Example
[edit]Here is an example inspired by ideas from the Community Wishlist - (i.e., Community Wishlist/Wishes/Quickly Add Infobox).
Title
[edit]Quickly Add Infobox
Description
[edit]Infoboxes improve accessibility and comprehension, but many articles lack them. A tool to simplify adding infoboxes could enhance Wikipedia’s usability. There is a huge list due to the diversity of topics in the encyclopedia.
Suggestion: having a button with a list of infoboxes to add quickly, or when creating a new article the assistant suggests a related infobox; for example: article biographies, biography infobox. In addition to adding the option to hide the infobox, this is good on mobile.
