One topic I forgot to address in the original post is the easy method of converting templates to the new markup. When you go to a template that Wikia considers an infobox, there will be a panel on the side saying that the template uses the old markup and needs to be converted. To convert the template, click the button that says "Generate draft markup", which will create a page called "Template:Templatename/Draft" with a version of the template using the new markup. After editing the page to make sure it's correct, you can click the button that says "Approve this draft", which will copy the draft code to the old page and then delete the draft. Before you click this button, make sure that the parameter names are the same, so that you do not have to edit any pages that use this template to fix them.

Like many code-things on Wikia, you will not be able to notice your changes until you clear your cache. Your best bet is to either edit a page that uses the template to check if it works; otherwise, you may have to wait up to 24 hours for the changes to appear.

For right now, please do not convert any templates that are used by more than a couple of users, and if you do convert a template that is not used only be you, please let the other people who use it know.
