:Hi Syde, I do apologize! I had reached out to [[User:K6ka|K6ka]] on their page and thought they'd let you all know a few content team members (myself right now) were planning to work on helping get the infoboxes portable and as I wasn't sure who needed to be talked to I just reached out to an active beaucrat. If you can let me know what you guys don't like about the portable infoboxes that have been done so far (the family and game one) I can look into those to see if we can find a solution. As for the images, I do know of a possible workaround if you're ok with all images having the same size/format, though it will no longer have the option in visual editor to select a file and any captions wouldn't be a real caption (it's become it's own separate data field).

::I can't speak for other admins or other wiki users, but the issue I have isn't with the changes that have been made, but rather ''how those changes were made''. When someone (admin or non-admin alike) wants to make a major change to how a template looks and/or functions on the wiki, it is customary to discuss the matter and seek feedback in the [[Forum:Community discussions|community discussions forum]] before undertaking any changes. We prefer to iron out as many wrinkles in a particular idea or design before taking it "live" for the broader community, and we value the rights of our community of editors to weigh in on things that will affect them. Simply notifying an active bureaucrat that you're looking into changing templates doesn't meet this principle; there's a fundamental difference between "we're looking into changing something," and "we've just changed something." The outcome of that hypothetical discussion may have even yielded support for the change, but the cat's out of the bag on it now so it's hard to really say for sure. So, the issue isn't what you did, it's how you did it. -- '''[[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>''' 01:11, August 15, 2019 (UTC)
