The following rules generally apply when naming articles about conflicts and protests, although occasional exceptions may apply.
Use a combination of WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRECISE when deciding what terms to use for a conflict article title. The term used for a conflict could be very controversial, so avoid WP:BIAS. It is important to avoid WP:EUPHEMISMS, for example, generally avoid terming a war, a "conflict" unless it's a general article about a long-running conflict.
Always avoid unnecessary use of capital letters on terms such as "war", "conflict", "invasion", and "protests", per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (capitalization).
Protest article titles often use the name of the country they have or are occurring in followed by "... protests". However, they can also use the name of the subject which is or has caused the protest, followed by "... protests". If the article on those subject-oriented protests is specific to one country, use "... demonym subject protests", but consider WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for whether to include this disambiguator. The time descriptor is almost always used on protest article titles, unless there is suitable evidence to suggest that this disambiguation is unnecessary, per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.
