A civil conflict infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular civil conflict (for example, protest, strike, clash with police) in a standard manner. This template is designed for non-military conflicts, so please do not use on the entry of military conflict.

Usage

edit

The infobox should be added using the {{Infobox civil conflict}} template, as shown below:

All parameters are optional parameters, the general please fill out conflict, date, place, result. Can also follow the different nature of the conflict, to adopt the parameters.

  • title – the name of the conflict being described (e.g. "2011 Wisconsin budget protest").
  • subtitle – alternative name of the conflict being described (e.g. "2011 budget repair bill protests in wisconsin").
  • partofoptional – the larger conflict containing the event described in the article. For protests, it could be larger encompassing movement.
  • imageoptional – an image for the infobox. The image must be given in the form [[File:Example.jpg|300px|alt=Example alt text]]; in particular, the thumb attribute must not be selected.
  • captionoptional – the text to be placed below the image.
  • dateoptional – the date of the conflict described. Convention is to give the actual date for the civil conflict.
  • time – The time of the civil conflict, or of multiple civil conflict if they all occurred at the same time (do not use this along with time-begin and time-end)
  • time-begin and time-end – The start and end times, respectively, if a series of civil conflict (do not use this along with time)
  • timezone – The timezone of the location of the civil conflict(s); UTC+X, UTC−X, or UTC (i.e. offset from UTC) preferred
  • place – the location of the conflict. For conflicts covering a wide area, a general description (e.g. "France", or "Europe", or "Worldwide") may be used.
  • coordinatesoptional – the location of the structure, given as a coordinate pair by using {{coord}} with display=inline,title.
  • map_typeoptional – the base map to be used for the location map, e.g. "Scotland"; see {{location map}} for more details.
  • map_sizeoptional – width of the location map in pixels (px), e.g. "150"; defaults to: "220".
  • map_captionoptional – caption displayed below the location map; defaults to "Location within {{{map_type}}}", e.g. "Location within Scotland".
  • map_labeloptional – the label placed next to the marker on the location map.
  • goalsoptional – goal for the conflict. For instance, Regime change, human rights, democracy.
  • methodsoptional methods used in the civil dispute. Many terms can be used. For instance, Protest march, Picketing, Street protesters, Petitions, Sit-in, Riot, Hunger strike, Suicide, Bombing, Strike, Walkout, Lockout, Boycott, or Book burning. See: Protest#Forms of protest.
  • statusoptional – for ongoing conflicts, the current status of the conflict. This should not be used if a final result (above) is provided.
  • resultoptional – The choice of term should reflect what the sources say. In cases where the standard terms do not accurately describe the outcome, a link to the section of the article where the result is discussed in detail (such as "See the 'Aftermath' section") should be used instead of introducing non-standard terms like "marginal" or contradictory statements. It is better to omit this parameter altogether than to engage in speculation about which side won or by how much.
  • side1/side2/side3optional – the parties participating in the conflict. When there is a large number of participants, it may be better to list only the three or four major groups on each side of the conflict, and to describe the rest in the body of the article. The side3 field may be used if a conflict has three distinct "sides", and should be left blank on other articles. Sides should be listed in order of importance to the conflict, be it in terms of political clout, or a recognized chain of command. If differing metrics can support alternative lists, then ordering is left to the editors of the particular article.
    • side1a/side2a/side3aoptional – in cases where the parties significantly changed over the course of the conflict, these subsidiary fields may be used to provide additional rows for the sideN fields (above).
    • side1b/side2b/side3boptional – additional row, as above.
    • side1c/side2c/side3coptional – additional row, as above.
    • side1d/side2d/side3doptional – additional row, as above.
  • leadfigures1/leadfigures2/leadfigures3optional – the primary leaders of the sides involved. The leadfigures3 field can only be used if the side3 field is set.
  • units1/units2/units3optional – the people or groups involved. If a large number of distinct groups are present, it may be better to reference the body of the article than to include the entire list in this field. The units3 field can only be used if the side3 field is set.
  • howmany1/howmany2optional – the numerical size of the people involved.
  • howmany3optional – if side3 is set, this is a third size field identical to the two above; if it is not set, this is an alternate combined field for use where only the total participation in a conflict is known.
  • casualties1/casualties2optional – casualties suffered, including dead, wounded, missing, and arrested.
  • casualties3optional – if side3 is set, this is a third casualty field identical to the two above; if it is not set, this is an alternate combined field for use where only the total casualties of a conflict are known, or where civilian casualties cannot be directly attributed to either side.
  • fatalitiesoptional – the numerical size of the dead.
  • injuriesoptional – the numerical size of the injured.
  • arrestsoptional – the numerical size of the arrested.

Default: not specified
    • mapframe-switcher – set to auto or geomasks or zooms to enable Template:Switcher-style switching between multiple mapframes. Default: not specified
      • auto – switch geomasks found in location (P276) and located in the administrative territorial entity (P131) statements on the page's Wikidata item, searching recursively. E.g. an item's city, that city's state, and that state's country.
      • geomasks – switch between the geomasks specified as a comma-separated list of Wikidata items (Q-numbers) in the mapframe-geomask parameter
      • zooms – switch between "zoomed in"/"zoomed midway"/"zoomed out", where "zoomed in" is the default zoom (with a minimum of 3), "zoomed out" is 1, and "zoomed midway" is the average

    • mapframe-geomask-fill – Color used to fill outside geomask features. Default: #606060
    • mapframe-geomask-fill-opacity – Opacity level of fill outside geomask features, a number between 0 and 1. Default: 0.5
    • mapframe-zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10
    • mapframe-length_km or mapframe-length_mi or mapframe-area_km2 or mapframe-area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or square miles). Default: not specified
    • mapframe-frame-coordinates or mapframe-frame-coord – Alternate latitude and longitude coordinates for initial placement of map, using {{coord}}. Default: derived from item coordinates
