Portable Infoboxes
Hi, seems like our discussion has more or less come a close in Forum:Portable Infoboxes — the return, we're just unable to make the edits ourselves at this time. Do you have any way to help us make the transition to portable infoboxes? 02:34, March 15, 2016 (UTC)

I've made a section in that forum for reporting issues with portable infoboxes. Have you been following it? There are quite a few issues with the new system that haven't been fixed yet. 03:00, March 18, 2016 (UTC)

Remaining Issues
Hi Czech! So at this point all we really need is for character infoboxes like here to lose the margin of space on all sides between the border of the image and the border of the infobox so that the image can fit perfectly into the infobox. Thanks again for your help! 22:12, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

Re: re: Remaining Issues
Yeah I was talking about Template:Char_Box. Is it possible for you to come on chat for a moment? 23:40, October 10, 2016 (UTC)

missing images
Some of the infoboxes are still missing images, even when the is on the wiki and named correctly. Any idea what's causing this? There are a bunch more under Special:Unusedimages. 01:17, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into that. There are also some that don't have apostrophes but still won't work like Superhuman Domingos and. 06:46, October 12, 2016 (UTC)

Solving the mystery: the issue was cause by the fact that some special characters in  and used in MW parsers functions yields unexpected results (see the bug note on MW's help page). A workaround is by "escaping" the  by using   (now it's working). I actually encountered this bug on one of the templates I made for my wiki and it drove me crazy for a while too :D

I understand, I just knew that there were some weird interactions between PAGENAME and other functions, so I tried that fix. Thankfully it worked even if it wasn't exactly the same thing. If you are in contact with the staff responsible for PIs, I think you would agree that the parameter should allow setting images/galleries from the template itself. This wiki is a peculiar case, but I think that generally there should be plenty of cases where some simple "automation" can be used and the fact that you cannot set any kind of image from the template itself is negating those possibilities. Can you maybe pass this feedback? Also, I always thought it was weird that you cannot make a collapsible group with more then one row... after all it's called "group".
