Template talk:Battles of Manila

Added Battle of Manila Bay

I've added Battle of Manila Bay because it is close enough -- only the "bay" is different -- that it might be confusing. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 04:03, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

What's the purpose of this template?

What's the purpose of this template? We should try to reach a consensus so that we know which battles to include and which to exclude. Option 1: This template is only about battles named "Battle of Manila", and confusingly similar such as "Battle of Manila Bay". This option's goal is to help people who may be confused about the several battles with similar names. Option 2: This template is for all battles in and around Manila regardless of whether of "Manila" is in the name. This option is to provide a comprehensive list of battles involving Manila, regardless of name. So, which option do you prefer? I lean towards option 1, with a link to Battle of Manila. --Iloilo Wanderer (talk) 05:27, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

whatever works, it was created to try to stop this problem, but still people don't seem to understand how templates work. Frietjes (talk) 17:51, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
