Infobox Event or Conflict/Archive 1

How about this?--[<script type="text/javascript" src="/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Functions.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript"></script>[User:MrThermomanPreacher|MrThermomanPreacher]] 14:14, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Looks good, I'd suggest just a few (minor) changes.
  • Change place to location (allows for greater application) it's also more...'the location of the conflict' sounds more correct than 'the place of the conflict'.
  • Keep what's in the infobox and what's used in the fields consistent (if it's outcome in the infobox, use outcome in the fields etc) it makes a lot more sense when users are filling it out. Also I'd rather have 'casualties1', rather than it being abbreviated, again just a logic thing.
  • Get rid of the source link at the bottom (not consistent with our other infoboxes)
  • Change the colour of the infobox, bluey-grey is a little too similar (thematically) to the infobox Object and vaguely to the TV infoboxes. It can just be the red we've got now, or another colour.
Also is this infobox a little wider than the infoboxes we've got currently? It would be preferable to keep it consistent with other infoboxes used throughout the wiki. Thanks. --Tangerineduel 14:32, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
