well yeah they don’t really bring new information to the article, but i always found them super useful for the way they condensate important facts in the start of the article, for example on korsakov you have to scroll through his whole biography section just to find out where he died, unnecessary with a simple infobox Antniomanso (talk) 11:29, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure you can call much of what goes into an IB "important", in encyclopaedic terms, except the small amount that can also be seen in the opening line of the article. IBs tend to focus on trivia (and where someone dies is trivial in most instances). The example you added recently was stuff full of equally pointless little factoids that don't assist readers in gaining an understanding of the man, his work or his place in the development of music - the long list of non-notable relatives, for a start: how to they bring understanding to a reader? - SchroCat (talk) 11:48, 14 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
i added the IB based on the portuguese one, where it goes fetch all info directly from wikidata instead of manual entry, but ofc part of the information could have been ommited instead
and based on personal experience (and academic peers as well), the trivia facts prove themselves quite useful in IB format instead of even-the-short-intro format when one is researching through unmeasurable articles, as the trivia is in a very predictable and concise format Antniomanso (talk) 13:39, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
