== Regarding strength of only one belligerent ==

If information on only one belligerent is available and not the second one or strength of second one is only partly available like strength under one of the commanders of second belligerent then how to write in Infobox? Whether remove strength column altogether for both or keep one blank or write N.A. in one? [[User:Sajaypal007|Sajaypal007]] ([[User talk:Sajaypal007|talk]]) 15:53, 27 March 2022 (UTC)

:I would need more information (ie a specific case with details) but we don't have to populate the strength fields in the infobox - particularly if there is any nuance to the information that is best left to prose.

== Campaignboxes causing infobox to stay above first paragraph ==

See [[Template talk:Infobox military conflict#Campaignboxes causing infobox to stay above first paragraph]]. At [[Battle of Bakhmut]] (for example) the mobile transform that moves the lead paragraph above the infobox is failing. Moving the campaignbox outside the infobox fixes the issue, so it doesn't seem to be the fault of either the campaignbox template or {{tl|Military navigation}} but rather the problem lies here somewhere.

== Use of map_type= without coordinates causes script error to display instead of infobox ==
{{resolved}}
Please see [[Template:Infobox_military_conflict/testcases#Map_specified_without_coordinates|this test case]] for an example of the infobox being replaced entirely by a script error when {{para|map_type}} is used without coordinates. That condition should result in an error-tracking category, not a giant red error message. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 01:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
:Never mind, I fixed it by adjusting the if statement to check for both map_type and coordinates before rendering a map. Why is this talk page separate from the Template's talk page? That is not the usual practice. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 04:02, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

== native_name ==

{{edit template-protected|answered=yes}}
'''Description of suggested change:''' Add {{code|native_name}}. Although I personally don't see how including a conflict's native name adds value to an infobox, many editors seem to disagree. As a result, the {{code|conflict}} parameter is often misused so as to include this. This new parameter is intended to prevent that.

'''Example:''' [[Template:Infobox military conflict/testcases#native_name]]

'''Code:''' Add from line 159:
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
	if self.args.native_name then
		builder:tag('tr')
			:tag('td')
				:attr('colspan', self.combatants)
				:cssText(infoboxStyle.header_raw)
				:wikitext(self.args.native_name)
	end
</syntaxhighlight>

::::::I would have proposed adding {{para|native_name_lang}} were it not for the fact that this infobox is Lua-based and the suggested change is the current extent of my code scavenging ability.
