Forgotten Realms Wiki:Infoboxes

Infoboxes are sidebar-style boxes designed to summarize the information within an article "at a glance", and provide certain limited rule-specific information to the reader.

They are intended to provide the reader with enough information to compare two articles, such as the power of one spell compared with another, or the abilities of two individuals.

Use the most appropriate infobox for the article you are writing, and place it at the top of the article. See Category:Infoboxes for a full selection, although some commonly used infoboxes include:
 * Person (applies to all individuals, even things like dragons who are not really "people")
 * Location
 * Organization

Don't use old style citations
The old "whole infobox" style of citation is no longer accepted. It is rare that an entire infobox will have its information contained within one specific source, and even if it does, the "whole infobox" citation does not account for situations where a second source is introduced later on.

Unsourced information
If you encounter contestable information in an infobox and there is no source, you can add a Fact template next to it to indicate that a citation is required. If you know who was responsible for adding the unsourced information, you might prefer to ask this person to add a citation, by using his or her talk page.

If you can find the source for the information in question, please take it upon yourself to do so, verify it, and add the inline citation.

Removing information
You should only remove information from an infobox if it is wrong and you can demonstrate this with a citation (perhaps by replacing it with the correct information). Simply changing something "because you know it is right" without giving a citation is not a good way to do things and is likely to start revert wars.
