Some thoughts
- We should add Battles to the Military category tree under Browse Content. It is also missing from the list on the Fibiwiki Main Page.
- There is an article waiting to be written on the role of horses in the military starting with details of the Stud and Remount Department.
- We need an editor to keep updating the Featured Campaign and Did you Know sections.
- Is there an easy way to search for dates in the database? Otherwise how do we find the anniversaries?

- 1. That's because it is a subcat of Wars. Shall I move it up into the main military category? Then it will auto appear in both the lists.
- 2. India focused?
- 3. I am happy to make the changes to the page but we can decide which campaign to feature each month on the fp:mil discussion page. Monthly is surely enough at the moment. DYK is more difficult, but I thought it was a nice way to point people to certain articles they mightn't see otherwise. Maybe we could just add a DYK when we come across something we think could go there. If you think the section won't work we can ditch it.
- 4. Well, I just searched for October (for the month I wanted) and combatant1 (to narrow results to battle articles - it's a word unique to them).
