I added Operation Woodrose to this template and it was reverted. I didn't realize this was controversial and that is why I added it before posting on the talk page. BilCat brought it to my attention that the Military of India denies the operation occurred, so I hoped someone could provide a reliable source for that. I think the issue over inclusion might have to do with the media blackout imposed on punjab at the time. Reliable sources say the operation occurred.^{[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]}

Am I the only one who feels it's disingenuous to categorize 'Annexations' as 'Internal Conflicts,' when by definition to annex territory it had to have at the time been external to the annexing nation?

I propose removing the 'Internal Conflicts' heading entirely, making 'Annexations' and 'Insurgencies' each direct subcategories of 'Operations' alongside 'Wars' and 'External Conflicts.' 104.246.222.223 (talk) 21:43, 10 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230410214300","author":"104.246.222.223","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-104.246.222.223-20230410214300-'Internal'_Annexations","replies":["c-104.246.222.223-20230417165700-104.246.222.223-20230410214300"]}}-->
