 * Nope, other fields can be relevant regarding some.

I guess it should had been something like: ''other fields can be relevant regarding each event and the information given to us.

But for the larger events, it doesn't seem like it would be all that helpful and would just take up space. Locations is already used on the wikia, and for large event, and doesn't take much place. Example: War of Realms.

Unless you restrict that section to a brief statement instead of the multiple bullets seen in your example. Most of the time, "casualties" would not appear, as there is a lot of events where they aren't mentioned at all (and where there isn't much clues on-panel). For my example, we see battles and later Odin mentions the state of the war, which gives us some information on it (but I admit on my example it was kind of "fill the gap for the example).

LoveWaffle wrote: Comics, though - I hadn't thought about that earlier. It would be helpful to list the first and last comics in the event. Take the place of the "Date" section you see in similar infoboxes. I like the idea, I was always disappointed there wasn't the equivalent of 1st and last appearance on events when it could had been interesting for events that aren't "publishing events" (ex: Aesir/Vanir War hasn't been published as a Marvel Comics event, but is simply an event among the MU).

You're suggesting it to appear as another field, or (like I think it would be clearer) like for the other kinds of pages ? To be noted that 1st and last would often be the same: for Aesir/Vanir War, it would be:

(Mentioned)

(First flashback) for both fields.

While it remains a large list of characters, it seems clearer to me than the attempts to list them at the bottom of the current Civil War (Event) page, who also mix the in-universe event (the Civil War) and the publishing event,including Stamford incident. It's been a while since I want to separate those (not without properly linking the pages, etc.).

To note, using the GoT templates, I have to choose between war and battles, when options of both should be required. For example, casualties are available only on the battle ones. None of them have a "cassus beli" fields.
