User blog:Dizzycomputer/Character Infoboxes

The "Also Known As" field takes up a lot of unnecessary (imo) space in some characters' infoboxes (see Jennyanydots for eg). Furthermore, it may just confuse readers to have both "Alternate Versions" and "Also Known As" in the infoboxes, plus the character nicknames being mixed in there as well.

Would it be better if we moved all the international names from the infobox to its own section in the article? We could even note all the productions that use each name as well as the meaning behind each name (e.g. Gatusalem = Gato + Matusalem). The Also Known As field can then be used solely for the character's nicknames ("The Gumbie Cat", "The Napoleon of Crime" etc ).
