Template talk:War

Previous, Concurrent, Next fields
Would someone please explain the reasoning behind the Previous, Concurrent, and Next fields in this template (beyond we copied the template from Wookieepedia)? It seems to me that wars are somewhat independent events, and these fields seem to imply connections that don't really exist (one war leading to another leading to another). If two conflicts are connected, wouldn't they be considered part of the same war? -- Xerxes 15:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
