Line 64: ::Good moves, though my intent on attacker/defender was to guide editors toward an intuitive layout, not to provide readers with an explanation on a page they won't ever see. For location, I think the better approach is to use it for locations that are more than a single planet. InfoBoxConflict is meant to encompass wars and other large-scale conflicts, and it seems a good fit for something like the [[Fourth Succession War]] or the [[Capellan-St. Ives War]].

[[User:Tosta Dojen|Tosta Dojen]] ([[User talk:Tosta Dojen|talk]]) 19:52, 7 August 2020 (EDT) − − :::I would ultimately like to see something similar to what we have with the Military commands where we use the Regiment as the base unit for an article ([[Fifth Sword of Light]] > [[Sword of Light]] > [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] with anything below regiment being included in the "Compsition History" section unless it is a special case like [[Sorenson's Sabres]]). I think planet scale "Battle of xxxx" articles should be our base article because it allows for the scope of a fully detailed planetary campaign or instances where we have little more info than a battle happened between two factions. The next level is a bit more vague in my head at the moment but I am thinking things like the various waves and multi-planet operations of the various wars, and then finally an article about the war itself that will mostly deal with the political and historical reasoning and ramifications. − − :::In this kind of structure Location could either be used on the planetary level to denote locations of individual actions that would be then detailed in the body of the article ("Beckvern Hill") or we could use it in the middle level articles for more geopolitical-regional locations like ("Commonwealth/Combine Border")--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 21:17, 7 August 2020 (EDT) − − ::::I like everything you've said except the part where 'Location' gets used in exactly opposite ways. I see the need to have both 'on-planet' and 'beyond-planet' locations, but I think using the same field for both will lead to problems. I don't have a better suggestion at the moment, though. − − ::::Any thoughts on the current implementation displaying 'Location' even when it's blank? I've been trying to think of a reason why it shouldn't be hidden like every other field, and I'm coming up empty. [[User:Tosta Dojen|Tosta Dojen]] ([[User talk:Tosta Dojen|talk]]) 09:09, 17 August 2020 (EDT) − − :::::Sorry, rereading my reply I was not as clear as I intended, I meant for those two options as being what I see as the possible options of what we could make the future standard. Not that we try to use both. − − :::::I think we would be safe to change the template code to make it not display if it is not used. We have no idea what the original intent was so we can only work from our own concludions.--[[User:Dmon|Dmon]] ([[User talk:Dmon|talk]]) 14:19, 17 August 2020 (EDT) − − ::::::I understand now and I agree completely. I've changed the template so that 'Location' no longer shows in the InfoBox if 'place' is unspecified. [[User:Tosta Dojen|Tosta Dojen]] ([[User talk:Tosta Dojen|talk]]) 08:35, 19 August 2020 (EDT)
