Line 157: The problem with persondata (and the suggested "hidden" infobox"), is that it is hidden. Infoboxes make the same data available to machines, by marking up the ''visible'' data using [[microformat]]s - if the visible data is changed, the the emitted metadata changes at the same time. As for "''recognise that for some biographies and articles, infoboxes are not needed''", that's an expression of a debatable opinion, not a recognisable fact. <span class="vcard"><span class="fn">[[User:Pigsonthewing\|Andy Mabbett]]</span> (<span class="nickname">Pigsonthewing</span>); [[User talk:Pigsonthewing\|Talk to Andy]]; [[Special:Contributions/Pigsonthewing\|Andy's edits]]</span> 14:56, 17 July 2012 (UTC) ::''that's an expression of a debatable opinion, not a recognisable fact'' actually according to [[Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Infoboxes]] it's ''is determined through discussion and consensus among the editors at each individual article''. Note that bots and scripts to not participate in discussion and consensus and their operators must determine the consensus before using them.
