Hackerspace → MakerspaceMakerspace – Per the above discussion "A Hackerspace is not a Makerspace", a hackerspace can be regarded as a subset of makerspace"
Makerspace is broader, since it both refers to physical and digital fabrication, while hacking seems more focused on programming (whether focused on digital fabrication or programming workarounds).
Hacking can also be more ambiguous, since its etymology can have various meanings, for example:
And many more.
As seen, in the contect of hackerspaces, however, I believe the term "hacking" is often meant in the positive meanings "to be creative", or "to be good at something", or "to make something work", rather than the malicious, secretive or mystical meanings sometimes associatied with the word hacking.
Therefore, due to Makerspace being a broader and clearer term, I think it would be more fitting to have Makerspace as the main title of this page discussing these two closely related topics, since digital facbrication is a subset of what can be done at a makerspace. A makerspace can be suited for creative building or construction of anything (digital, physical, et cetera).

- Oppose the move. I think that it would be better to split this page into Makerspace and Hackerspace. Gusfriend (talk) 02:14, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose per Gusfriend. Seems like they're two different topics. — Amakuru (talk) 10:33, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
- Relisting comment: Split into two articles instead? — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 19:39, 23 October 2022 (UTC)
In regards to the option of splitting into two different articles, what is the difference between a hackerspace and a makerspace? As I have laid out above, hackerspace seems to be a subtype of makerspace (or even the same thing). Can you please lay out how you view them as different? P.s. The article about Life hack indicates once again that "hacking" can be used in the meaning to fix something, mend, or making a workaround. I don't see the big difference to a makerspace where one can make or fix stuff. Sauer202 (talk) 11:17, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
