Japanese midget submarine attacks on Sydney
I moved subject text to the Ko-hyoteki class submarine article. The comprehensive subject of this article will not allow room for a complete description of all activities undertaken by the various individual boats and classes. I have tentatively restructured this article first by nation and then by individual classes of submersibles, Many of these are simple links to other articles, but some may be expanded here to minimize trivial stubs. I propose an introductory section on the general concept and applications. Thewellman (talk) 23:14, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Type of article and scope?
This article seems to be a mix of "what's a midget submarine" and a "list of midget submarines". I suggest moving the definition to the article "Submarine", and edit/rename this as a proper list. Kind regards, DPdH (talk) 10:32, 23 January 2010 (UTC)


 * While splitting off the list would probably be useful long term there is enough to write on the topic of midget submarines that merging with the main submarine article would not be a good idea.©Geni 15:06, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Four subs, not just one
This probably has as much to do with the previous comment as not. The article mentions that one midget sub was recovered after WWII. But four subs were actually sunk, if that is important. (Apparently not important. Maybe details shouldn't be mentioned either. Or worded differently). Student7 (talk) 01:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Well the UK and german sections are something of a model of how I would like each national section to look.©Geni 01:13, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

the picures show the same factory just with damage in the second.I think WP experts could display something more fitting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.207.75.244 (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 * Triggered by  on the local blacklist

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 19:46, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

GIMIK OSS Project FEU “Gizmo” / CIA “Skiff”
Would semi-submersibles such as the GIMIK OSS Project FEU “Gizmo” (PDF) / CIA Skiff(pdf) be included in the category? Johnvr4 (talk) 20:40, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Manned vehicles only?
Should the definition specify that only crewed submarines under 150 tons are midget submarines? The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division’s Acoustic Research Detachment (ARD) in Bayview, Idaho, at Lake Pend Oreille has multiple submarine designs  that are under 88 feet in length. These are apparently unmanned 1/3 to 1/4 scale models of U.S. Navy ships and submarines that are used for testing. Johnvr4 (talk) 22:00, 16 October 2023 (UTC)
