The infoboxes aren't standardized at all. The HTML they generate is.

Hehe-- I am going to rankly speculate nearly all of them follow an obvious standard of key/value pairs where the key is a string. And then there are like two or three subcultures on Wikipedia that put rando stuff in there and would troll to the death before being forced to change the their infobox class to "rando_box" or whatever negligible effort it would take them if a standard were to be enforced.
Am I anywhere close to being correct?
