[edit] Campaignbox?

Not sure if anyone watches this page directly, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask...

Might it be possible to reformat this template in the standard campaignbox format? It would make it much easier to include in conjunction with {{Infobox Military Conflict}}. Kirill Lokshin 02:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

But it's not a single conflict with a bunch of campaigns or battles, like campaignboxes usually contain. Although I suppose we could make a box to make it look like one...
We have a lot of them now that list a series of wars (e.g. {{Campaignbox Punic Wars}}, {{Campaignbox Italian Wars}}, {{Campaignbox Macedonian Wars}}), so it wouldn't be that unusual. Kirill Lokshin 02:45, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, yeah, I guess so. So it should be pretty simple to change this one? Adam Bishop 05:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Very much so; it just needs to be changed to use {{Campaign}} instead of the regular table markup (and probably moved to {{Campaignbox Crusades}} for consistency?). I just wanted to make sure that there wouldn't be an angry mob on my hands afterwards. Kirill Lokshin 10:04, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I converted it, but it's hidden at the moment...is there any way to include an image, or is that just not a possible field in a campaignbox? Adam Bishop 03:32, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
Not really possible (and it would probably cause alignment problems in cases where the box did actually follow a full infobox, if we added it). On the other hand, though, if {{Infobox Military Conflict}} is added at the top of the articles using this, an image can be included there. Kirill Lokshin 03:13, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
Well, I've changed it to a campaignbox format; let's see what kind of comments we get.
One point of interest: I used short-form links here (e.g. [[First Crusade|First]]), since that's the general convention in most campaignboxes. I don't know if this is too confusing here, though. Kirill Lokshin 02:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
