This template is intended as an overview of the Vietnam War in general.  Please, in order to keep it readable:
* Do NOT add this template to every related article (e.g. Richard Nixon).  It should only go on core Vietnam War articles.
* Do NOT include every single battle; that is for {{tl|Campaignbox Vietnam War}}.
* Do NOT include connected articles on overly detailed or small subtopics.  There are probably more than 1,000 articles that are in [[:Category:Vietnam War]] and its subcategories.  This template is focused on the most general overview possible.
* The template currently includes no people.  This may be the wrong call, but I suspect that once a single person is added, the floodgates for including 30 people will open up.  I think the generals/politicians/activists/etc. are adequately linked in the articles as is, so.
