Campaign

A military conflict infobox may optionally be followed by a campaignbox template, which provides quick navigation among the battles in a campaign, theatre, or war (or, more rarely, among several campaigns or wars).

The campaignbox should be included directly after the infobox template:

{{Infobox Military Conflict
...
}}
{{Campaignbox XXXX}}

If multiple campaignboxes are present in an article, they may be stacked following the infobox; alternately, each may be included at the beginning of the section that discusses the campaign in question.

A campaignbox template should be named Template:Campaignbox XXXX, where XXXX is the name of the campaign (or a shortened form of it), and should use {{Campaign}}, as shown below:

{{Campaign
|name=
|battles=
}}
  • name – the name of the campaign or war, which should be linked to an article about the campaign if one exists. Dates should not be indicated unless needed for clarity.
  • battles – an en-dash separated list of battles in the campaign, linked as [[Battle of YYYY|YYYY]].Template:TOCright
    Campaignboxes are generally listed here in chronological order, with some subdivision by geographical area.
