Conflict

This infobox exists for the purpose of providing a uniform and consistent method for displaying conflict high-level details. There is the infobox itself as well as 2 other templates in use for formatting. They are detailed below on their usage and examples are provided within the infobox code example below.

The code for the infobox itself is as follows:

{{Conflict
| name = 
| image = 
| date = 
| location = 
| result = 
| belligerents left = {{belligerent|icon|name}}
| belligerents right = {{belligerent|icon|name}}
| commanders left = {{belligerent|icon|name}}
| commanders right = {{belligerent|icon|name}}
| strength left = {{plainlist|
*
*
}}
| strength right = {{plainlist|
*
*
}}
| casualties left = {{plainlist|
*
*
}}
| casualties right = {{plainlist|
*
*
}}
}}

Belligerent

{{belligerent|icon|name}}

This code is used to provide a belligerent and its national icon. The code can be used for nations, commanders and strength if indicating strength per participant instead of as a whole per side. If there is no accompanying icon, remove the icon| part of the code and it will simply display the nation name correctly.

There is however an alignment issue with mixing belligerents with and without icons. Please see the example below to see the nature of this issue.

If there is a commander or nation without an icon, it creates a spacing issue with entities either above or below.

If you have multiple commanders or nations, simply enter a belligerent line for each entity.

Plainlist

{{plainlist|
*
*
}}

This is used when you have a list of items. It will display a list without any bullet points at all in mediawiki code and not require the use of HTML to force line breaks. It works best for listing items in this template and is preferred.
