Template:Infobox civilian attack/doc

Example


For all fields, no wikilinks are automatically incorporated into the infobox. Therefore, if you want anything to be linked to something else, they must be added when including the template.

Required fields

 * title – A title for the attack; most likely this will match the article title, but you can change it to something slightly different if the title is a little over-descriptive
 * location – The physical place, perhaps a specific airplane or building (multiple targets are allowed, of course), including the city, where the attack occurred; including the country is preferred for cities; including the province or state is discouraged unless necessary or well-known:
 * Major, international cities: Tokyo is okay, but Tokyo, Japan is preferred unless it compromises stylistic appearance
 * Major cities in well-known provinces: Toronto, Ontario, Canada is unnecessarily specific; Toronto, Ontario or Toronto, Canada is preferred (although Toronto is okay)
 * Cities with relative international anonymity: Beslan is not good due to the city's relative anonymity; Beslan, Russia is preferred; Beslan, North Ossetia–Alania is discouraged; Beslan, North Ossetia–Alania, Russia is unnecessarily specific
 * Cities with common names: Portland is not good; Portland, USA is not good either; Portland, Oregon (well-known state) or Portland, Oregon, USA is preferred


 * date – The date of the attack; use start date to allow for users' date preferences to go into effect and include the date in the hCalendar microformat (see below; use end date for multi-day events).
