But it doesn't reflect the factual subtitle. The title here says 1918, but the true trend is 1915-1918, which had a bit of a war as well.

There is. From the guidelines:

Apologies, you're correct. I think focusing on the year or years will bury the lede in any case.

It is commonly known as "the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic"

It's a title, not a series of facts
