It occurred to me that to answer the question "what sort of thing did my ancestor's unit do?", the specific unit type is much more informative than an abstract Arm. Making the unit type in the infobox into a link to a page like this avoids:

  • trying to define Arms separately from actual legal and administrative structures
  • having to show an extra piece of information in a unit infobox that partly duplicates info already there
  • having to assign every regiment/corps to an Arm
