Invoked with the status argument seems to cause an extra paragraph tag to be output for that status; see "Ongoing" in Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts and 2020 China–India skirmishes. The extra padding/margin caused by this means misalignment with the "Status" header.
The status should be output without the <p> tag. 89.107.6.24 (talk) 01:13, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- Note to template editors: this happens only in certain situations. The Mediawiki parser wraps the word "Ongoing" in
<p>...</p>tags when it is followed by a bulleted list, but not when it is alone. Paste and modify the infobox from Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts into Special:ExpandTemplates to see the HTML output. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:28, 17 June 2020 (UTC) - Seems to affect quite a few templates, e.g. Afghanistan conflict (1978–present) ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- okay. Frietjes (talk) 22:54, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

CSS fix for the above issue. Making a separate request to separate this proposed fix from the issue, in case a different fix is desired.
At a glance the issue looks like one with the MediaWiki parser. The easiest solution seems to be a CSS fix. It applies to the direct first 'p' child of status to avoid any problems, and if any individual templates have a manual 'p' element as the first child and want their own styling (which would be unusual, contextually speaking) that won't cause issues as that would override with specificity.
Updated templates:
Courtesy reminder to update to use the live styles.css, if you merge this change. ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 14:38, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
- Template ERs somewhat backlogged. Pinging Primefac, Frietjes: can this change be merged into live? ProcrastinatingReader (talk) 12:27, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
- okay. Frietjes (talk) 22:53, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
Custom argument values
Hello, I reuse this module for viwiki. I would like to use both English and Vietnamese parameters:
- self.args.image and self.args.hình_ảnh // I have a error for "hình_ảnh"
How can use this? Thank you. Alphama (talk) 14:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Coordinates
Just a quick ping of User:Eastfarthingan and User:Keith-264 regarding this archived thread establishing a consensus to remove title coordinates from military conflict articles as "redundant". As recently discussed at Template_talk:Coord#Clarification_of_what_"=title"_achieves, there's actually more to the "=title" option than just showing the coordinates of the title on non-mobile devices, although this wasn't well documented: it also establishes the template coordinates as being the single, primary location of the article subject (so that they'll show up on a map by anything that queries the Wikipedia API).
If a project template has been modified to omit title coordinates, you may want to change it back. --Lord Belbury (talk) 14:44, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- Oh no....Keith-264 (talk) 15:26, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- So this means I should stop removing 'title' in coord then? Eastfarthingan (talk) 20:38, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
- If you think that the coordinates of conflicts should be visible on maps and features that use the API (like Special:Nearby), and if the only reason for removing 'title' was that you thought the coordinates looked redundant: yes, they should stay. The ones you've deleted should be brought back as well, but I don't know what the easiest way to do that would be. WP:AWB should be able to find and fix articles that use this infobox, but don't have a "title" for their coordinates. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:50, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for the information. I will start putting them back. Eastfarthingan (talk) 18:37, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Add custom header options for the other sections, and not just for combatants/belligerents Halo FC (talk) 14:36, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Not done: please make your requested changes to the module's sandbox first; see WP:TESTCASES. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:19, 2 May 2021 (UTC)
- Hi, I've made what I thought were the right changes. I next made a custom infobox on my user sandbox page. Though when I previewed my user sandbox page with the edited module, I couldn't see any changes, none of the desired changes, the custom header text, I'm not sure what I need to do, hope you can help out, thanks Halo FC (talk) 18:17, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
