Board Thread:Support Requests - Getting Technical/@comment-3218221-20180311023041

The template Template:Episode was created on the Baccano! Wiki back in 2009 [Fig 1] and went completely untouched until the present day, when I decided to convert it (and revamp it in the process). When I first converted it, I essentially saw it as it looks now [Fig 2] - seemingly converted, but with Wikia claiming that the converted version was not using the new markup.

I decided to copy the converted code, undo the conversion, and recreate the draft by pasting the new markup code into it directly (as the first time around, I'd edited the code post-conversion and wanted one edit this time). When I saved the draft, I witnessed the very odd...well, just look at [Fig 3] and see for yourself. The title of the portable infobox at the top, and then the old infobox appearing at the bottom. Possibly just a cache issue?

When I went ahead and published the draft, I was back to the equivalent of [Fig 2] once more. Note that if you move to generate a new markup from here, you see the following:

Reminded of a relevant situation that happened when the Durarara!! Wiki 'converted' an infobox marked as non-portable and lost its tags in the same mode as above (-->it turned out that the infobox was already portable despite the notification and the conversion was subsequently undone), I thought to try and replicate what happened by approving the above blank new markup and then undoing it back to the original new code. ...The outcome was the same.

I have performed hard refreshes, purged via ?action=purge and checked ?=debug1. I also checked the API - there are 24 tasks in the queue, unusual for the wiki. One of the Durarara!! wiki admins briefly discussed this issue with a Staff member on the Dev Discord server, and it sounds like I may simply have to play the waiting game until the cache regenerates.

Ahh, the cache...looming its dreary head once more.

In the end, the Drrr!! wiki admin and I thought it would be worth bringing this to the Getting Technical Board just in case – not to mention, others may have experienced similar conversion issues. And, of course, to check and see if there was anything I ought to have done or ought not to have done. Thank you for your time.
