Creek War Sticker throwing an error for a 2nd Creek War participant

I'm working on a profile for a soldier who served during the 2nd Creek War (1836) in Alabama.

The Creek War sticker is throwing an error into the suggestions. "Born after template time frame" I suspect that sticker only encompasses the 1st Creek War time frame. 

What is the best option for a sticker?  

Note: There is a Category called Creek War of 1836.

There is no sticker for the second Creek War, but you should use the category. We don't have stickers for every war, but we do have a Veteran Recognition you could use instead.

Creek War had a project at one time, but I don't think there is a leader and I'm not sure how active it is. (I lead Military and War but I don't see posts from this project in our group).

Thank you. Can we have a sticker for the second Creek War? That's what I was after, since the one that was originally applied to the profile throws an error.

There are currently about 12 profiles in the second Creek War category, and I'm sure it will grow over time. Plus an appropriate sticker will stop the error/suggestions on any of the current profiles of 2nd Creek War vets that are using that sticker. How difficult is it to create a sticker that is tied to 2nd Creek War category?

I'm not just thinking about what I'm working on. Anyone who creates or updates a profile for a 2nd Creek War veteran in the future will probably try to use the Creek War sticker since it doesn't have a time frame specified on it.

This isn't a typical little war/skirmish because there is another one of the same name.

Please follow the instructions for requesting a new sticker.
Thank you
