TITLE: Cogenerator of Categories of Topological Spaces Satisfying Some Separation Axiom
QUESTION [6 upvotes]: This question begins with a sort of mysterious comment at the bottom of this Wikipedia page on injective cogenerators. There, it is said, without citation or proof, that as a result of the Tietze Extension Theorem, the interval $I=[0,1]$ is an injective cogenerator for categories of topological spaces satisfying separation axioms (e.g. Hausdorff, Tychonoff, Kolmogorov, or other of the various $T_{i}$ conditions). 
So there are a few questions here:
(0) This question is basically terminological. The Wikipedia page says that an injective cogenerator is simply an object that admits a non-zero (although in a general category I'm not sure what a zero map would be anyway) map from every non-zero object. But the nlab page indicates that we should rather define a cogenerator to be an object whose represented functor is faithful, so that's the definition I'm working with for now. Are these equivalent in the case that "zero map" has a meaning? 
(1) Is it true that the interval is an injective cogenerator for any of 
 the categories of spaces subject to separation axioms? If so, can you 
 give an idea of how the proof would go? It seems likely that it would work for Tychonoff spaces at least?
(2) If not the interval, do the other categories of spaces subject to separation axioms admit any (set of) cogenerators? 
(3) Does the full category of topological spaces have a cogenerator? I was thinking that it might be the two point space $X=\{a,b\}$ with topology given by $\{\{a,b\},\{b\},\emptyset\}$, but I might be wrong here.

REPLY [2 votes]: The answer to your question (0) is "no".  The Wikipedia page is in the context of a category with zero object, in which case a zero morphism is one that factors through the zero object.  Consider a category with four objects $A,B,C,0$, with $0$ the zero object, and four nonzero nonidentity morphisms $f,g:A\rightrightarrows B$, $h:B\to C$, and $k:A\to C$, where $h\circ f = h\circ g = k$.  Then $C$ is a cogenerator in the Wikipedia sense, but $\hom(-,C)$ is not faithful.
The Wikipedia page seems to believe that the two definitions are equivalent at least in an abelian category, since the subsequent sections use instead the property (equivalent to the usual "faithful represented functor" definition) that every object injects into a product of copies of the cogenerator.  I'd be surprised if this were true; I would only expect defining (co)generators to detect triviality of objects rather than morphisms to work in contexts like a triangulated category, where whether a morphism is an isomorphism can be detected by whether its cone is zero.  The most I can prove from the Wikipedia definition in general is that $\hom(-,C)$ reflects epimorphisms.
