I suggest deleting this page. We do not have pages for unit's nick names. The unit is the [[4th Regiment (12th Star Guards)]], even if called RattFraggs. And by the way, all 12th Star Guards units have a nick name, and this is the only one that points to the page of the nick name and not the unit's name.--[[User:Pserratv|Pserratv]] ([[User talk:Pserratv|talk]]) 14:11, 1 July 2019 (EDT) | I suggest deleting this page.
