Forum:New Portable Infoboxes

For those who regularly edit infoboes and/or templates, you may have noticed that Wikia is dishing out a new style of infobox called PortableInfoboxes. On many template pages, you can generate a preview and draft for said infobox. Most of what I've tried to do so far with it comes out broken, but I haven't thoroughly gotten my hands dirty with it. On the bright side, I guess this makes it easier for newer wikis to start making their own infoboxes without having to import mountains of code (okay I'm exaggerating a bit here).

Anyways, I ask this as a general question: what do you think of the Portable Infoboxes? The initial sight of them actually kind of repulses me atm, partly because it basically dismisses the time and effort wasted into making infoboxes work for this and other wikis I edit on. But I guess it's for the better, and once the initial meeting wears off, I'll probably be ready to accept this. Should our wiki start investing into the new Wikia standardised infoboxes? 09:29, August 31, 2015 (UTC)
