ContentsUsage
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. The infobox should be added using the {{infobox military conflict}} template, as shown below: {{Infobox military conflict | conflict = | partof = | image = | caption = | date = | place = | coordinates = | map_type = | map_relief = | latitude = | longitude = | map_size = | map_marksize = | map_caption = | map_label = | territory = | result = | status = | combatants_header = | combatant1 = | combatant2 = | combatant3 = | commander1 = | commander2 = | commander3 = | units1 = | units2 = | units3 = | strength1 = | strength2 = | strength3 = | casualties1 = | casualties2 = | casualties3 = | notes = | campaignbox = }} Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE). Parameters
CampaignboxesOne common type of navigational template in articles concerning conflicts, wars and related topics is the campaignbox template, intended to provide convenient navigation among articles on the battles in a campaign, front, theater or war (or, more rarely, among several campaigns or wars). If the article includes an infobox, the campaignbox/es are usually placed immediately after it (i.e. just below it). If available, as with infoboxes such as {{Infobox military conflict}}, use the infobox's {{Infobox military conflict ... }} {{Campaignbox XXXX}}or
Articles may include multiple campaignboxes; typically, these are stacked under the infobox. The most common scenario occurs when two levels of campaignboxes are present – for example, an article about a battle can include both a campaignbox listing the battle itself and an "enclosing" campaignbox listing the campaign, theater or war during which the battle took place. Similarly, an article about a war can include both a campaignbox listing the war (among a series of wars) and a campaignbox for the war itself, listing the battles that took place during it.
Existing campaignboxes may be viewed through the Campaignbox template category to which campaignboxes are added automatically. If a new campaignbox becomes necessary, it should be named Template:Campaignbox XXXX (where XXXX is the (shortened) name of the campaign) and should use Template:Tlf thus: {{Campaignbox | name = | title = | battles = | notes = }}
The following optional parameters are passed on to the templates {{Military navigation}} or {{Navbox}} used to create campaignboxes and so can affect their styling. See these two templates' documentation pages for further details.
The use of special formatting (such as bolding or changes in font size) in the list of battlesTemplate:Spaced ndashparticularly to mark battles as "important"Template:Spaced ndashis generally discouraged; while there are a few cases where such approaches may be both helpful to the reader and sufficiently well-sourced that they do not constitute original research, they are usually both unnecessary and potentially confusing. Similarly, dividing the list of battles into multiple blocks by inserting heading-like separations should be exceptional; if such a division is felt to be needed, a better solution may be to split the one campaignbox into two or more. Operational plan box
An operational plan box may be used to describe a particular planned or executed military operation or attack. For operations that resulted in combat, it can be used as an auxiliary template to the military conflict infobox, if necessary; for other types of operations, including those that were planned but never executed, it may be used alone. In the case of conflicts that consisted of multiple independent operations, multiple copies of the box may be used on a single article. The box should be added using the {{Infobox operational plan}} template, as shown below: {{Infobox operational plan | name = | partof = | image = | caption = | scope = | type = | location = | coordinates = | map_type = | latitude = | longitude = | map_size = | map_caption = | map_label = | planned = | planned_by = | objective = | target = | date = <!-- {{Start date|YYYY|MM|DD|df=y}} --> | time = | time-begin = | time-end = | timezone = | executed_by = | outcome = | casualties = | fatalities = | injuries = }} Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#CITE).
