Actually, I would turn that one into normal campaignboxes instead. There's really no need to have these huge templates everywhere (although {{World War II}} is far worse in this regard). 02:08, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
The Yugoslavian Front (WWII) article is progressing nicely. It makes sense to divorce it from the Balkans Campaign, which focuses mainly on German and Italian invasions of Albania, Greece in Yugoslavia ending in 1941. Not sure if it needs to be this prominent. On one hand, it certainly was strategically important, as as large as some other parts of WWII linked to from this template. On the other hand, it would make sense to create a "Balkans sub-theater" article, which would branch out to the Balkans campaign, Yugoslav front, Greek Resistance, Allied operations in the area (air raids, eg on Ploesti), and Soviets entering the fray in 1944.

When is it actually called this? Was Operation Dragoon part of the "North West Europe" campaign as well? The article is called western front, so why not "Western Front (1944-1945)"? john k (talk) 23:07, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly what I was thinking, the Ecuadoran border conflict of 1941 has so relevance to WW2 other than they were fought at the same time. I am making changes now.--Az81964444 (talk) 07:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
