We will also make sure that image from the infobox is the image that will represent the whole article in Category Exchibition and social sharing. I think this is part of a larger problem where images that are created using scripts or other "means" aren't shown. For example, if I use frame:preprocess to create an image using lua, it will not show up in the  Special:Insights/withoutimages   until the page is refreshed.

I'm guessing that wikia's parser simply looks for "File:" links in the unprocessed (source) page, so it doesn't document it when the page is created or cache is refreshed. Using special:insights to solve the problem seems to fix pages with that issue, provided that the page contains another "File:" link somewhere. Although doing this for hundreds of pages seems "counterproductive".
