Template talk:Campaignbox Operations at the Ohio and Mississippi River Confluence

Deletion?

Does this template really need to be included at Battle of Belmont? It doesn't link to anything else. Bart133 ^{(t) (c)} 16:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I requested that this template be restored. It appears that whoever originally made the campaignboxes followed this list from the Civil War Sites Advisory Committee at the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program and this deleted template in question was the only one missing. It may be counter–intuitive, but a campaignbox with just one battle in it actually can impart value. A campaign can cover lots of ground with zero, one, or few battles fought. And for the sake of consistent appearance on every page, a campaignbox with one battle still imparts information of the CWSAC campaign name (for example Template:Campaignbox Jackson's Operations Against the B&O Railroad) and perhaps a campaign map as in Template:Campaignbox Morgan's Raid in Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio, or Template:Campaignbox Tullahoma or Middle Tennessee Campaign or Template:Campaignbox Streight's Raid in Alabama and Georgia. It also gives a starting point for adding minor battles and skirmishes not rated by the CWSAC such as Template:Campaignbox Mine Run Campaign where the minor engagement Battle of Charlestown was added at some point by an editor to join the CWSAC rated Battle of Mine Run.
