Can anyone site the (historial) use of the Chi designation for medium tanks prior to 1936? Since from what I know about Japanese tanks, it wasn't until around that time that they first started using that system and prior to that used the -Go system of designation with the Ha-Go being, afaik, the last tank to use that designation. 2A02:A443:FA31:1:C030:E4F7:96C1:B56D ( talk) 10:17, 21 May 2018 (UTC)
I apologize for ignorance about Wikipedia and bad English. Due to it I don't know how should I modify article so I'm writing about this issue here.
Title of this page is "Type 87 Chi-I medium tank", but there are multiple problems.
About name
According to the reference book, name of the tank was "試製第1号戦車" and it was translated to "Experimental Tank, No 1" in the book. In addition, there aren't any mention that it was called 八七式 (Type 87) or similar names.

About "Chi-I"
According to the book written by retired officers of Army 4th technical research institute (陸軍第四技術研究所) including Tomio Hara, code name of "Chi-I" was assigned for "Type 89 Medium Tank".
Reference:
四研会, 1982, 「四研史 : 第四陸軍技術研究所の歩み」, appendix 1-6, NCID: BN12957806
(translation: Shikenkai, 1982, "Shikenshi: History of 4th Army technical research institute")
Shikenkai is group of retired engineer and officers of 4th institute.
As shown in references, this tank was never called "Type 87" or "Chi-I". Because of it, I thinks this is inappropriate as the title of the article and it should be replaced to "Experimental Tank No.1".
