Project news

• The new consolidated review department—combining the existing project peer review and A-Class review with a listing of project articles undergoing various external featured content candidacies and reviews—is now operational.
• Two new templates have been introduced:
  • {{Infobox Firearm Cartridge}}, a primary infobox for use with firearm cartridges and artillery shells.
  • {{Command structure}}, an auxiliary infobox designed for use with {{Infobox Military Unit}}.
• An effort is being made to have task forces maintain annotated bibliographies for their topic areas; several task forces have already begun to construct them.
• The project reached two important milestones this month: 500 active members and 30,000 articles in the assessment system.
• A military version of Wikipe-tan has been created; a new userbox featuring one of the images is available for interested project members.

Current proposals and discussions

• {{Infobox National Military}} is being developed to replace the old {{Military}} template; comments on the draft version are welcome.
• A proposal to introduce a category tree for military campaigns, as well as a number of associated classification guidelines, is being discussed; comments would be very appreciated.
