User blog:LostInRiverview/Infobox template migration: Difference between revisions

From a technical standpoint, the easiest way for us to transition from old to new infobox design would've been for us to simply edit the original infoboxes and replace the old code with the new infobox code. We deliberately chose not to do this, however. The main reason for this decision is that we wanted to give editors, especially fanon editors, the choice of which infobox design to use for a particular page. Additionally, while in most cases transitioning from old to new design should be seamless, we cannot guarantee that every single transition will be 100% perfect without some additional tweaks. In order to avoid multiple problems on multiple pages simultaneously, it makes more sense to create new templates and migrate each page over to the new templates one by one (or with the assistance of a [[The Sims Wiki:Bots|bot]]).
