By the way, I replied to your post on that thread. I've quoted it here for your convenience.

Because I usually use them like this (with meta templates that transclude infoboxes) which in that case requires #if or else it will force the images even with an empty field and out of habit and/or if I want to utilize the if functions in the field eventually, so I have been using it that way.

Actually, this is exactly what I wanted to know. And, yes, it does apply to the topic of this thread. What it tells me is that you are using #if instead of the tag. Since the format tag is something that is part of the current styling system for a portable infobox, that tells me that Wikia needs to improve it and/or make its use more obvious.
