War faction infobox
A war faction infobox may be used to summarize information about a particular faction participating in a war; it should not be used for regular military units and formations (which should use infobox military unit instead). The infobox should be added using the infobox war faction template, as shown below:

Note: When using parameters, avoid the ambiguous abbreviation "N/A", and instead use "unknown" or "none". All subjective or qualitative judgements and numerical quantities or statistics must be cited to a reliable source (see WP:MILMOS).


 * name – the formal name of the faction.
 * native_name – the faction's name in their own language
 * native_name_lang – ISO 639-1 code e.g. "fr" for French. If more than one, use for |native_name= instead
 * war – the war or wars in which the faction participated; for proper grammar, it may be necessary to insert "the" before the name.
