I guess they won't be seeing so much use any more, but I'm glad to see the evolution. Well, you can always write a new blog on the new infoboxes. Generally speaking, infoboxes aren't something one can simply just wake up and decide to do. In fact,  when I was a novice wiki contributor, I learnt how to create infoboxes using information from your blog. The general help page was too complicated at the time for me. I think a lot can be done to (A) make them good for almost everyone, and (B) make them easy to implement so people don't have to go read a tutorial somewhere to know to even use them.

If Wikia (and other wikis) have one issue, is that there's quite a barrier to entry for most people, in that most stuff is overly complex without really needing to be. Wikia does a good job at improving this, though.
