After further consideration, I am not going to perform this edit. Another editor is welcome to handle these requests, but in my opinion this infobox is overburdened as it is and badly needs to be condensed and/or split. I will post a discussion suggesting this when I get a moment. It is already longer than most stubs and bigger than the majority of articles at almost 16.8 kilobytes in size; for context the largest article in the list above is 16.2 kilobytes.

Split

Since this has grown excessively long, and multiple editors have expressed a reluctance to add more links to it, I suggest we create child navboxes about more specific aspects, and then have this be a more general navbox for links to the core articles.

Pinging P,TO 19104, Adam Black, and Super Dromaeosaurus, as they've objected to additions here and I'd like to know if they'd consider this an acceptable solution to trim the navbox. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 22:06, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the ping. Listing killed civilians of a war on its navbox is unorthodox in Wikipedia. I'd favor taking this information into a list article or into a separate navbox. The rest I think is quite okay. I suggest the model of Template:Russian invasion of Ukraine. It's a gigantic template but it is divided into subgroups making its navigation easier for readers despite its size. I think it is desirable to keep all articles into one navbox if possible. The killed civilians could also be kept with this model, as the mass killing of civilians is an important aspect of this war. But I ultimately don't have too strong of an opinion on what should be done with the template. Super Ψ Dro 23:03, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Cell widths

Can anything be done to make the cell widths consistent? Might make the template look a bit cleaner. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:09, 31 January 2025 (UTC)

As the person who has also reorganized Template:Martial EDSA and Template:Crisis in Venezuela, generally I say it's not worth reworking cell widths. But feel free to do so. Frank_{(has DemoCracy DeprivaTion)} 17:20, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Does the 2023 Vermont shooting of Palestinian students belong in this template

User:إيان made this revert, reinserting an article that had been removed from the template. Per 2023 Vermont shooting of Palestinian students, Although initially investigated as a possible hate crime, no official motive has been established. I don't see a connection established to the Gaza war. Alansohn (talk) 12:06, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

• Or you can look at sources from two years later, after authorities investigated the crime, including
  "Man accused of shooting Palestinian students found competent to stand trial. His attorneys disagree", which states that George has said her office would file hate crime charges in the case if there was evidence, but so far there hasn’t been enough to support the charge. Per WP:ONUS, can you point to confirmation that this was determined to be a hate crime, now that an investigation has been done and the alleged shooter has been brought to trial? Alansohn (talk) 12:22, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

• To emphasize, the case was originally believed to be a hate crime and the sources here show that initial perception was that this was the case, so it was justified to include this as a hate crime in the article and in related articles and templates. However, further investigation shows that this was not found to be the case. Alansohn (talk) 12:39, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
