Event Types

When writing an event infobox, there is a bar labelled "Type." In writing, we follow a specific legend for writing types of events. Included in this article will be all the event types to be used in infoboxes.

## **Wars** or **Armed Conflicts**

### If the conflict involves two or more nations fighting each other,

* **Major Armed Conflict** (If the conflict involves 4-6 direct belligerents)
* **Minor Armed Conflict** (If the conflict involves less than 4 direct belligerents)
* **Global Armed Conflict** (If the conflict involves more than 6 direct belligerents)
* **Proxy War** (If the conflict involves 2 large nations supporting 2 smaller nations against each other in a war)

The number of indirect belligerents (supporting nations) may vary freely.

### If the conflict is a single nation/nations fighting a non-nation group,

* **Civil War** (If the conflict involves organized groups directly battling each other for national control)
* **Major Uprising/Nationwide Revolution** (If the conflict is a major uprising involving the government and a large revolutionary group in a war)
* **Minor Uprising/Rebellion** (If the conflict is a small rebellion involving the government and a small revolutionary group in a war)
* **Insurgency** (If the conflict involves an insurgent/terrorist group and the nation in a war)

The number of indirect belligerents (supporting groups or nations) may vary freely.

## **Tension** or **Crisis**

### If the crisis is between two nations and did not escalate into a war,

* **International Tension** (If the event involves two nations in a tension that did NOT escalate into a conflict)
* **Cold War** (If the event involves two nations in a long running tension that did NOT escalate into a conflict, but nearly did multiple times)

### If the crisis does not involve tension or conflict,

* **Global Pandemic** (If the event involves a pandemic or a disease spreading worldwide in a major incident)
* **Regional Pandemic** (If the event involves a pandemic or a disease spreading within a group of nations or a continent in a major incident)
* **Nationwide Pandemic** (If the event involves a pandemic or a disease spreading within a nation in a major incident)
* **Other** (May be specified by the author)

## **Individual Conflicts**

This would include simple battles or a series of which that have their own article and can be classified within this category.

### If the conflict involves two or more nations fighting each other in a war,

* **Major Battle (War)** (If the conflict involves 4-6 direct belligerents)
* **Minor Battle (War)** (If the conflict involves less than 4 direct belligerents)

The number of indirect belligerents (supporting groups or nations) may vary freely.

### If the conflict is a single nation/nations fighting a non-nation group,

* **Major Battle (Civil War)** (If the conflict is extremely significant, and a part of a civil war)
* **Minor Battle (Civil War)** (If the conflict is not as significant, and a part of a civil war)
* **Major Battle (Revolution)** (If the conflict is extremely significant, and a part of a revolution)
