Collapsible lists

[edit]

Hi.

Just wanted to say that it'd be better if the collapsible medical and other support lists would be non-collapsible and expanded by default, as, otherwise, content is simply missed by the viewer at first glance and it would be better for visibility.

Consistency of findings of National Defense Corps incident

[edit]

As a neutral lay-reader:

The "National Defense Corps Incident" page says that "...and tens of millions of won was misappropriated to President Rhee Syngman's political fund." with a valid reference: [국민방위군 사건 (in Korean). National Archives of Korea. Archived from the original on 27 April 2011. Retrieved 20 July 2010.]

Yet on topic this page, under section "Starvation" it says Rhee Sygman was not involved. This is inconsistent or misleading. I suggest the quote above plus reference be added to the end of the relevant paragraph in this section.

[edit]

The Korean conflict was said to have started in 1948, according to the article. Therefore, I would like for the upper text to be changed from 1945 to 1948. 171.244.185.182 (talk) 04:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No it does not. Slatersteven (talk) 10:25, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Formatting a column about losses

[edit]

Hello dear anonymous people, I have not yet mastered editing and would like to get some advice before making edits. Long ago or not very long ago, the template about losses included the flags and losses of each country. I think it might be worth returning it? In my opinion, such a column, purely aesthetically, will look better for the article. What do you think ? Hikka1999 (talk) 20:52, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

See Talk:Korean War/Archive 12#Chinese casualties and the consensus to remove. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:12, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per the above, we do not really have an authoritative number. Slatersteven (talk) 18:35, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Um, so it’s better not to indicate any? And what is the logic if the article indicates the losses of the parties, but for some reason they cannot be indicated in the template? Hikka1999 (talk) 18:41, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Because a template cant deal with complexities as it is a Summay (of the lede), of a summary (the lede). Slatersteven (talk) 18:45, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo in Belligerents list

[edit]

In the Belligerents list, there's a typo right under "United Nations" that just says "Template:FlagU". Could someone with semi-protected editing privileges fix this so that it correctly lists the United States? Thanks. Rabbitish (talk) 07:38, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Mztourist (talk) 08:41, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
