For all fields, no wikilinks are automatically incorporated into the infobox. Therefore, if you want anything to be linked to something else, they must be added when including the template.

Required fields[edit]

title – A title for the attack; most likely this will match the article title, but you can change it to something slightly different if the title is a little over-descriptive
location – The physical place, perhaps a specific airplane or building (multiple targets are allowed, of course), including the city, where the attack occurred; including the country is preferred for cities; including the province or state is discouraged unless necessary or well-known:

Major, international cities: Tokyo is okay, but Tokyo, Japan is preferred unless it compromises stylistic appearance
Major cities in well-known provinces: Toronto, Ontario, Canada is unnecessarily specific; Toronto, Ontario or Toronto, Canada is preferred (although Toronto is okay)
Cities with relative international anonymity: Beslan is not good due to the city's relative anonymity; Beslan, Russia is preferred; Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania is discouraged; Beslan, North Ossetia-Alania, Russia is unnecessarily specific
Cities with common names: Portland is not good; Portland, U.S. is not good either. Portland, Oregon (well-known state) or Portland, Oregon, U.S. is preferred; these two forms cannot be mistaken for Portland, Maine or any other city sharing the name Portland

Will be fetched from Wikidata (location (P276), if available) if not locally set

Microformats[edit]

The HTML markup produced by this template includes an hCalendar microformat, which makes the event details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to a calendar or diary application. Within the hCalendar is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Dates will only be included if you use {{Start date}} or {{End date}} (use the former for single dates, but do not use any of these if the date is before 1583 CE). {{End date}} requires that a time be specified, but display of this time may be suppressed by adding |nodate=yes to the end.

To include a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCalendar uses HTML classes including:

attendee
dtend
dtstart
location
summary
url
vevent

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

geo
latitude
longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
Also, when giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
