::I think search engines are good at dealing with mediawiki & namechanges nowadays, so that shouldn't be a big factor. One common element of the other two invasions is a power imbalance, and a long distance between the two parties, only the former of which is true here. "[[Invasion]]" feels like quite an accurate description for now. If it goes on for ages and/or otherwise acquires more characteristics of a "[[war]]", we can revisit this topic then. -- [[User:Robin|Robin]] ([[User talk:Robin|talk]]) 15:02, 28 February 2022 (UTC)

Timeline

We could try a "timeline" for this, possibly with a different article heading ("Russia-Ukraine war" or similar?). This war could be a short affair or expand into WW3. I regret not being active on the Covid timeline. Terje (talk) 07:50, 26 February 2022 (UTC)---

Reliable information is hard to get by, from either side at this time. Please share your favorite sources. I'll start with: http://thesaker.is/ Urban (talk) 08:38, 26 February 2022 (UTC)
Marko at https://anti-empire.com and https://off-guardian.org/ both give excellent perspective. Terje (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)---

Pagename

Looking at our other wars (list), I see 2 named an "invasion", the United States invasion of Panama and the Afghanistan/2001 Invasion, despite that most of the wars listed have an invader. I suggest renaming this one, but will bow to consensus. "2022 Russian-Ukrainian War"? Terje (talk) 06:59, 28 February 2022 (UTC)---

I opt for the more neutral "war", but maybe a redirect does it, because search engines have already crawled this pagename. Urban (talk) 08:12, 28 February 2022 (UTC)
