Could this not be shortened to "Commands"? It would be concise, communicate the very same information, and decrease the width of the lefthand parameters column when displayed (thereby less frequently causing uncontrolled line breaking in both columns). — Fourthords | =Λ= |22:44, 6 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
As mentioned above, reducing all instances "Commands held" to "Commands" for (a) concision, (b) reducing induction of visible unintended parameter & variable line-breaking, (c) equally communicating the exact same meaning, (d) and to match the infobox code itself. — Fourthords | =Λ= |18:38, 11 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

There's been quite a bit of discussion on Talk:Tim Walz regarding the rank field here. The documentation used to say highest rank unless reduced, but that was changed three years ago. It's also been raised that if Tim Walz is listed as a Command Sergeant Major, because he held that rank until retirement, then Ronny Jackson should be listed as a RDML. Any thoughts about how this should properly work? Thanks. --SarekOfVulcan (talk)15:08, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
The discussions at those talk pages should not be forked to here. The discussion that led to the 2021 template documentation change was this one at WP Military history. If consensus cannot be reached at the article's talk page, you could post a note at the WikiProject page to ask people to visit. – Jonesey95 (talk) 21:07, 12 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I'm not trying to fork the discussions - I'm looking for confirmation — or not — that the documentation still matches the larger consensus over the use of this field. I don't usually work in the MilHist realm, so I don't know the best practices. --SarekOfVulcan (talk)15:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
I encourage the requester to test their new parameter on the testcases page. I expect that an error will appear in Preview mode; the new parameter needs to be added to the unknown parameter check. This advice goes for all three edit requests filed by the requester. – Jonesey95 (talk) 02:58, 16 August 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done. Feel free to update the documentation for consistency. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Not done pending a response to MSGJ's queries elsewhere * Pppery * it has begun... 22:07, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
