Hi, Knakveey, you have indeed come to the right place if you want to talk about infoboxes, and thanks for reaching out to us!

I was already planning on rewriting our current Infobox metatemplate code in Lua in the future, a rewrite I was going to implement on other wikis I am active on. This was to make the infobox code faster and more readable. The syntax our current Infobox metatemplate uses would be the same, and the functionality would be intact.

From what I know of the PortableInfoboxes code Wikia is implementing, it does not have the full functionality that our infoboxes demand, and as such, too many compromises would be needed to adapt it. So my options would be either to fork PortableInfoboxes to implement the functionality - which would maybe be more difficult than starting from scratch - or to rewrite our infobox code, and make them appear similar to PortableInfoboxes, if this is designed to make it appear better on Mobile devices.

I hope these compromises will be okay.
