 * But its not quick or simple

It's literally clicking and choosing a type. Do you know any faster method to classify them? Care to recommend it please?


 * or frankly wanted for my wiki.

Wikis are colaborative efforts, they don't belong to individuals, you don't have a wiki you can call yours, no matter if you started it or if you've made tons of editions in it. I don't see anyone else who colaborates in your wiki complaining about these changes or expressing they don't want them.


 * A) it does nothing

Did you even read the post? It adds types to templates.


 * B) it locked out Firefox and forces me to restart it.

That is your problem and you have to solve it. And just because it behaves in an undesirable way on your end doesn't mean it should be turned off for everybody else.


 * In fact, its probably going to generate garbage because I have accidentally clicked Infobox several times when I go to click something else.

Yeah, probably. Or probably not. Also, did you know you can change the type once you've selected one?


 * If you provide us a way to type the templates en-masse rather than one at a time then I would consider doing that in bulk.

This is actually a really good suggestion! Bravo! Someone else also suggested somtehing similar above. And I fully agree.

It's not my intention to be snarky or rude here, but it really irks me when people adopt a "I don't find any personal benefit from this, therefore, it's a bad feature and I want to have it turned off" entitled, uninformed attitude. You may not like this feature or find it useful at all, but that doesn't mean anyone else who contributes in your wiki will think the same.
