Okay, so I tried editing the template:infobox character for the fandom I'm the admin of. I edit in source mode all the time, so I just wanted to make a few slight changes so spell check wouldn't bug me every time I opened a page.

Basically, all I did was change "imagecaption" to "caption", "birthDate" to "birth_date", and "maritalStatus" to "marital_status". This seemed to work out fine, with those previously filled in parameters reappearing after making the same changes on an individual character's page in source mode.

However, in visual editor the old version of those parameters still exist, they just migrated to the bottom of the infobox. So now there are two versions of each of the fields I edited.

The funny thing is, this isn't the first time I made a change like this. A while ago I changed the field "ocupation" to "occupation" and for a little bit there were two parameter boxes, but then the old one went away. And I for the life of me can't remember how that happened.

I'm hoping there's a way to get rid of those redundant fields for the visual editors of the wiki.
