Campaignboxes

An 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. Please note that, for particular combinations of the relative sizes of the infobox and the lead section, the presence of a campaignbox may cause bunched up edit links.

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]].

Articles other than those about military conflicts—such as those dealing with personnel or military units—may use the campaignbox formatting to create lists of battles or wars in which the subject participated. In this case, the box should be created by including {{Campaign}} directly in the article, without creating a separate template.Template:TOCright
Campaignboxes are generally listed here in chronological order by the START of the conflict, with some subdivision by theater in the case of extremely complicated conflicts.
