WikiQueer:Disinfoboxes can be Useful

Disinfobox is a term used to describe infoboxes which are 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 commonly nicknamed disinfoboxes can actually be very useful.

Explanation
Disinfoboxes usually provide an easily readable, accessible summary of the article in hand. They make it easy to find out about the key facts in an article without having to locate them within its main body.

Example


London Buses Route 605
The 605 is a Transport for London contracted bus.. The service is currently contracted to Metroline. •Edgware tube station Bus Station •Edgware Community Hospital •Burnt Oak Broadway •Burnt Oak tube station •Mill Hill Broadway railway station Forecourt •Mill Hill Circus •Mill Hill County School •Mill Hill County School •Mill Hill Circus •Mill Hill Broadway railway station Forecourt •Burnt Oak tube station •Burnt Oak Broadway •Edgware Community Hospital •Edgware tube station Bus Station
 * Route departing Edgware
 * Route departing Mill Hill

Analysis
The article above is an example of a stub article which has been merged into a larger article, London School Buses. The infobox is classed as a disinfobox because it is longer than 1/3 of the article. However, the infobox is clearly appropriately placed. It provides many key details, such as bus route length, journey time, PVR and more which would all otherwise have to be incorporated into the text, which would result in an article which is:
 * unpleasant to read
 * does not meet or appear to meet the general standards of WikiQueer
 * of poor quality
 * difficult to read and comprehend
