Category:English words suffixed with -work

Empty. No such suffix. See work. DCDuring TALK 17:56, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I suppose the difficulty here is we almost need an RFV, which would be highly unusual for a category. Can't we just speedy delete them as empty categories? Mglovesfun (talk) 20:31, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Let me provide some lemming rationale at least and give folks a week to notice and object. I think there are more that are not now empty but should be and some things called affixes that are really bases. DCDuring TALK 21:16, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

No OneLook. DCDuring TALK 14:52, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Deleted, just common sense to be honest. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:33, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

Subsequently restored due to a new RFD at which it was decided that -work is a suffix after all: [1]. - -sche (discuss) 18:41, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

This category seems to hold compounds only. It might be an idea to categorize by compound-parts, though.--Leo Laursen – (talk · contribs) 08:20, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
