Scope

[edit]

This task force covers all military memorials, monuments, and cemeteries, regardless of the country or conflict to which they relate.

Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Memorials-task-force=yes or Memorials=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Military memorials and cemeteries task force articles.
