Usage

Operational plan box

Template:Operational plan

An operational plan box may be used to describe a particular planned or executed military operation. For operations that resulted in combat, it should be used as an auxiliary template to the military conflict infobox; 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 {{operational plan}} template, as shown below:

{{operational plan
| name        = 
| image       = 
| caption     = 
| scope       = 
| planned     = 
| planned_by  = 
| objective   = 
| executed    = 
| executed_by = 
| outcome     = 
| casualties  = 
}}

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 footnoted to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS#Cite).

  • name – the name of the operational plan; names in multiple languages may be provided.
  • imageoptional – an image of the person. The image must be given in the form [[Image:Example.jpg|300px]]; in particular, the thumb attribute must not be selected.
