+ | ::: Service probably works, which would free 'branch' for regular/territorial. Another option would be 'category'. These overloaded terms are going to make the documentation more important but hopefully I can include labels in the infoboxes to make it easier. --[[User:Mia|Mia]] ([[User talk:Mia|talk]]) 14:35, 19 November 2014 (PST) |

Some questions/thoughts as a starter for ten: --Mia (talk) 11:23, 19 November 2014 (PST)
- We'll need a list of country names to ensure consistency e.g. United Kingdom, Britain, Great Britain? --Mia (talk) 11:23, 19 November 2014 (PST)
- "British Army" is always the name of the branch/service, but "United Kingdom" is the best name for the country because it included the whole of Ireland at that time. Data for locations/theatres may need to divide "home" service into Great Britain and Ireland to cater for the Easter Rising.--GavinRobinson (talk) 12:44, 19 November 2014 (PST)
- What's the best label for the 'regular/territorial' field? --Mia (talk) 11:23, 19 November 2014 (PST)
- Not sure. Wikipedia sometimes uses "branch" for this but more often for the same thing as you're using branch for. What you're calling branch is called "service" at IWM Lives.--GavinRobinson (talk) 12:44, 19 November 2014 (PST)
