott, Thorsten Altenkirch, and Neil Ghani, Representing Nested Inductive Types using W-types

    Thanks for editing.

    Allow me to mention some hints on formatting references:

    • leave a whitespace to any previous text, not to have the output clutter

    • a * followed by a whitespace right at the beginning of the line makes a bullet item for the reference to fit into the rest of the list

    • enclosing author names in double square brackets hyperlinks them to their pages

    • explicit hyperlinks need the http://-prefix to be parsed

    I have slightly reformatted accordingly, now the source looks like so

      * [[Michael Abbott]], [[Thorsten Altenkirch]], and [[Neil Ghani]], 
  _Representing Nested Inductive Types using W-types_ 
  ([pdf](http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~psztxa/publ/icalp04.pdf))

    and renders like so:
