→‎Birth place in Infobox: definitely a rule against using small tags in an infobox
Line 112:
{{ping|Oliszydlowski|GiantSnowman}} I was following [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=935234215&oldid=935229706&title=Emanuel_Lasker&type=revision this earlier edit]. But it is true, I do not know of an explicit rule that would require this; it only seems natural, given the abbreviated nature of everything in the infobox.

*Well, there's definitely an accessibility guideline that discourages use of {{tag|small}} in an infobox: see [[MOS:SMALL]]. Like many wikipedia guidelines this wasn't delivered from the heavens chiseled in stone, so there's no reason to expect anyone would know that wikipedia has made that style decision if they hadn't run across it before. I used to use smaller text occasionally in infoboxes before I realized that this was a no-no. Given pause to reconsider, I saw that I agreed with the rule and stopped.
