Now, there seems to be a dispute regarding the type of the tank. Since you are actively editing on it, I would like to point out one rule of this wiki that may not be entirely obvious: "[[T:NO RW|The real world doesn't count]]". In other words, it matters not which type of the tank is actually used in the footage. The wiki or, more precisely, the in-universe portions of pages '''must''' state the tank model/make exactly the way it was presented onscreen. (The note of the actual model as named in the real world can be stated in the "Behind the scenes" section.) I would appreciate it if you would read this policy and then provide the in-universe evidence based on which the model of this tank was determined. Then I will make sure that all the unnecessary redirects are removed. [[User:Amorkuz|Amorkuz]] [[User talk:Amorkuz|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:34, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

The only way to identify the tank is from it's visual appearance and the Behind The Scenes saying it massed at 65 tonnes. The mass and appearance match a Challenger 2 without the additional armour package. In universe though, I can't find any positive way to identify the tank, so from a canon point of view is really just a generic tank.

In which case I'm not sure if the tank deserves it's own page at all, and could be folded into the existing [[Tank]] page. [[User:AuroraHalsey|AuroraHalsey]] [[User talk:AuroraHalsey#top|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 00:41, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

Please do not move pages[[edit source]]

Hi. Welcome to the wiki. We're glad that you're with us. Just a tiny teeny little detail, a mere technicality, which, however, the admins of this wiki care deeply about. Please do not move pages yourself. The rationale and suggested actions to achieve a move are explained at Thread:128198. In short, only an admin can technically make a move correctly. Happy editing!

Ah, right. Thanks for showing me that thread, I wasn't really sure how to rename the page and sort of blundered into the page move.

No worries. We've all been there :) Amorkuz 00:34, May 28, 2017 (UTC)

Tank type[[edit source]]

Now, there seems to be a dispute regarding the type of the tank. Since you are actively editing on it, I would like to point out one rule of this wiki that may not be entirely obvious: "The real world doesn't count". In other words, it matters not which type of the tank is actually used in the footage. The wiki or, more precisely, the in-universe portions of pages must state the tank model/make exactly the way it was presented onscreen. (The note of the actual model as named in the real world can be stated in the "Behind the scenes" section.) I would appreciate it if you would read this policy and then provide the in-universe evidence based on which the model of this tank was determined. Then I will make sure that all the unnecessary redirects are removed. Amorkuz 00:34, May 28, 2017 (UTC)
