Includes pages where the title doesn't contain either or both parties but they are both listed as belligerents.

Title must contain the word 'war'

"War" being in the title seems like it might be an issue.

@marthinwurer can you give examples of wars where the Wikipedia page doesn't have 'war' in the title?

(not being snarky, I didn't exactly do an exhaustive check before making this market)

@galaga I would argue that this is the question description working as intended because the 2025 conflict wasn't a war.

@JoshuaWilkes what if it's something like

@galaga this is more like the kind of situation that could be an issue.

A response:

1) that page makes it clear that it's an event in WW2

2) WW2 page lists Allies and Axis as belligerents, with Germany directly named

3) Poland is in the Allied page

So even in these extreme cases (I assume WW1) will throw up similar situations, there is clarification needed but no deep problem.

@JoshuaWilkes I can totally believe that there are examples of genuine wars that are called something else.

However, two years after market creation I won't be changing the title and description of this market. It will just have to stand as what it is.
