wide pullbacks
A category has wide pullbacks if for every object the slice category has arbitrary products.
- Dual property: wide pushouts
- Related properties: pullbacks

Relevant implications
- complete implies connected limits and filtered limits and finitely complete and wide pullbacks
- connected limits is equivalent to equalizers and wide pullbacks
- self-dual and wide pullbacks implies wide pushouts
- self-dual and wide pushouts implies wide pullbacks
- terminal object and wide pullbacks implies complete
- wide pullbacks is equivalent to filtered limits and pullbacks
