Deletion rationale
I'm not sure what to make of this. It appears to be a failed experiment, judging from its brief use and quick removal on the Dominion War page. Also not sure why the deletion notice appears twice... --From Andoria with Love 04:08, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Discussion
The deletion notice appeared twice because the template makes a call to itself. As for its creation, I am reminded of Wookieepedia. They make heavy use of different things called "infoboxes". This may have been an attempt to bring that type of practice over here. I'm not entirely opposed to that, certainly not on the grounds that "Wookieepedia does it, we should not". I would say that before we implemented something like that, it is a large enough change that it should be discussed over at Ten Forward. --OuroborosCobra talk 04:12, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * We already use "infoboxes", we just call them "sidebars": Template:Sidebar episode, Template:Sidebar starship, ... However, exactly this box/bar has been suggested before, and (IIRC) the consensus was that it isn't really viable on MA. We don't have that many "military conflicts" in the strictest sense (most are single engagements with an invented name), and for the conflicts we do have, we don't know most of the information that is requested by this template.

 * For what it's worth, Forum:Battle Infobox and Memory Alpha:Ten Forward/Archive 2005. Can't find the relevant discussion I'm thinking of, though. -- Cid Highwind 17:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
