Forum:SH:Updated conflict infobox templates

I've just finished updating the conflict (battle, war, etc.)/event infobox templates, using the code from the templates at Wookieepedia (full credit to them). The templates I've updated are as follows:


 * Template:Battle
 * Template:Duel
 * Template:Event
 * Template:Mission
 * Template:War

These replaced the now-former versions, but they also replaced things like the quadruple infobox battle template and the triple war infobox template, etc. The reason those are replaced is because the coding for these new battle, duel, war, etc. templates allow you to add up to four sides, as you can see by clicking the links above.

Subjectively, meaning this is subject to opinion, these look much better than the old square ones. Objectively, they are far superior. You don't need to have multiple battle infobox templates if you want to have additional factions, as they allow up to four, and some of the fields are collapsible. On the old templates, if you (for example) left the outcome section blank you'd see there. With these templates, though, if you don't add it then it just doesn't appear. Same with the commanders section, the losses section, the civilian causalities section (which is new to these templates), etc.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this message, beyond just a general notification of the update, is in case there are any technical problems with the templates. I've searched through a lot of articles and haven't found anything, but if you see any glitches that you believe were caused by this template upgrade, please let me know and I'll see what I can do.
