:::Hi Riverview, thanks for letting me know about that and I'm sorry! I didn't mean to intentionally step on anyone's toes (most of the communties I've been helping usually don't have such an active community base so I didn't realize there was a better way to approach a community about making sitewide changes). I'll make sure to post there before making anymore changes so everyone can have a say in it and make sure no future problems arise (while admittedly a little belated for some changes, though you can revert the infobox codes if you wish).

::::Well, I don't want to personally act in a unilateral fashion. If you [[Forum:New_infobox_design|look at when we discussed updating the infobox themes]], you can see that updating the templates from standard coding to PI coding was an eventual goal, hindered by the fact that no one on the wiki was experienced or comfortable working with that coding scheme. So I don't immediately have a problem with the fact that the templates are updated.
::::However, I did notice that you deleted a few of the old-style infoboxes. Those infoboxes were kept intentionally because they are/were widely used on the fanon pages. We have a standing practice of not meddling too much in how people run their fanon pages, so we had not forced fanon authors to convert to the new infobox design, we left the old infoboxes available as an option, and we didn't force-migrate to the new infobox via a bot (in fact, one of the wiki's policies is that it is generally not allowed to edit another person's fanon pages except to make minor and uncontroversial changes). This is also why [[User:K6ka|K6ka]] reacted to you experimenting on fanon pages; we treat fanon pages as "owned" by the person that created it, so we never use them for experimenting on. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 01:41, August 15, 2019 (UTC)
:::::Ah, that makes sense (I was wondering why it was labeled as being phased out but never actually phased out). I'll make a post shortly on the forums regarding the changes and open discussion regarding it. Please also let me know if you need help reverting any of the changes (including the deleted templates).
