Template talk:Military

This redirect was nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion on 19 January 2023. The result of the discussion was retarget.

Current target of redirect[edit]

redirecting this template to Template:WikiProject Military history, for one simple reason; apparently way back in 2016, someone mistakenly thought that template:military was a template for that WikiProject.

you can look at Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Military, to see what I mean.

I am editing this redirect, so that this template will have the desired and intended effect. pinging @Rosguill:, who had closed the previous request to modify this redirect, which I had initiated. Sm8900 (talk) 21:37, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Sm8900 There are no transclusions of this template at all, so whatever that 2016 mistake was, it has since been rectified. I am going to retarget this to {{armed forces}}, since every other alias used in the {{country data}} templates has a template that matches said alias, but flag alias-military uses {{armed forces}} instead. --Ahecht (TALK
