I moved this article from Demi-Brigade (Military formation) to Demi-Brigade once, and it has been moved back again, so let us discuss.
As I said them I moved it, what other sort of Demi-Brigade is there, other than the (French) military formation? Pre-emptive disambiguation seems entirely unnecessary here - after they lost the qualms about the ancien régime name "régiment", even the Revolutionary French recognised that "demi-brigade" was a silly name; save for some later French formations, such as the 13th Foreign Legion Demi-Brigade, as far as I am aware, no-one else has used the term. Even following the MILHIST guidelines, they suggest an "optional disambiguator": none is required here.
Thinking again, I also wonder if the capitalisation is correct - surely it should be demi-brigade, unless talking about an actual unit? The French Wikipédia has its article at fr:demi-brigade, for example.
Finally, ignoring the "Demi-Brigade/demi-brigade", the disambiguator itself is incorrectly capitalised - surely it should be Demi-Brigade (military formation)? -- ALoan (Talk) 10:29, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
I have moved it (and created some more redirects).
A nice article, by the way. It would be good to have some discussion of post-Revolutionary demi-brigades, such as the Foreign Legion, and Norwegian Campaign order of battle suggests in the Chasseurs Alpins and a Polish unit (perhaps a unit in the Free French army manned by Poles?). -- ALoan (Talk) 15:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
