One Battle Campaign?

Why does Waynesboro get its own campaignbox? One battle does not equal a campaign. Either more battles should be incorporated into this "campaign" or this campaignbox should be deleted. Roy Al Blue 22:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A little history on the origins of these Campaign templates is in order. They originally all came from following this list from the Civil War Sites Advisory Committee at the National Park Service American Battlefield Protection Program, and as you can see, there are many on the list that have only one battle. It may be counter-intuitive, but a campaignbox with just one battle in it actually imparts value. It's important to understand what a
WP:MILHIST project. I believe that's part of the WP:MILHIST style guide, but I'm not 100% certain. 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 also gives a starting point for an article on the campaign itself as in Streight's Raid and 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.
