Four numbering schemes for the uniform polyhedra are in common use, distinguished by letters: [C] Coxeter et al., 1954, showed the convex forms as figures 15 through 32; three prismatic forms, figures 33–35; and the nonconvex forms, figures 36–92.
Coxeter, Longuet-Higgins & Miller (1954) define uniform polyhedra to be vertex-transitive polyhedra with regular faces. They define a polyhedron to be a finite set of polygons such that each side of a polygon is a side of just one other polygon, such that no non-empty proper subset of the polygons has the same property.
image of polyhedron; name of polyhedron; alternate names (in brackets) Wythoff symbol; Numbering systems: W - number used by Wenninger in polyhedra models, U - uniform indexing, K - Kaleido indexing, C - numbering used in Coxeter et al. 'Uniform Polyhedra'. Number of vertices V, edges E, Faces F and number of faces by type.

There are 44 such Schwarz triangles (5 with tetrahedral symmetry, 7 with octahedral symmetry and 32 with icosahedral symmetry), which, together with the infinite family of dihedral Schwarz triangles, can form almost all of the non-degenerate uniform polyhedra. Many degenerate uniform polyhedra, with completely coincident vertices, edges, or ...
This category was created to reference the full set of 75 nonprismatic uniform polyhedra, as well as prismatic forms. It is a subset of Category:Polyhedra.. It is a union of 5 Platonic solids, 4 Kepler–Poinsot solids, 13 Archimedean solids, and the infinite prismatic sets in Prismatoid polyhedra, and adds 53 non-convex, non-regular uniform polyhedra.
This is an indexed list of the uniform and stellated polyhedra from the book Polyhedron Models, by Magnus Wenninger. The book was written as a guide book to building polyhedra as physical models. It includes templates of face elements for construction and helpful hints in building, and also brief descriptions on the theory behind these shapes.
