The infobox migration makes converting infoboxes to the new portable infoboxes code easy!
How to convert an infobox[]
Review the new infobox template draft[]
It's a good idea to look at the original markup and familiarize yourself with the help page, both of which are linked in the edit page you just landed on. Not all elements may carry over into the draft version, particularly for more complex infoboxes, so make sure to check it over, and add to or modify it as needed.
Background[]
Infoboxes are everywhere on Fandom. Pages that include at least one infobox comprise about 60% of traffic in each individual community. And that's for good reason! Infoboxes are popular both here and on Wikipedia because they're a simple, powerful way to summarize a wiki's content.
This graph helps illustrate just how mobile-oriented the future is. Not just for Fandom, but for the web as a whole. For example, take a look at the recent trends and future growth predictions for mobile traffic, it's staggering.
Infoboxes are special here because not only are they integral to Fandom, but their wikitext and styling simply don't translate well to devices that aren't a desktop or laptop. We've used "hacky" solutions for a long time, one engineer says a workaround was "does it have two columns? Then it's an infobox.", but the time has come for us to have a real, sustainable solution for infoboxes.
Fandom traffic is changing, and infoboxes need to change with it.
