Per the recent Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2014_April_24#Category:Hydrogen_rocket_engines, does anyone have the time to organise a rename, as originally proposed, to

• Category:Hydrogen rocket engines to Category:Hydrogen-fueled rocket engines
• Category:Kerosene rocket engines to Category:Kerosene-fueled rocket engines
• Category:Methane rocket engines to Category:Methane-fueled rocket engines

Nominator's rationale: These are rocket engines that use the named propellent for fuel. They aren't rockets for it, or rockets used by it - "Foo-fuelled" should be the standard for this sort of thing. The Bushranger _{One ping only} 01:14, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Fuel (and separately oxidiser) vs. propellant is a significant distinction for rocket engines. Despite the usual subject-ignorant wikicrap neologism here, we should maintain the fuel / oxidiser distinction. Andy Dingley (talk) 09:11, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
