Support by is deprecated in military infoboxes

[edit]

I have been told that the military infobox MOS is a general guideline, not a policy or set of rules per se. What are your thoughts on this? Katangais (talk) 06:02, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Katangais: To be honest, I'm not quite understand what you are asking here. But, I'll try to respond anyway. IMO, there is no policy or guidelines on when to use infobox and which infobox to be used. However, should we use Template:Infobox military conflict, there is a consensus to not use "supported by" in that infobox. Ckfasdf (talk) 06:17, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, I was told by multiple contributors that citing the linked consensus when striking the "supported by" sections in the infobox is irrelevant, because WP:MILMOS is a general guideline for contributors rather than an official Wikipedia policy that can be enforced. How accurate is this? --Katangais (talk) 07:03, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Katangais: Wikipedia:Consensus is one of Wikipedia policy. And consensus to deprecate "support by" in infobox military conflict was gained through consensus-building mechanism (in this case, it was through RfC). Please note that WP:MILMOS has nothing to do with that consensus as they are two different things. Also, disregarding consensus intentionally might be seen as disruptive editing. I have seen an editor who ignored this consensus and was eventually blocked. Ckfasdf (talk) 07:22, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
