I'm done for the day, so I don't have time to compose a full response for here, novel thread, etc. I'll try to get back tomorrow, however I may have limited time – one of the wikia's I'm an admin on has an episode airing tomorrow.

Making changes to the scope of infoboxes does require going through the forum. Template documentation is often considered 'policy' for that infobox, so I'd wait to include scope information there until a discussion can be held. (Side note, if we're only doing significant occupations/affiliations/etc, then perhaps we need occupations/affiliations/etc section in articles, similar to how we have significant kills in infobox and full kills in it's own section.)

Infoboxes, including on Wikipedia, often include info that's not in the article. (On Wikipedia, we include ref's in the infobox for any info not sourced in the article. Since this wikia doesn't use refs for info within episodes/books, that means practically nothing in infoboxes gets sourced, which is a completely different discussion.) For example, height, weight (athletes, including in non-weightclass sports), salary, etc. I don't consider it a major issue. Also, often infoboxes are made before full contents of a page is written. So infoboxes serve as a quick glance completed section while text sections might be episodes behind or completely blank/non-existent.
