"Principle of least astonishment"

This template does poorly, I think, when it comes to not surprising the reader as to why they are sent to a particular page.

• The same page is listed multiple times.
• Links go to articles on international armor with no explanation where the Swedish usage fits into the whole. The linked articles mention Swedish tanks only in passing way down the page with no section headers to facilitate orientation. A reader should not have to text search the name of the Swedish tank they clicked on!

I've now gone through the entries and the redirects some of them use. They now all land the reader directly at a page or section discussing what the reader clicked on. CapnZapp (talk) 11:25, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change focus of template?

The template would be better as a complete template from 1921 to today, listing everything armored. Blockhaj (talk) 17:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
