Either by accident or deliberately, you removed some things, that should've stayed, namely the occupations and the types of generations. Also, in affiliations, not every affiliation should be a link. Though that's not a hard thing to fix, of course. ;) Adding an infobox namespace doesn't require any change to the coding of the infobox itself. :P

Also, the method of checking to see if a page should be linked is an expensive function and not one I'm particularly keen on implementing at all. Therefore, just linking everything is better on the parser in terms of performance. #ifexist has a limit on how often it can be used, along with all the other parser functions: too many calls will cause anything after the limit has been reached to not be processed at all and be outputted as generic text.

If something wasn't included in the infobox, that's because it wasn't mentioned to me that it should have been included or it may have been that I looked at the pages and saw only a single use case at the time: more than likely, it would have been accidental, rather than delibate :P

If things like occupations should have been included, it only took a simple message saying "hey, you've missed Occupations, pls add" and I'd have gone and put it into the box without any fuss lol. :P
