Add a general type of service token

Note: The categories of tokens were updates and I also update this suggestion. See https://en.numista.com/forum/topic131580.html#p1206870

I am ordering German tokens made by Karl W. Müller Vertriebs (KWM).

In Numista there are 20, at least. Now they are in different types:

• Automatic tokens › Car wash token
• Automatic tokens › Dispenser token
• Unclassified exonumia › Miscellaneous token

In other sites there are as car wash tokens (TokenCatalog), trade/amusement/transportation tokens (TokenCatalog) or parking tokens (Colnect, PicClick), and some are referenced in The Complete Guide to Car Wash Tokens of North America.

But, according to the page of KWM, these tokens can be used in different automatic machines of KWM (showers, washing machines, tumble-driers, dry slingshots and solaria, etc.).

Now we have these types in exonumia:

• Automatic tokens
  • Access tokens
  • Car wash tokens
  • Deposit tokens
  • Dispenser tokens
  • Game tokens
  • Locker tokens
  • Telecommunication tokens
  • Parking tokens
  • Phonograph tokens
  • Ride tokens
  • Transit tokens
• Unclassified exonumia
  • Miscellaneous tokens
  • Miscellaneous paper exonumia

These token are automatic tokens, so has not sense put in “Unclassified exonumia › Miscellaneous token”, but none type of automatic tokens is completely valid.

Can be added a more general type? (eg. Other automatic tokens, Non-specific use tokens...).

I know these 20 items but sure there are more.

Hi

Shopping Cart Tokens are also listed under Automatic Tokens in Deposit Token Category. These for my taste do not fit into the general category of Automatic Tokens, more closely - by the intended use - is Miscellaneous Token. This is just one of the issues already discussed.

Currently there are some 850 search results on “Shopping Cart Token”, highly likely even more if the data would be better. I would like to know, how many pieces there need to be, in order for the new category to be opened?

Still waiting on promised changes in Token structure. What is taking so long?

I asked about this on another thread but it was rejected unfortunately.

The categories of tokens were updates and I also update this suggestion.

Now these tokens are in

Service tokens › Transportation tokens › Car wash tokens

but really can be used in any machine of their mint company https://en.numista.com/catalogue/mint.php?id=5597

Could be added a new category under service tokens? For example

General use tokens, or
Non-specific use tokens

I think setting their type to service tokens, without specifying, is invalid because it means their purpose is unknown, and it is actually know but is general or non-specific.
