But it still thinks all this child/transformers should be changed to the new mark up though. I don't want someone to think we need to update these (children and transformers).

If they do it will break the wiki and if someone thinks they should, they might try (and if I am gone or away- it would be terrible, plus I don't want to explain myself why the wiki says one thing and we do another).

How do we permanently tell the wiki that they aren't infoboxes (that they are children of the Master Infobox which is in the new mark up) to be converted and to stop asking to convert? When with this insight report stop reporting this? best thing to do in this case is to


 * 1) not edit any of those as editing will reset the system and display the message once again. no idea why, staff is aware of said bug.


 * 1) always lock the most important templates, that way even if someone tries there is less risk. plus even if the system gets around that edit block, it doesn't automatically replace the infobox until someone approves. by locking, an admin would have to approve and thus solving your problem. policy, highly used images, important templates [especially small pieces that affect other important templates], home page templates should almost always be locked to prevent accidental changes that are not desired regardless of what staff thinks. a minor change to those minor templates can cause your main templates to randomly display improperly and cause not needed stress of searching the problem.
