Example


Density of information
Try to always consider that an infobox exists to support an article and provide a quick synopsis of important facts. This becomes vital when considering that the amount of space available within an infobox is significantly less than that available outside of it. Adding all seventy three nicknames that a fighter might have is highly informative, but will defeat the purpose of the infobox.

Wikilinking
As per the manual of style entry on linking, years should not be linked as they do not provide much benefit to the user.
