{{vd}} The {{tl|Battle Data}} template has the cronology. I really don't see a point to this template. Comments? --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 21:30, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
:bump to get comments
:{{vd}} I honestly do not see the need for it, either. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 21:41, 8 October 2006 (CDT)
::{{vd}} Agree. Down with template clutter. --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:05, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
:::{{vd}} While episode data also contains a chronology redundant with the episode list template, that's a far more core/critical article series. I don't know how most people navigate the battles, but there are currently few enough (even across three seasons) that it doesn't seem like an undue burden to scroll through them chronologically, or just to click on the Colonial Battles (RDM) category if you want to view them all at once. --[[User:Steelviper|Steelviper]] 09:24, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
:::{{keep}} I personally think it works quite well, give great ease of navigation and doesnt clutter the page. I'm not too bothered either way but I thought id just put my view across. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 11:17, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
:::{{vd}}. I prefer the K.I.S.S. principle here; the original template works fine and leaves one less thing to edit. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 11:24, 9 October 2006 (CDT)
:::{{keep}} The battles of the Cylon War are significant and numerous enough to warrant a template like this. The template people to access the different articles on each. -- [[User:Troyian|Troyian]] 17:52, 10 October 2006 (CDT)
::::Maybe if placed on articles that arn't the battle pages, but otherwise it's always going to be directly below the very large {{tl|Battle Data}} template. --[[User:Shane|Shane]] <sup>([[User_Talk:Shane|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/Shane|C]] - [[Special:Editcount/Shane|E]])</sup> 02:19, 22 October 2006 (CDT)
::::What other pages would this thing go on? -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 13:21, 22 October 2006 (CDT)

:::{{keep}} I like it becuase episode pages dont tell me details of the battles and these do and i like too look up stuff about them and the battk\le pages keep it way easy-Snorkel378

==Deletion==
Vote stood at 5-3 as of 23 October. Do we have consensus for deletion? --[[User:Peter Farago|Peter Farago]] 02:35, 17 December 2006 (CST)

:62% for deletion isn't consensus, unless we want to redo the vote. -- [[User:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|Joe Beaudoin]] <sup>[[User talk:Joe Beaudoin Jr.|So say we all]] - [[Battlestar Wiki:Site support|Donate]]</sup> 19:16, 17 December 2006 (CST)
::I think perhaps some more comments are needed on the matter. If another vote was done right away the results would probably be about the same. --[[User:Mercifull|Mercifull]] <sup>([[User talk:Mercifull|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Mercifull|Contribs]])</sup> 04:02, 18 December 2006 (CST)
:{{keep}} The templates at "Category:Navigational Infobox" are wonderful, letting you move with one click from an episode, character, ship, or battle page to any other page in the same category.  If someone had to manually scroll though each episode, character, ship, or battle to reach them all, this site would not be nearly so useful. - [[User:Keithustus|Keithustus]] 10:57, 19 December 2006 (CST)

==Battle missing==

This could use a link to the battle where Natalie's fleet is attacked by the Cavils and she barely escacpes. It was easily the first major battle of the Cylon Civil War. {{unsigned|Blue Rook}}
:That's covered at [[Cylon Civil War]] and discussed on that talk page. The battle to destroy the Resurrection Hub could have an own page maybe, but that initial engagement just doesn't have any substance for an own own article. There is hardly anything to write about it on its own. What's interesting is the circumstances leading up to it and the consequences. And that's better covered in article about the whole war, instead of slavishly creating battle pages for their own sake. I added a link to the section of the Civil War page though. -- [[User:Serenity|Serenity]] 07:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
