It's been quiet for a while, so I'm posting here again, building on Rakuen's example, with an example data panel for a well-developed OA conflict - the Second Vec War. Feedback appreciated. The casua...

That checks. I haven't done a rigorous count, but looking at the links from the Warfare category page, we'd have about two dozen panels to do.

I've got a suggestion here for articles about specific wars, and that's having a systematic way of outlining the participants, dates, theatre, outcome etc. of a conflict - maybe something like the Wik...

I'd considered this good to go - subject to editor approval - but as I've said in the Fractalism discussion (https://www.orionsarm.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=6735&pid=86987#pid86987) it might make s...
