Was there a previous consensus that the infobox result should be limited to just "See Aftermath" at all? It seems pretty obvious what the result was - a Pyrrhic British victory. It's not as if the result is in question - the British took the ground and drove the colonial forces from the Peninsular, but suffered irreplaceable casualties that prevented them from following-up on their victory.

Description of the result in the infobox as "See Aftermath" defers to the broad community consensus not to use such terms as "Pyrrhic" in the infobox per WP:MILMOS, noting that MILMOS explicitly defers to the template documentation. Apologies that I did not see this question earlier. Regards, Cinderella157 (talk) 01:45, 25 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
"see aftermath" in this case makes sense. It was clearly a British victory, as they took the hill, and the numbers of dead weren't that different really, in that the Brits lost about 240 killed, but the US lost 120 or so. That's the sort of number you might expect from taking a fortified position, so its nothing too amazing. However British General Sir Henry clinton refers to it as a Pyrhic victory, so it appears that's how it was percieved. Deathlibrarian (talk) 00:20, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".
The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.
