Template:Infobox military conflict

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

A military conflict infobox (sometimes referred to as a warbox) may be used to summarize information about a particular military conflict (a battle, campaign, war, or group of related wars) in a standard manner.

Information summarized in an infobox should follow the general guidance for writing a lead section. It should not "make claims" or present material not covered by the article. As with a lead section, there is some discretion in citing information in an infobox. The same guidance should be applied to an infobox as given for citations in a lead section. Information in an infobox must conform with verifiability, point-of-view and other policies.

Information in the infobox should not be "controversial". Refer the reader to an appropriate section in the article or leave the parameter blank rather than make an unsubstantiated or doubtful claim.

Note: All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE). Parameters should not be filled in a way that causes an empty field to be displayed; however, it may be unavoidable to display an empty column for one side in the conflict if corresponding information is only available for the other side in the conflict. Avoid the redundant use of question marks, N/A or unknown when particular information is not known (see MOS:INFOBOXUNKNOWN). If a numerical figure is known to be zero, use the term none.

Parameters

• conflict – the name of the conflict being described (e.g. "Battle of Lützen" or "World War I").
• width – optional – the width of the infobox, e.g. "400px"; defaults to: "315px".
• part_of – optional – the larger conflict containing the event described in the article. For battles or campaigns, this should be the war during which the event takes place; for particularly large wars, this may include a theatre (e.g. "the Eastern Front of World War II"). For wars, the parameter may be used to link to a larger group of wars (e.g. the Italian War of 1521–26 to the Italian Wars). It may be necessary to insert "the" before the name of the war for proper grammar.
• image – optional – an image for the warbox. Given in the form Example.jpg
• image_size – optional – a size for the image
• image_upright – optional – a scaling factor for the image to enlarge or reduce it
• alt – optional – Alternative text for image that is accessible to screen readers to help the visually impaired
• caption – optional – the text to be placed below the image.
• date – optional – the date of the conflict described. Convention is to give the actual date for battles and the years for wars, but this does not always apply.
• location – the location of the conflict. For conflicts covering a wide area, a general description (e.g. "France", or "Europe", or "Worldwide") may be used.
• coordinates – optional – the location of the structure, given as a coordinate pair by using {{coord}} with display=inline,title. Used to display the geographic location of the conflict and the location on a map added with the pushpin_map parameter.
• pushpin_map – optional – the base map to be used for the location map, e.g. "Scotland"; see {{location map}} for more details.
• pushpin_relief – optional – "yes" if the location map is a relief map; see {{location map}} for more details.
• pushpin_map_size – optional – width of the location map in pixels (px), e.g. "150"; defaults to: "220".
• pushpin_mark – optional – the name of a file to use as the location map marker, e.g. Green_pog.svg; defaults to: "Red_pog.svg".
• pushpin_mark_size – optional – width of the location map marker in pixels (px), e.g. "10"; defaults to: "8".
• pushpin_caption – optional – caption displayed below the location map; defaults to "Location within {{{pushpin_map}}}", e.g. "Location within Scotland".
• pushpin_label – optional – the label placed next to the marker on the location map.
• mapframe – optional – Show a {{Infobox mapframe}}. See #Mapframe maps for more information.
• territory – optional – any changes in territorial control as a result of the conflict; this should not be used for overly lengthy descriptions of the peace settlement.
• action – optional – In case of Coup d'État, short description of modus operandi, e.g. "...marched over the city...", "...dissolving the Congress of the Republic...", "...take the government hostage ...", "...put the country under military control ...", etc.
• result – optional – this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive". The term used is for the "immediate" outcome of the "subject" conflict and should reflect what the sources say. In cases where the standard terms do not accurately describe the outcome, a link or note should be made to the section of the article where the result is discussed in detail (such as "See the Aftermath section"). Such a note can also be used in conjunction with the standard terms but should not be used to conceal an ambiguity in the "immediate" result. Do not introduce non-standard terms like "decisive", "marginal" or "tactical", or contradictory statements like "decisive tactical victory but strategic defeat". Omit this parameter altogether rather than engage in speculation about which side won or by how much.
• status – optional – for ongoing conflicts, the current status of the conflict. This should not be used if a final result (above) is provided.
• combatants_header – optional – sets the header text for the combatants section. Default is "Belligerents". In case of Coup d'État, use "Government-Insurgents".
• combatant1/combatant2/combatant3 – optional – the parties participating in the conflict. This is most commonly the countries whose forces took part in the conflict; however, larger groups (such as alliances or international organizations) or smaller ones (such as particular units, formations, or groups) may be indicated if doing so improves reader understanding. When there is a large number of participants, it may be better to list only the three or four major groups on each side of the conflict, and to describe the rest in the body of the article. The combatant3 field may be used if a conflict has three distinct "sides", and should be left blank on other articles. Combatants should be listed in order of importance to the conflict, be it in terms of military contribution, political clout, or a recognized chain of command. If differing metrics can support alternative lists, then ordering is left to the editors of the particular article. The practice of writing in a "Supported by" subheading is deprecated (see discussion).
  • combatant1a/combatant2a/combatant3a – optional – in cases where the parties significantly changed over the course of the conflict, these subsidiary fields may be used to provide additional rows for the combatantN fields (above).
  • combatant1b/combatant2b/combatant3b – optional – additional row, as above.
  • combatant1c/combatant2c/combatant3c – optional – additional row, as above.
  • combatant1d/combatant2d/combatant3d – optional – additional row, as above.
  • combatant1e/combatant2e/combatant3e – optional – additional row, as above.
• commander1/commander2/commander3 – optional – the commanders of the military forces involved. For battles, this should include military commanders (and other officers as necessary). To avoid infobox bloat, only prominent or notable leaders should be listed, with an upper limit of about seven per combatant column recommended. Ranks and position titles should be omitted. The {{KIA}} and {{POW}} templates may be included immediately after the names of commanders who were killed in action or surrendered and were taken prisoner, respectively. The commander3 field can only be used if the combatant3 field is set.
  • commander1a/commander2a/commander3a – optional – in cases where the commanders significantly changed over the course of the conflict, these subsidiary fields may be used to provide additional rows for the commanderN fields (above).
  • commander1b/commander2b/commander3b – optional – additional row, as above.
  • commander1c/commander2c/commander3c – optional – additional row, as above.
  • commander1d/commander2d/commander3d – optional – additional row, as above.
  • commander1e/commander2e/commander3e – optional – additional row, as above.
• units1/units2/units3 – optional – the units or formations involved. If a large number of distinct formations is present, it may be better to reference an order of battle in the body of the article than to include the entire list in this field. The units3 field can only be used if the combatant3 field is set.
• strength1/strength2 – optional – the numerical strength of the units involved.

• polstrength1/polstrength2 – optional – In case of Coup d'Etat, political organizations that supported the government (1) respective the insurgents (2).
• milstrength1/milstrength2 – optional – In case of Coup d'Etat, military units that supported the government (1) respective the insurgents (2).

• strength3 – optional – if combatant3 is set, this is a third strength field identical to the two above; if it is not set, this is an alternate combined field for use where only the total participation in a conflict is known.
• casualties1/casualties2 – optional – casualties suffered (including: dead, wounded, missing, captured and civilian deaths) and equipment losses. Note that this section of the infobox is headed "Casualties and losses". Terms such as "dead" (or "killed"), "wounded", or "captured" should be used in place of abbreviations such as "KIA" or "POW". Where equipment losses are reported, this should be confined to major or significant types of equipment broadly categorized such as: tanks, guns (artillery pieces), aircraft, destroyers etc.
• casualties3 – optional – if combatant3 is set, this is a third casualty field identical to the two above; if it is not set, this is an alternate combined field for use where only the total casualties of a conflict are known, or where civilian casualties cannot be directly attributed to either side.
• notes – optional – optional field for further notes; this should only be used in exceptional circumstances.
• campaignbox – optional – optional field for appending a campaignbox template to the bottom of the infobox, which allows both boxes to float as a single element (useful if there are subsequent left floating images, which would otherwise not be able to float above the campaign box); the template must be specified in the format {{Campaignbox XYZ}}.

Pushpin map

Below are the parameters used by Module:Location map to produce the pushpin map in this Infobox. These parameters are available for editors to set in articles that use this infobox.

Parameter	Description	Default
|pushpin_map=	The map(s) to display. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England.Multiple maps can be shown by providing a list of map names separated by #. For multiple maps, the first is shown by default. A reader can select the others with radio buttons.	N/A
|pushpin_caption=	The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. If not provided a default caption will be generated. Multiple captions can be shown when separated by ## (that's two).	Location within MAPNAME
|pushpin_relief=	0/false/off will cause the template to display the map defined as image (generally not a relief map). 1/true/on will cause the template to display the map defined as image1 (generally a relief map). Any non-zero numeric value such as 2 or 3 will display image2 or image3, if those images are defined. Any other non-empty value will cause display of image1. See the example at Location map+/relief.	0
|pushpin_label=	The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a wikilink can be used. You can enclose the label inside of {{nowrap}} if you want to make sure that it stays on a single line.	N/A
|pushpin_label_size=	The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100=smaller, >100=larger); the default size is 90. Do not include %. For example, use |pushpin_label_size=80, not |pushpin_label_size=80%. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark.	90
|pushpin_label_position=	The position of the label relative to the identifying mark; valid values are left, right, top, bottom and none. This defaults to either left or right, depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image. When |pushpin_label_position=none, any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption.	N/A
|pushpin_mark=	The name of an image file to display as the identifying mark; the default is Red pog.svg . See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.	Red pog.svg
|pushpin_mark_size=	The size of the identifying mark in pixels. Do not include px	8
|pushpin_alt=	Alt text for map; used by screen readers. See WP:ALT.	N/A
|pushpin_background=	The background color to use for the label; see Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.	N/A
|pushpin_map_size=	Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values; do not include px.	N/A
