Both All three templates fail WP:TG on multiple points. The function and especially the scope of the templates are not clearly documented, and therefore it is also unclear what the titles and contents should be. The edit history shows that editors also have no clear idea what these templates are about.

The first template - created by now-blocked User:Scarfaced Charley in 2011 - was originally named 'Early Israelite Campaigns', then renamed 'Battles in the biblical narrative of the conquest of Canaan' because 'more accurate', but then reverted back to 'Early Israelite Campaigns'. The article Early Israelite Campaigns was merged into Book of Joshua in 2017, so that led me to rename the template to 'Book of Joshua battles' with the reason 'As the historicity of these battles is questioned, it's best to focus on them as literary narratives from the Book of Joshua.' Someone else, @Benjitheijneb: had, however, added Battle of Gibeah (which redirects to Levite's concubine), a narrative in the Book of Judges 19–21, not Joshua. They themselves indicated some uncertainty over whether this battle fit the template by saying 'added Gibeah - unclear whether this should be in early or later Israelite campaigns'.

Similar issues emerged in the second template (originally created in 2013 by User:אשכנזישעיידן, who apparently became inactive in 2014). The fact that the title of the template is the vague 'Campaigns of the Israelites', the display name is 'Campaigns of the ancient kingdoms of Israel and Judah', and that this text links to the (really, really generic) article 'Jewish history' rather than a specific war, also shows no clear focus, scope or function. The same user Benjitheijneb was unsure whether Battle of Bitter Lakes was 'relevant' to the template (and also added some other ancient Israelite wars that are not mentioned in the Bible, but are in extrabiblical sources). @PatGallacher: removed it again saying 'not clear Bitter Lakes did involve Israel or Judah', but @AncientEgypt23: reverted this again, before @Greyshark09: removed it again. I made a final attempt at periodisation a few hours ago, but then concluded this is a mess that I can't make sense of.

(Addition 5 May) The third template - also created by now-blocked User:Scarfaced Charley in 2011 - has similar issues. The only criterion on which Scarfaced Charley appears to have based the distinctions 'early' and 'later' is whether they are mentioned in the Book of Joshua (early) or the books of Judges, Samuel, Kings and Chronicles (later). The problem is that there isn't a neat chronological distinction in the contents of these books; e.g. Judges 1 contains material also covered in Joshua 2 to 19 about the conquest of Canaan; Joshua just provides way more details about what should be the same time period. Once again this template fails WP:TG by not having a clear scope and function.

Are these campaignboxes lists of Hebrew Bible battles? Historical ancient Israelite/Judahite battles? Should they include fictional battles or only non-fictional ones? Battles involving Israelites only mentioned in extrabiblical sources? Both? We can't ask the creators anymore, because neither is active on Wikipedia anymore, so we have to figure this out ourselves. Besides, these aren't interlinked battles of well-defined "campaigns"; when I found them, both all three templates featured a rather random mix of historical, semi-historical and non-historical battles not arranged in any proper way (alphabetical, chronological, biblical canon-wise, etc.). Campaignboxes should really only be used for battles that are part of the same war, or a very closely linked set of wars (e.g. Template:Campaignbox French Wars of Religion; these wars are interrupted by short periods of peace, but clearly closely related within a timespan of 4 decades). The battles/wars in these campaignboxes are not clearly related, nor are they covering a limited timespan; the difference between the estimated dates of the oldest and most recent battles are about 500 years. These templates have just become dumping grounds for anything related to battles narrated in the Hebrew Bible and extrabiblical sources involving the ancient Israelites/Judahites, whether they are historical or not. That's not what campaignboxes are for. I've tried to make some improvements, but I now think they cannot be salvaged.

Whatever legitimate and useful function they may or could have had is much better carried out by Warfare in the Hebrew Bible (which was recently created by @BD2412:, and is set up to be broad enough to discuss any military actions mentioned in the Hebrew Bible or reflections on past or future wars, with ample space to discuss historicity), and the existing Category:Hebrew Bible battles (which in my view should focus on literary aspects of biblical texts about war) and Category:Wars of ancient Israel (which should in my view be exclusively about actual military history and not include any battles which scholars agree (probably) never happened). If these purposes of these two categories were not clear yet, then I propose that we agree on them right here, and right now, before more confusion can arise in the future. In any case, virtually every Wikipedia article that mentions the conquest of Canaan and other aspects of the Book of Joshua pretty much already says that the accounts are probably mostly if not entirely un-historical. I'm not sure if there is a rule for this yet (this may be a better question for WP:MILHIST), but I thought that English Wikipedia had a rule of not creating campaignboxes about wars that never happened, to maintain a clear distinction between history and literary fiction. (If there is none, then maybe we should introduce it). (Addition 5 May) I now remember: material related to the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history has a strict policy of separating fact from fiction; the 14th-century novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms (ROTK) is considered historical fiction and not a reliable source for the end of the Han dynasty and military history of the Three Kingdoms. The Template:Three Kingdoms editnotice warns editors about this in many articles. Therefore, Template:Campaignbox End of Han and Template:Campaignbox Three Kingdoms may not feature fictonal battles such as the Battle of Hulao Pass that is based on the ROTK. In any case, I think we better delete these templates because they create more issues than they solve. Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 23:25, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The scope of the Warfare in the Hebrew Bible article is a bit of a different issue, but an important one. I'd like to invite Benjitheijneb to come to Talk:Warfare in the Hebrew Bible to discuss what the best way of shaping that article is, and what the best title would be etc. I'm open to a lot of ideas, and the creator BD2412 is as well, we're still at an early stage, so useful imput would be much appreciated over there.

A total of three articles are linked here: the label and its two founders. Each of those already link to and from one another. Inclusion of its discography is also adequately wiki-linked on the label's article and there doesn't need to be a navbox for that.
