None of these weapons are used by china, so to it's not useful to be a subcat People's Liberation Army. Sanandros (talk) 20:23, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Sanandros: Can you suggest an alternative category to indicate where the weapon was first developed? That seems like relevant information. - Themightyquill (talk) 21:25, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- Yea that's what I didn't came up yesterday. So I ask the comunity to suggest soemthing. I will check once when I have more time and can suggest something.--Sanandros (talk) 05:30, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
- @Sanandros and Themightyquill: The same problem existed for Category:Aircraft in that there was confusion regarding what "Aircraft of country" really meant. There has since been a division into "Aircraft of country origin" and "Aircraft in country service" to clarify each piece of equipment and allow it to separately be classified by where it originated, and by who is operating them. Perhaps military equipment at large needs to have a similar delineation made? Placing Category:Type 69 RPG directly within the PLA tree would indicate all of the media of it depicts Type 69's in Chinese service. The reality is that it is variant of the RPG-7 (of Soviet origin) so should be under Category:RPG-7, and since the specific Type 69 variant is of Chinese origin, it should be under something like Category:Grenade launchers of Chinese origin and Category:Antitank rockets of Chinese origin.

- Yes origin and service cat could be something. I think about it. It should be then discussed in the firearmy by country cat But the grenade launcher cat should also be tidy up, in another disucssion.--Sanandros (talk) 19:34, 11 April 2019 (UTC)
@Sanandros and Themightyquill: Closed (should be categorized more clearly, but this probably needs to be built from a higher level than this specific piece of equipment) Josh (talk) 23:13, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
