From en:w:Dodecahedron: "In geometry, a dodecahedron is any polyhedron with twelve flat faces." A common example is the regular dodecahedron.
Note that on Commons c:Category:Dodecahedra is even more general, due to c:Category:Dodecahedra that do not have 12 faces. Watchduck (quack) 06:00, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But this is a wrong ("vulgaris") title - they are not dodecahedra! --Infovarius (talk) 10:56, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Infovarius: My main point is that this item should be kept clearly about polyhedra with 12 faces in general. There should be a subclass for the the Platonic solid, and most of the Wikipedia links should be connected to that. (I just mentioned Commons, to make clear that the corresponding category is Polyhedra with 12 faces - and not Dodecahedra as one might think.) Watchduck (quack) 23:46, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
