Campaignboxes are designed for campaigns within a larger war. I think it stretches the concept too far to consider the Arab–Israeli conflict as a single war (of which wars like the Yom Kippur War and Six-Day War are mere campaigns). It's much more nuanced, and Template:Arab-Israeli conflict engagements, which is a child of the larger Template:Arab–Israeli conflict, serves the subject much better. It's different in that it's a navbox, but it repeats all of the contents of this template. I propose this template is therefore redundant, and that a campaignbox for the Arab–Isreali conflict (not "Arab–Isreali war") is incorrect. Bsherr (talk) 21:30, 28 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. However, this Template:Arab-Israeli conflict engagements should be added in replacement to this Template:Campaignbox Arab-Israeli conflict in every article where appears.--AndresHerutJaim (talk) 22:24, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. That'll have to be done manually since one appears in the top section and the other at the bottom of the article. But we can designate it in the holding cell for review instead of immediately to orphaning. --Bsherr (talk) 22:40, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Some of the polites of the Arab-Isreali conflict have been in a state of war with isreal since 1948 (Syria), or were for lengthy periods of time (Egypt, Jordan). Thus from one point of view the arab isreali conflict can be seen as one great war with several bouts of fighting in the same manner as the hundred years war.XavierGreen (talk) 21:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I acknowledge that's a possible viewpoint, but, at the minimum, if it is legitimate, it ought to be first included in the lede of the Arab–Israeli conflict article, and sourced, before considered in the design of templates on the topic. --Bsherr (talk) 16:29, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The inclusion of some military operations (not only wars) and the exclusion of other bouts of fighting in this template is totally arbitrary. This is the only complete template that should be included in every article about Arab-Israeli engagements.--AndresHerutJaim (talk) 21:41, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
