Talk:Tanks of the post–Cold War era

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:

✅ This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.— cyberbot II NotifyOnline 22:37, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Post-Cold War Tanks
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Post-Cold War Tanks's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Encyclopaedia": From Pakistan:  From Al-Khalid tank:  

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 19:07, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

Overview makes no sense
The first sentence of the overview section is:


 * The main battle tank became the standard as a necessity, as it was realized that smaller medium tanks could carry guns (such as the US 90 mm, Soviet 100 mm, and especially the British L7 105 mm) that could penetrate any practical level of armor at long range

and this makes no sense, on its own. If it was true (smaller tanks could penetrate any practical armour at long range) that would be an argument for smaller tanks, not against them William M. Connolley (talk) 17:36, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

This article is about tanks developed during the Tanks of the post–Cold War era
This article obviously deals with the subject of the main battle tank developed during the Post–Cold War era. The T-80 and Leopard 2 were developed during the Cold War, and the T-80 and Leopard 2 were also excluded from the list of "Tanks of the post–Cold War era" templates associated with this article. Therefore, including T-80 and Leopard 2 in this article does not fit the subject of the article. The variant of T-80 and Leopard 2 are clearly not relevant to this article. However, Merkava, which has been serviced since 1979, is a tank developed during the Cold War, but Merkava Mk. IV, which has been serviced since 2003, is relevant to the subject of this article due to the extensive redesign of turrets, chassis, and composite armors. Gasiseda (talk) 11:15, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
