The result of the proposal was OK, I'm going to cut the slack here. The phrase War in Afghanistan is most commonly referred & linked to the ongoing war; it's admittedly a recentism, but one that apparently won't go away soon. Ergo, it should redirect to War in Afghanistan (2001–present). Per Ewlyahoocom and Dekimasu, this page will be moved to War in Afghanistan (disambiguation), because it is, at least currently, a dab page. Having a Military history of Afghanistan as a separate article is an appealing idea, but someone should write it first; before that Wars in Afghanistan will redirect to the dab page.

None of the linked articles are called "War in Afghanistan" - if anything it should be Afghan War, as most of the linked articles are variations on that. There's also the possibility of renaming as Military history of Afghanistan, and allowing expansion into a proper article. Jonathan Oldenbuck 13:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's not the links on the page, it's the links to the page, which can be found here. Ewlyahoocom 15:32, 11 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Nevertheless that disambig exists. I'll move Anglo-Afghan war (war in lowercase) from here to there. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 15:28, 18 November 2008 (UTC)Reply

The page has a link for Islamic conquest in the 7th and 8th centuries but its leaving out the Mongol Invasion and conquest which happens later the mongol conquest happined in two parts one part in the period from 1209 to 1227 and the second part was 1227 to 1279. but afganistan was not area of loose control like the russian municipalities or Turkey and caucus states. and the people in Iran were called Khwarizm Shahdom. but my point is if your going to include a much earlier Islam conquest then the later mongol conquest should also be included. i dont know much about afganistans history and ill be happy when i see how all this turns out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.51.212.6 (talk) 23:26, 10 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

War in AfghanistanWar in Afghanistan (disambiguation) — Move dab page to make way for redirect, move redirect page, which will then be pointed at War in Afghanistan (2001-present) per discussion on talk pages. Thundermaker (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

I tried to do this myself (non-admin) but it created an extra redirect when I did the first move. Doh! Thundermaker (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

War in AfghanistanWar in Afghanistan

Please take into consideration of redirects such as Afghan War and Afghanistan War (often used as common names for the First, Second and Third Anglo-Afghan War), Wars in Afghanistan (can refer to the previously mentioned Anglo-Afghan Wars, the Afghan Civil War, or Babur's wars, among others), and more. The civil war in Afghanistan (of which the present conflict is a continuation) was commonly known as War in Afghanistan during the 1990s. walk victor falk talk 05:54, 19 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

RfC: Naming of these articles

edit

Please discuss what names these two articles should have: War in Afghanistan (2001–present) and War in Afghanistan (disambiguation). Please also discuss where the following should redirect, if not used as either of the article titles: War in Afghanistan, Afghanistan War, Afghan War. Fences&Windows 23:53, 29 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Organization is inaccurate/arbitrary

edit

Despite the heading "Modern-era conflicts" separating half the page, the vast majority of conflicts on this page are modern as opposed to ancient or Medieval. The only conflicts that aren't modern:
