Template:Infobox military conflict/doc

A warbox is not compulsory! Some conflicts do not lend themselves to its use; it is better to omit it than to grossly over-simplify the conflict merely for the benefit of having it.

If present, it should use Warbox, like this:

Parameter notes:
 * Any parameters can be ommitted if desired; the choice of which parameters are appropriate for a particular conflict is left to the discretion of the article editors.
 * The "partof" parameter should indicate the related war when using the template on a battle article. When used on a war article, it can be used to link the war to a group of wars, when appropriate.
 * The "casus" parameter is used to indicate a formal casus belli; it should not be used for an extended discussion of underlying causes for the war.
 * The "territory" parameter can be used to give a brief description of territory changes; it should likewise not be used for extended descriptions of the peace settlement.

"campaign" parameter
The "campaign" parameter is used to specify a campaign box which allows the reader to navigate through the battles that make up a campaign or war. (If the battlebox describes a stand-alone battle, use Battlebox no campaign as described below.)

First check to see if someone else has already made a campaign box for that campaign; look at WikiProject Battles/Campaignboxes and also at other battles in the campaign in case a previous editor forgot to update the list.

The campaign box template should be named Template:Campaignbox XXXX where XXXX is a short name for the campaign (disambiguate with a date if necessary, for example Template:Campaignbox Somme 1916). The "campaign" parameter is then "XXXX" &mdash; there is no need to append another "Campaign" to the name of the template! For example:


 * |campaign=Somme 1916 uses Template:Campaignbox Somme 1916

The campaignbox should use Template:Campaign, like this:

Notes:
 * The "name" of the campaign should be linked to an article about the campaign, if one exists.
 * "battles" should be an en-dash separated list of battles in the campaign. Abbreviate the names of the battles to keep the box small (for example link to "Battle of YYYY" as YYYY ).
 * Add the campaign box to the list of campaignboxes.
