 * even though infoboxes are ultimately meant to look consistent from wikia to wikia.

Woah, what? Since when?

Where does it say that there is supposed to be consistency amongst page content from wikia to wikia?

I have specifically asked about this in the past, and was told that there were no policies even regarding internal consistency, let alone external consistency.

edit: For the record, I slightly misremembered this:
 * I asked: "Once upon a time, I swear I read a wikia guideline saying that there was no requirement for different wikis to follow the same layout conventions, and even that consistency across articles within the same wiki wasn't necessary either. There's an editor telling me he's "right" because "all the other wikis do it this way", and I would like to point him to what I remember reading about consistency between different wikis not being a rule. Any idea where i can find that?"
 * The answer I received from Wikia Staff confirmed that this was true, and quoted "We strongly encourage wikis to create their own specific guidelines and rules that fit their community and topic." from Help:Community_guidelines.
 * I never found what I had previously read about there being no rule regarding internal consistency, nor was it addressed in the response, but clearly, if wikis may create their own specific guidelines, then wikis can choose for themselves whether they want their "character" and "location" infoboxes to look the same, and whether or not they want the HTML to be consistent.
