Proposal
I think we should remove the following sections from the characters' infoboxes: Friends, Enemies, Interests, Aliases, and Awards. These are just useless sections that interfere with the primary information in the box. EmilyHReturns (M•C•B•E) 03:21, April 5, 2020 (UTC)
Concerns
Created concern: It is simply easy access to information
Preview • Modify • CommentI do not see why it should be removed. They are not overly cluttered, certainly not for characters that aren't the main characters, and it just makes it easier for the reader to access the information. If it were buried further down in the article, it would make it unnecessarily hard for the reader to find the information. We shouldn't be trying to make it harder to find information on a wiki. And if you are trying to propose getting rid of it altogether, then that is definitely not something that should be opposed. We should be trying to add information, not remove it - The gamer 987654321
Reply - I'm not proposing that we get rid of any sight of the information in the article altogether. I am simply proposing that we just remove these particular fields from the character infoboxes because they are unnecessary, take up space for more important information, and are overall not necessary to document in the infobox.
