Lmao wiki edit wars are the best. My fave is the one where Stanley Kubrick's page doesn't have an info box unlike every other famous person's ever page because the people editing the page decided info boxes make people not read the rest of the text because they only glance at the box instead, and that's really bad apparently because you really really really positively HAVE to read every sentence of the text, for some reason. Apparently there's been a huge edit war over this but the "no boxes" crowd eventually prevailed.
and its one of the very few clear-cut cases where the admins of the site should step in and say "look, this is dumb, im putting up the fucking info box and locking it" but wikipedia admins are shit
