"Over seven years ago (in 2003) a decision was made to represent the ACW campaigns described in http://www.nps.gov/history/hps/abpp/battles/bycampgn.htm with campaignboxes, regardless of the number of battles in each campaign. Each battle looks the same now because the infobox is followed by a campaignbox. About four years ago some of the one-battle campaigns were rolled into larger categories, although I question whether that helped anyone. My opinion is that I would rather be faced with campaignboxes that sometimes do not have a large number of links than with articles that have arbitrarily different formats. And I do not think editing dozens of articles to react to deleted templates is worth anyone's time. Hal Jespersen (talk) 5:51 pm, 2 July 2010, Friday"

From CWSAC Technical Volume II: Battle Summaries—Theater and Campaign List p. 199:
Theater: Dr. Dallas D. Irvine, the creator and major compiler-editor of Military Operations of the Civil War: A Guide-Index to the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies, 1861-1865 (Washington, DC; The Government Printing Office, 1968-80), wrote that Robert N. Scott, the overall editor of The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies (Washington, DC: The Government Printing Office, 1880-1901), arranged Series I, of that publication, "according to the campaigns and several theaters of operations ..." The Official Records editors recognized five theaters of operations, Main Eastern, Lower Seaboard, Main Western, Trans-Mississippi, and Pacific Coast. Irvine, in the Guide-Index, modified this arrangement by removing the Gulf Approach operations from the Main Western Theater and combining them with tire Lower Seaboard Theater. The Commission study used Irvine's classification system.
Campaign: Campaigns are subsets of theaters. The campaigns in the Commission study are as they appear in the Official Records and Guide-Index, with a few exceptions. Some campaigns that Irvine had placed in the Lower Seaboard and Gulf Approach were transferred to the Western Theater. In these campaigns, the troops involved were wholly or mostly from Main Western Theater commands and were operating basically out of that theater. In addition, the Official Records and Guide-Index did not specifically include all of the battles identified in the Commission study in a campaign, listing these battles instead as singular events. In order to provide a framework in which to evaluate these battles, the Commission added some campaigns, using analysis from secondary sources. Campaigns that span two years, such as the Petersburg Campaign, are listed under both years and the corresponding battles listed under the appropriate year. Name of the Battlefield: This includes the Commission inventory number for each battlefield, for example Gettysburg (PA002). It is a unique number which includes the two-letter postal code for the state and a randomly assigned number (roughly in order of the completion of survey information for the site).
