One thing that seems missing is the side names. We have commanders and forces, but not faction names which seems odd. --Neufeld 07:19, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Also, the coloring of the box needs to follow the skin set in user preferences. It would also be nice to have an InfoBox better suited for whole wars, as opposed to individual battles. --Neufeld 07:54, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Several comments: I thought about faction sides too, but wasn't really sure how to implement. I'll re-engage on that one. I also believe you're right about integration with skin colors. I 'like' the colors of the new box style (which I believe Frabby developed), but skin integration is more important. I disagree that there should be an infobox for war instead of battles, but I can see one for wars also. I built the battles one because of my work on the UBP, but because I'm so involved in the Planet Overhaul right now, I don't see myself working on that again for a bit. If you see a need for a Wars one sooner, you could easily replicate my steps with the battles one. Otherwise, I'll put it on my To Do list.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 11:14, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I meant also for Wars. Regarding number of articles, we have more articles that covers wars or major campaigns than those that covers battles. As for formating, consider taking a look at how wikipedia does it. (left-right split) --Neufeld 11:23, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- For reference purposes, can you link to a WP page using that split? And, yeah, I agree with you regarding numbers of articles about wars vs. battles; I just meant that I myself was more interested in writing about battles than wars, so hadn't a need to develop a Wars box so far.--Revanche (talk|contribs) 11:31, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
- Here is an example: Battle of Breitenfeld (1631) --Neufeld 12:00, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hey - So I'm very appreciative that someone made this box. I was wondering if we could expand it, as Neu suggested above. ClanWolverine101 (talk) 05:34, 30 October 2012 (PDT)
