	There is only one file in these two categories, and it can live just fine in Category:Price signs in Japan. (Category:Price plates in Japan has now been populated with sufficient images, but further discussion regarding the name follows)

Sorry but I can't agree "merge". It's quite different from "fixed" price sign. --Benzoyl (talk) 04:13, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

@Benzoyl: Thank you for populating the category with enough images to warrant Category:Price plates in Japan remaining. I agree that there could be value in categorizing changeable price signs as a sub-set of price signs in general. Now for specifics, by 'price plate', what exactly are you considering to be a price plate vs. a price sign. I get that it isn't fixed, but you haven't provided much definition beyond that. Are we talking about the whole sign, or only the little number bits that can be changed out? Does it only apply to the type with exchangeable pre-made number plaques, or would one with written prices that can be rapidly changed also qualify? Josh (talk) 20:59, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

@Joshbaumgartner: Thank you, too. More than anything, Sorry for neglecting work (=finding and adding files) until now.

In the case of "digital", There is Category:Electronic shelf labels.

• In addition, There is Category:Erasable shop signs. But, "Erasable price signs" (Per product=individual) does n’t exist (=few). Because, It (=Erasable) may lack credibility? (For example, Someone can rewrite easily) --Benzoyl (talk) 02:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

What is the type of signs "written prices that can be rapidly changed" ?

It might exist, But unfortunately I can't at present think of other kind of "exchangeable price signs" (Category:Revised price signs is ineligible). Thank you for your continued advice. --Benzoyl (talk) 01:04, 26 October 2019 (UTC) --Benzoyl (talk) 01:45, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

@Benzoyl: No worries, the work is great. I would like to use a name for the category that makes it more clear to all users what exactly this separate category of price signs is for. I think Category:Changeable price signs or something along that vein would make it easier to readily identify that this category is for price signs that are not 'fixed'. This would improve the ease with which others can make use of your good work and avoid future users muddling it. I certainly support what you are doing with this category.

@Joshbaumgartner: Category:Changeable price signs is the excellent idea (and Category-name). I couldn't think of it. Thanks. --Benzoyl (talk) 02:50, 29 October 2019 (UTC)
