Disney Wiki:A Guide to Infoboxes

Infoboxes are a way for readers to get a basic idea of what the topic of an article is about. However, there are various types of infoboxes, each set with their own rules and regulations. Follow his guide to help ensure that you're fully aware of how an infobox should be approached when editing.

Character infoboxes
Infoboxes for character articles, such as Mickey Mouse, Ariel or Simba. They provide general information about a character's development (such as their animators, voice actors, and inspirations) as well as fictional, in-universe information (such as their personality, likes, and dislikes). Here are some general rules about character infoboxes.

Canon information only
For all character infoboxes, Contents within the "Character Information" section should only include materials related to the original character. Crossover and alternate counterparts are not permitted. Example; Baloo appears as a jungle animal in The Jungle Book and appears as a pilot in TaleSpin. Since The Jungle Book was his debut appearance, all materials such as occupations, friends, enemies, likes and dislikes must only be related to projects centering The Jungle Books continuity, such as the film itself, The Jungle Book 2 and Jungle Cubs, for example.

Popular titles that are not considered canon include the Kingdom Hearts series, House of Mouse, Descendants, Once Upon a Time, and all live-action remakes such as Maleficent (2014) and Cinderella (2015), to name a few. If you are unsure if a title is considered canon or otherwise, message an admin and they'll be able to confirm which is which.

Duos, trios, etc.
Sometimes, rather than focusing on one character, an article will center around multiple characters who are most often depicted as a collective rather than indivudally. Some examples include Jaq and Gus and Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. Character infoboxes for sets of characters function a little differently.
 * 1) Actors, physical appearances, individual Zias and personalities (including likes and dislikes) for these characters are to be listed in the article's background section, rather than the infobox. For actors that have played the role in adaptations such as those of Broadway or a remake, the actors are to be listed in the respective sections dealing with those topics.
 * 2) Quotes are not permitted in the infobox.
 * 3) In the rare case that one character appears without their other half (or halves) be sure to signify this (ex. adding "Gus only" next to the title in question).

Group infoboxes
A group infobox is used when dealing with a set of characters that function as an organization, an organized body of characters with a shared purpose or goal. Some examples include armies (such as the royal guards in Aladdin), bands (such as the alley cats in Aristocats) or subcultures such as the Supers in The Incredibles. The number of characters involved in a group is irrelevant, so long as they fit the definition of an organization (ex. they can be a group of three such as the Fates or a group of fifteen such as the Sugar Rush Racers)

This infobox is not to be used for an assortment of characters that do not function as an organization with a shared purpose, such as the crows in Dumbo or Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed in The Lion King. Characters of this nature are merely together for casual purposes, and therefor do not fit the description of an organization.

Species infoboxes
The species infobox deals with an entire race of creatures that share the same general appearance, history and culture whether they're affiliated with each other or not. An example of this is the Merpeople article, which highlights merfolk from all corners of Disney media rather than one franchise. Another example are the Cy-Bugs, who lack cohesion, but all generate from the same source. The article must be in this broad scope to warrant a species infobox.

Minor notes

 * 1) When an infobox section has an excessive number of entires listed (such as film appearances) be sure to instill the Scroll template for that section.
 * 2) When listing a deceased character in an infobox (in allies, relatives, etc.) be sure to add the cross symbol next to their name to indicate their status.
 * 3) If a character does not live in their place of birth, distinguish their two homes with;
 * (birthplace) = for their place of origin
 * (current residence) = for where they currently reside
