Halopedia:Standards Council of Halopedia/Legislative Branch/Standards/Battle Articles Format Standard

Proposal
Battle Articles are any article detailing any armed conflict with exception to Wars and Campaigns. Battle articles shall all use one of the Battle templates as an infobox. It should include the following sections (in order):


 * Introduction giving a brief summary indicating where and when the battle was, what war or campaign it was a part of, who the combatants were, and any notable notes (if any) regarding its importance in the wider Galaxy
 * Background section detailing facts about the battle relevant to its events and other battles that occured either simultaneously or prior to the battle. Different topics should be grouped in seperate subsections.  In most cases, events referenced here should use the Main Article template.
 * The Battle section detailing the events of the battle organized in chronological order. Chronological order can be violated if there are multiple simultaneous events to focus on individual streams of events.  However, every reasonably attempt should be made to keep as close to chronological order as possible.
 * Aftermath section detailing the consequences of the battle and events that were closely related after the battle's conclusion. Different topics should be grouped in seperate subsections.  In most cases, events referenced here should use the Main Article template.
 * Notes section (optional) detailing any out-of universe notes regarding the Battle such as in-game missions (if any) that the battle was represented in.
 * Miscilaneous sections (if any) that are specific to the battles
 * See Also section (optional) with links to Halopedia articles worth further reading
 * References section

Comments/Discussion
I think that for more spesific standards like this one on battles, we should take a look at each article in this category and see what we find flows the best. If we have already done that, then we must give each section a spesific title that always applies, ie. Introduction, background, ect. --Notanoob
