For the record, I couldn't care less about portable infoboxes implementation or non-implementation, since my wiki doesn't use complicated infoboxes anyways. However I find it very unfair that Fandom would have enforced something I see as an optional change in the absence of or against a community consensus.

At the same time, I've long known that Wikia sometimes makes changes that are simply not optional, but I thought these changes limited themselves to the website design, how the content is framed. Which, brings me back to my first argument: Fandom's control may or may not extent to infoboxes, depending of whether you think they're part of the Fandom-controlled design or part of the user-controlled content. It seems clear that for Fandom, it's the former.
