A fact from Type (designation) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 December 2009. The text of the entry was as follows:
  • Did you know... that the Type numbering system in Japan specified that the Mitsubishi A6M of 1940 would be designated "Type 0 Carrier Fighter", giving rise to the popular name "Zero"?
A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Did you know archive/2009/December.

Narrow scope

[edit]

Although the article's title simply mentions "designation" and the introduction notes that "Many other nations use the word 'Type' to designate products in a series" with no further qualification, the article is devoted to a discussion of (1) military weaponry (2) from three countries only. Either this article should be greatly expanded (admittedly, a huge job) or its title changed to a more restrictive scope, such as "Type (military designation)" or "Type (weapons)". The latter may be more appropriate. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[]

Expansion seems to me the answer. As for the article name, I took Mark (designation) as the model. Binksternet (talk) 16:23, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[]
