As per Template:Infobox_military_conflict the result section is optional in the first place, and whilst it states (as pointed out) do not introduce non-standard terms like "decisive", "marginal" or "tactical" - which hasn't happened here - it also states that where the standard terms do not accurately describe the outcome, a link or note should be made to the section of the article where the result is discussed in detail (such as "See the Aftermath section"). To be honest, that's a bit contradictory, and could be added, because there's a wealth of sourced commentary discussing the immediate results from a psychological frame.
However, it seems more likely that we won't agree on this topic so there are two options - the original can stay in place while the disagreement is worked out, as per WP:BRD, or we remove the parameter and thus all ambiguity, and let readers decide themselves from both "Aftermath" and "effect" section.
Describing the result as a "psychological victory" is without a doubt a non standard term. However if we can agree to simply omit the result, then I'm fine with that. Kolno (talk) 21:11, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
