Today we have released another update to the infoboxes:


 * Starting from Today first image in the infobox will be used to represent articles in Category Exchibition & Gallery, Read More module and in social media.


 * We have intruduced new tag that allows formatting input data before displaying it (no more need to hack the field!). For example:

You can read more about the tag here: Help:PortableInfoboxes It seems to work adequately. What I really like in the latest update is the new error handling. It is so easy to see the mistake and fix it quickly.

I'm not sure about one thing though, if you have a default tag and a formatting tag which one will actually alter the presentation of the data?

If both can handle that functionality, I think it is best to prevent wikitext in the default tag, and only allow it in the formatting tag. Only allowing "normal text"  will reduce a lot of errors down the line, and reduce confusing functionality.

The general rule of  functions applies here, 1 function one role, and one output.
