Ah yes, the infobox. I am a big fan. These boxes come in handy when I only have seven seconds to read an article. My absolute favorite parts of the infobox are the amazing parameters that can be included. For once, I would like to see each parameter filled in with each tiny fragment of information. So I made one about myself.
You are probably familiar with the infoboxes for entertainers, gaming, movies, cities, et cetera et cetera.
But DYK....that there are infoboxes for:
and DYK...
I think infoboxes have a firm future because of our ever decreasing attention span. And it would take little effort to commercialize infoboxes by transforming them into trading cards. Instead of detailed arguments about pogs, we will hear: "I'll give you one Joe Negri for a Phil Ochs, a Melissa Greener and Caroll Spinney". I already have mine in a binder and inserted into those dandy plastic sleeves. I anticipate forming a massive collection. I can see my children at the estate sale after my death trying to unload my infobox/biography trading cards off on some clueless investor who trades in infobox futures.

I think you misspelled "wherever." ~ T P W 03:00, 16 July 2017 (UTC) reply
I would collect infobox trading cards. I can already imagine a game based on the different infobox templates. Are soccer biographies strong against comic strips? "You got a Hill of Rome? Damn, those are rare. I'll trade this artificial fly card for it." ~ Mable ( chat) 10:20, 16 July 2017 (UTC) reply
This is fun. I just now read it (cleaning out my talk page). Thanks! Softlavender ( talk) 23:01, 27 November 2017 (UTC) reply
