Despite the fact that every character can now have an infobox, we all know every character shouldn't. In this, I will go over when it's right to use an infobox for characters, and for events as a side piece.

Characters
For some characters, infoboxes are a nice way to easily show some info and images, especially for larger articles. On small articles, they feel more like padding than anything, so it's best to keep them out of articles that have less than two paragraphs (and not tiny ones, sizeable ones). Aside from that, if the character doesn't have much info to begin with, and the infobox is mostly just the image, then it undermines the purpose. If you want a shiny thing for your image, just make an image border yourself.

Events
Almost all events could use an infobox. As long as the event is big enough (and not something like "the day Weegee forgot to eat his lunch"), then it should be fine. Events don't have to have as much info as a character, since events are more varied, but try to fill in as much as you can.
