One template (this, for reference) is consistently not opening in source mode, but one I expect to need to make edits to sometime soon that I hadn't tested yet (this) seems to be always opening that way (and I can't force it to open in the builder even if I manually type the builder URL; it just opens to source).

I have no idea if this worked. 0_o

(My hunch is that it might not have (or maybe I checked the other page before it "took" somehow) and that I somehow picked a bad template to test with (like, it confuses the builder somehow and forces it to open in source, or else it somehow doesn't count as a portable infobox (it was updated from a traditional template syntax version)), but I really have no idea.)

Thanks for the JS, though! I read JS on what might as well be a kindergarten level and write it like a two-year-old, so it's really helpful, both to do things and so I can attempt to try to read and understand it myself. XD

The awful transition away from containment of information wholly in wikitext is probably to blame.

That is, Template Types.
