Hello! I would like to hear from a few editors about the infobox on this page, specifically the "Family" section. In the interest of keeping the infobox short and presenting only key details about Jabba, I removed a number of his family members. I retained only three relatives: Gorga, Ziro, and Rotta. These Hutts are mentioned either in the body of the article, or in the Star Wars Databank, or both. The ones I removed are not mentioned in either, leading me to the conclusion that they're not important enough to retain in the infobox.

Another editor has restored the family members I removed, feeling that they are important to mention. You can view our conversation here. I'm going to reach out to @TAnthony and @Cukie Gherkin, because I've spoken with both of them about Star Wars character infoboxes in the past. Could you two please offer your thoughts?

Thanks! Wafflewombat (talk) 03:23, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am of the opinion that the infobox should only cover the most pertinent of details. For example, if the family members are trivial, leave them out. If the gender is obvious (judgment call), leave it out. If they're just a human, don't specify their species. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 03:31, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the swift reply. The problem might be that in one person's eyes, these family members are important, but in another's, they are trivial. Do you have any thoughts about how to resolve such differences? Wafflewombat (talk) 03:36, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If it was necessary, the best solution would be to gain consensus. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 03:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
