::My issue with the "article body will already contain pronouns" argument is that who's to say the article is using the correct pronouns? we aren't perfect, and keeping a to-date standard would stomp out any misinformation. It wouldn't hurt to have the information right there on the infobox with an embedded link to a source that proves it's actuality.

:::How does having it in the infobox help us ensure its up to date? A lot of our pages are out of date as is. Not saying it's a bad idea, I just don't know how it improves the current situation.

:::Pronouns in the article and infobox would likely be updated at the same time. If the pronouns in the infobox are out of date, so is the pronouns in the article. If the pronouns in the article are out of date, so is the infobox. Any link in the infobox could be linked in the article. Given many of the things that report pronouns that can be linked aren't static and pronouns could be changed without notice, that could easily be out of date without an archive link... which would then be out of date if the pronouns change. Something like a tweet or video stating the pronoun preference would be the only thing that could be linked properly, but again that can be linked in the article. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 10:53, April 24, 2022 (EDT) | |||
