Retire the fan-coined term[]

In the past, Chinese power armor was a fan-coined term that was used to describe a non-Canon (and later hypothetical) power armor developed by Chinese Communists. It was invented due to a lack of an official title.

In Fallout 76, a similar idea was added as part of the Atomic Shop. Eventually, an enemy in the Daily Ops game mode was equipped with the set. However, this unplayable power armor was not called Red Scare. Instead, it is referred to as Communist Power Armor under the hood. Although this moniker is not player-facing, it should still trump a fan-made term.

Now that we finally have an official name for this concept, it is time to say goodbye to the placeholder name. I suggest that we leave "Chinese Power Armor" up as a redirect to maintain SEO and user QoL. Scribe-Howard(talk) 18:23, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

Agreed, especially since the Chinese forces in-game are also referred to as "communist."
