Omission criteria

This might be helpful. Let's build lists of tanks which don't qualify here. We can keep building each list so we can clearly see what belongs in the category, and debate the merits of including each category in the navigation template separately. —Michael Z. 2008-05-28 18:23 z

The "Cold War tank"s and "Post–Cold War tanks" templates need to be modified

According to Wikipedia article Cold War, the Cold War period is from March 12, 1947 to December 26, 1991. Some main battle tank articles use the "Cold War tanks" and "Post–Cold War tanks" templates simultaneously. To avoid further confusion, the "Cold War tanks" and "Post–Cold War tanks" templates must be modified. I'm a little surprised that none of the people involved in editing this template felt strange about this. Gasiseda (talk) 12:56, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
