"Disinfoboxes" are infoboxes that some editors are against using, on the grounds that disinfoboxes contain what they see as unnecessary repetitions of facts already presented in an article's lead or oversimplified dissemination of information that is devoid of necessary context and nuance. However, many infoboxes that are commonly nicknamed disinfoboxes can actually be very useful, albeit ones that should be used with care. It should also be remembered that, per MOS:INFOBOXUSE: "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article. Whether to include an infobox, which infobox to include, and which parts of the infobox to use, is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article".
