Thanks to User:Dianafa and User:Dessamator for the feedback.

I personally like the simple style of the PortableInfoboxes and have embraced them fully on the wikis I founded. I tried various styles of my own but return to the default as it works best on my wikis.

Once the tools to create and style PortableInfoboxes are up and running then the "awful stigma" as defined by Dessamator will hopefully fade-away.

I suspect that the resistance would be less if Users did not feel like the change was/is being forced upon them.

For the users that have found that their Infoboxes are not displaying information correctly after the force change to portableInfoboxes See comment the infoboxes and any related templates are broken from their point of view and as it's wikia staff that would have made the changes they should have made sure the wikis were working fine after the change.

As for the comment on the bad use of the migration tool nobody on the wikis that have been damage used the migration tool to switch to portableInfoboxes. As they stated in their comments (Starting from ) the change was an un-requested one.

If they are right and I'm not saying they are I'm just playing Devil's advocate because as far as I can tell I've not had my Infoboxes updated to the new PortableInfobox code on any of the wikis I have founded but as I have already made my Infoboxes portable I'm not going to see any problems any way (I hope).

As for the wikis that have been updated it may be best for users that are not happy to check with the admins of the wikis to see if they have requested the change and are currently working to fix any errors in the PortableInfoboxes as it would be just as shameful of users to blame wikia staff if the change was made as a request from the admins of the effected wikis.
