I deleted a few obsolete templates though, which were mainly just placeholders as I was planning on making better ones anyway. But even about 9 hours after deleting those templates, it still gives Insight warnings, even though the templates shouldn't even exist anymore, and Convert produces a blank draft with no markup at all. (logical, because the template doesn't even exist to begin with)  I still think this is all a bit too drastic and unexpected, and you did a poor job on informing us. I could easily have followed the blogs and all (if it was announced there) but not everyone has a good internet connection, and some people already have trouble with the bills and taxes in the first place, and it would have been appreciated if drastic updates like this would appear in our notifications box or whatever.

It takes a while for the cache to reset and clear up the list. Generally 24 hours or so.

"I still think this is all a bit too drastic and unexpected, and you did a poor job on informing us."

I'm sorry to say that you're wrong. With most other features you might have been right. But this specific feature was announced more than 6 months ago in a forum which deliberately asked for user input Thread:841717.

There were also other announcements in subsequent blogs and technical updates (see this).

If that wasn't enough there has been an insights list on every wiki for several months "indicating" that the infoboxes are not portable.
