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.

[edit] Required fields

• 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 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 comprimises stylistic appearance
• Major cities in well-known provinces: Toronto, Ontario, Canada is unnecessarily specific; Toronto, Ontario or Toronto, Canada 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 discouraged, Beslan, Russia, North Ossetia-Alania unnecessarily specific
• Cities with common names: Portland is not good; Portland, USA is not good either; Portland, Oregon (well-known state) or Portland, Oregon, USA preferred

• date - The date of the attack; make sure you add wikilinks around the date and year (e.g. 13 July 2006) to allow for users' date preferences to go into effect

[edit] Optional fields

• caption - A caption for the image

• time-begin and time-end - The start and end times, respectively, if the series of attacks (do not use this along with time)
• timezone - The timezone of the location of the attack(s); UTC+X, UTC-X, or UTC (i.e. offset from UTC) preferred
• type - The type of attack (i.e. Suicide bombings, Bioterrorism, etc)
• fatalities - Number of people killed during attack(s); optionally, you can split this into different types of people (i.e. 121 passengers, 21 crew or 3 soldiers, 1 civilian)
