There is currently an ongoing debate about this infobox section.

Just one example for a vote to change the tag:

Change. Articles like Foreign Policy's "Iran's victory is more Pyrrhic than it looks" illustrate the need for a more nuanced label. Both sides inflicted damage on each other, the leadership of both sides are claiming victory, and both sides obtained some concessions from the other. A large number of claims in both directions are obviously politically charged and motivated, so the safer approach for now is to label it as "inconclusive" with a link to an "Aftermath" section summarizing the main arguments of commentators, as with War of Attrition.

Both sides win, obviously, and get a special participation prize. It's better to specify who profited the most.
