This template is managed by the Korean War and the Military and War Projects.

This is a display sticker and is entered below the ==Biography== line of the profile, it is not a Project Box, which for this project is {{{Korean War Project}}}.

The entry format is:

{{Korean War
|branch=<service branch> or <country>
|startdate=service started as dd mmm yyyy
|units=unit1; unit2
|enddate=service ended as dd mmm yyyy
|rank=xxx
|unit=1st regt, div, ship, etc
|image=image file
}}

if |rank is entered, that will display on the text prior to the name, if not, the profile prefix entry, if present, will be used.

The |branch= parameter will be displayed on the profile page, and it will be used as a lookup value in the table below to determine what country flag will be displayed. If you identify this parameter with a country or branch not listed, the display will show text saying the value is not found.

Since the |units= can be more specific than the level we are creating categories for, i.e. Company B, 1st Battalion, 1st Regiment, have abbreviations, i.e. 1st Regt., or can have multiple units, i.e 1st Regiment in 1951, 7th Cavalry in 1952, the sticker cannot make assignments to unit categories using this field. This value is free text and used for display only.

To solve this issue, use the |unit= parameter to identify the 1st unit the person served in.

If no |unit= is listed, the category will be assigned based on the |branch= <service branch> or <country>. If |units= is entered, to correctly create the category, add |unit=<unit> , and the sticker will format the category to add the profile to using <unit>, <service branch>, Korean War. if multiple units are listed, to add the profile to the 2nd, 3rd, etc., the profile will need to be added to the category explicitly with [[Category: <unit>, <service branch>, Korean War]] for each of them.

If the category listing on the profile shows up as RED check the spelling/punctuation and the parent category to see if it is spelled the same way. If all looks correct, you can create the new category, default text for the category should be listed in the HELP! section of the parent category.

The |units= parameters will be displayed on the profile page.

If you are working on a country or service branch that is not shown below, send a note to the project leaders to have the sticker updated.

If you do not want to use a default image, you can display a different one using |image=image file.
