Line 315:
In the [[Battle of Berezina]] the result within Infobox Military conflict says: "Inconclusive (See the Aftermath Section)". The Aftermath section says: "Napoleon was in a position to claim a strategic victory." [[Strategic victory]] says: "A strategic victory is a victory that brings long-term advantage to the victor and disturbs the enemy's ability to wage a war." The Documentation of Infobox Military conflict says: "Result: The term used is for the "immediate" outcome of the "subject" conflict" and "Omit this parameter altogether rather than engage in speculation about which side won or by how much."<br>
All this shows that the term "victory" as a result does not help in complex campaigns. I suggest
:There are some battles and even wars that have the same issue. [[battle of Jutland|Jutland]] quickly comes to mind. As does The [[War of 1812|War of 1812]]. [[battle of Berezina|Berezina]] and come to think on it [[Battle of Wavre|The Battle of Wavre]] are particularly thorny. Oh and we have the [[Battle of Borodino]] as well. We need a process that is different from the way that is not working right now. Really complex battles and wars don't always fit out way of doing things. It ends up with endless squabbling without real answers. I'm going to suggest that such articles be worked over by designated teams and locked.[[User:Tirronan|Tirronan]] ([[User talk:Tirronan|talk]]) 06:56, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
