Survey edit
Discussion edit
- @Surveyor Mount:, can you clarify what you are requesting? Do you want to include "The Right Honourable, The Lord Britten" to the current article, or add an infobox that includes "The Right Honourable, The Lord Britten?" Nemov (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- This can be included honorific titles per MOS:HONORIFIC (e.g. Sir) within

@Surveyor Mount: this article doesn't include an infobox. An infobox would have to be added before a discussion about that parameter could take place or you could propose an infobox similar to this example including the honorific prefix, but if so you should reformat this RfC with that specific proposal. I hope this helps, Thanks! - Nemov (talk) 03:13, 12 April 2023 (UTC)Benjamin Britten

Adding an infobox edit
I added an infobox, but Nikkimaria got rid of it. Why is infobox adding so hard? Talk:Benjamin Britten/Archive 1#Infobox, which the hidden comment linked to, seemed to suggest that there is a consensus that has developed against using popular music infoboxes on articles about composers
(even though Talk:Benjamin Britten/Archive 2#Hidden comments suggests that it has a chilling effect on editors who don't understand that Wikiprojects have no standing to demand that an infobox may not be added
), but I don't understand. Can someone explain? IMHO, infoboxes are good, and every article should have an infobox if a suitable infobox template exists, because they help present key info at a glance (for readers who don't want to read through the entire article); they're sometimes also used on other websites as well (eg Google search results).
