I would've betted that someone has already suggested the following, but it appears not - unless I fouled up the searches I just tried (in which case, apologies): Infoboxes seem to've become part of the Wikipedia furniture, at least in the English Wikipedia. Hence, rather than the many "Template:Infobox..." pages (with inconsistent capitaliz/sation etc), suggest an "Infobox:..." namespace created. Regards, David.
In general, changes like this aren't made unless evidence is provided that the change is generally agreed upon in the wiki at question. Namespace changes are relatively reversible, unlike some other changes, so the bar isn't sky-high like for case-sensitivity or whatever, but people with shell access aren't too interested in bothering if tomorrow it might be agreed that they should change everything right back. I suggest you open a discussion at [[WP:VPR]] pointing to a proposal at [[Wikipedia talk:Infoboxes]] and come back in a couple of weeks with the answer.
(In reply to comment #1) Thanks Simetrical; I'll try this anon. Yours, David.
Marking resolved/later. Reopen the bug when you have community approval.
Has there been any progress?
