I've noticed that only portable infoboxes seem to be included in the insert Dialog using Visual editor. I generally agree with this idea, but it will seem odd and confusing (if/when wikia kills off the rich text editor) that "classic infoboxes" don't get added into that insert dialog.

Considering that the Help:Infoboxes page talks about the "classic" infoboxes, and there is no mention about the new insert dialog  it seems prudent to either add some tooltip on the infobox icon, or update the Help:VisualEditor.

Another idea could be perhaps adding a link to Special:Insights as the first or last item in the dialog (e.g. "add more infoboxes") and/or making it clear in insights that only portable infoboxes are available in the insert dialog.

Lastly, it seems that the algorithm that generates that list simply dumps them in whatever order they are added to the array or table, probably using LIFO. This doesn't really matter much in small wikias with few infoboxes, but for large wikias it seems prudent to take a hint from the templates and sort them based on usage.

P.S. It also seems that the insert dialog lists drafts, although I don't know if this is intended or not.
