I don't know why forts are categorized under fortresses and not the other way around? A fort is a building designed for defensive warfare, while a fortress is a large and permanent defensive building (or ensemble of buildings). A fort can be a permanent or temporary building.

Neither should be a parent of the other. Let them be parented to military installations. Laurel Lodged (talk) 07:14, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Or Fortifications. Sbb1413 (he) (talkcontribs) 16:58, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. That would be preferable. Laurel Lodged (talk) 20:36, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
