Infobox images

edit

There's too many images in the infobox, the images are too small to be meaningful (stitched together into a single image that's inconvenient to access), and the use of the imagemap isn't great I think. The imagemap prevents you from clicking each image to zoom in. The articles for each battle are already accessible in the captions. Think replacing the imagemap with a {{multiple image}} would be better. Fewer images too. seefooddiet (talk) 19:06, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

I fixed the problem with the images in the infobox, as well as the links. If needed, please restore the links and/or image in case objected to. Thank you.

Marshal Ney in the list of Coalition leaders

edit

Should Ney really be on the infobox as a commander for both sides? He only served with the Bourbons for a year, never fought any battles for them and rejoined Napoleon at the first opportunity. Plus there were other marshals, like MacDonald and Berthier who stayed loyal to the Bourbons, yet they aren't on the Coalition commanders list. LordAlb (talk) 11:08, 8 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

I concur, in fact I feel as though the entire Commanders and leaders section is clunky and difficult to navigate. 90.212.162.127 (talk) 18:25, 9 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
I went ahead and made some changes to the infobox to try and make it easier to navigate. Hope it helps. LordAlb (talk) 16:49, 13 December 2024 (UTC)Reply

Commanders

edit

Please stop vandalizing the article and removing the prime ministers of UK from the info box. The note in the source of the info box states that are only heads of state or heads of government should be added which is what UK has since it's a constitutional monarchy and the power is mostly in the hands of the PM. I have restored the last truly stable version of the infobox and I hope others will stop edit warring and clearly ignoring what I wrote in the edit summary. User LocalF15 has already been warned about edit warring before, I see on their talk page. Frodnirdon (talk) 13:33, 15 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Iran in the infobox

edit

While the Russo-Persian War (1804–1813) was fought during the same time period as the Napoleonic wars, and both France and Britain sought to expand their sphere of influence in the region, this does not mean that Iran was involved in the Napoleonic wars unless there are sources explicitly stating that the Russo-Persian War (1804–1813) was part of the Napoleonic wars. It is certainly not supported by the body of this article per MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:29, 3 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
