Talk:Clevis fastener

Rename Article?
The article is named after the pin used in a clevis fastener. So we have potentially clevis pin, clevis shackle, clevis hook, and clevis (by itself, which is the U shape piece of metal through which the pin goes). My suggestion is that we rename the article clevis, and include all of the related terms therein. That will make the article most substantial and complete. Any objections or suggestions?

 * Based on what you just said a "clevis" is one part of the whole system, so I think renaming the article to clevis is much like what we have right now. How about we rename it to clevis fasteners, which can be all encompassing? Wizard191 (talk) 16:01, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Nuujinn (talk) 17:12, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Clevis and tang
These are unusual words, which is why I looked to Wikipedia to understand them in relation to the Challenger disaster. Clevis is here, but tang isn't (not this usage, anyway). So far as I can gather the tang is something that fits between the two prongs of the clevis, but I'm not confident enough to put this in. Will somebody expert put a mention of Tang into this article, and create a redirect from Tang itself? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 14:47, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I've reworked the intro to include this. Let me know what you think. Wizard191 (talk) 16:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm reliant on you for the explanation, so I can't really comment. But it certainly reads OK; thanks. Would you consider adding this use of the word "tang" to the disambiguation page for the word, and linking it to the present page? I can't do this, because I don't have an account. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 16:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Done. Wizard191 (talk) 17:20, 5 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Great, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 01:23, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Too many assumptions
Clues: The words; tow, chain, and rope should be used in the lead paragraph or section? Cheers!  --2602:306:CFCE:1EE0:C16D:7F97:1C4C:6D39 (talk) 20:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)Doug Bashford
