Two articles in the topic are featured articles, and the lead article is a GA, so I think the topic meet the FTC criteria. As veteran users like Hog Farm continue to work on American Civil War articles, I think there could be other featured topics like this one. Some potential ACW topics close to being FTCs are Camden’s Expedition, Price’s Missouri Raid, and the longshot Vicksburg campaign. —Matarisvan (talk) 12:23, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Shouldn’t this topic include the Union and Confederate order of battle lists? Idiosincrático (talk) 04:50, 26 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  @Idiosincrático, I also pondered this question, but decided not to include the ORBATs. I saw the only featured topic which had ORBATs, the Guadalcanal campaign, did not include the Battle of Guadalcanal order of battle in the topic list. However, warfare good topics do include ORBATs, so I’m not sure right now. Maybe the coordinators could help make a decision? Matarisvan (talk) 10:26, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  As the primary author of the articles here, I would think the way to go would be either have a Battle of Prairie Grove topic with the two orders of battle or to expand Prairie Grove Campaign from a redirect, and then have the campaign lead with the three battles as the subarticles.
