There is no contradiction. But, my view is that the best way increase adoption is to first evaluate the main use cases, even before the gui is created. Once the new infobox caters well to most of them, then they can be converted to the new potBoxes, and it will be easier to create a gui. If the opposite is done with GUIs, chances are that we'll have lots of cases of broken potBoxes or users resisting change.

As far as I can tell the only thing that it doesn't work well with is those gimmicks that people like to add, e.g. sliders, switch, and such. Another issue is that the episode/event navigation doesn't seem like it'll work well. Unless maybe the comparison tag is used.

One thing that would be nice though, is if the new prototype previewer also had some way of previewing the CSS changes on the fly, e.g changing color/border/etc, instead of the old change/save/refresh/preview.

Edit: Also, I'm not sure but I think templates could be used to add parts of the infoboxes, for example, rather than writing :.

There could be a template that does this using:

Template:CompareHeroes
