Revert question[edit]
Not sure I understand your rationale here. Plenty of current and former politicians, among other famous people, on this site have their spouses and marriage years listed in their infoboxes even if the spouse doesn't have an article. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 13:43, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Infoboxes are for summarising the key information in the article. I do not think her former husbands are key information – the info is not even in the article itself. Number 57 19:52, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- While normally the case, infoboxes for people cover plenty of minutiae that aren't deemed important enough for the rest of the article, such as spouses that don't have their own articles. For another political example, look at US Congressman Kevin McCarthy. The only mention of his wife outside of the infobox is that she exists and they have two kids. For outside of politics, I point to Gene Wilder. The first two of his four wives have nothing more than a cursory mention. To add, one of these husbands of Dalia Rabin is even in a picture on the article about her father. To call something like that unworthy of even being mentioned in the infobox, you'd be calling a lot of infoboxes on articles about people, living and dead, into question. It feels foolish to start picking and choosing what's relevant enough among new edits. Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 21:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
- Infoboxes should not contain info that isn't in the article – see MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE (
The purpose of an infobox is to summarize, but not supplant, the key facts that appear in an article
). Lots of things are commonly done that shouldn't be, but just haven't been fixed yet. Best to fix ones with problems rather than create more with problems. Cheers, Number 57 21:23, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Bishop's Stortford F.C.[edit]
Good evening Number57.
Why was the Bishop's Stortford F.C. page reverted back? You mention 'overlinking'?
Can you please explain.
Thanks! GlenTheYid (talk) 16:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
