No problem. Glad you caught it! 😀 As FANDOM already knows, we've been steadfast in wanting to maintain our SMW infoboxes over the portable infoboxes that FANDOM released years ago. We felt that, to be quite blunt, changing from SMW to portable infoboxes at the time would be a total degradation from what we currently had in nearly every way possible. Understandable. And that's why we took our time making sure we got things right. However, this proposed amalgamation between SMW and Lua, from first glance, seems like a very nice compromise between maintaining the SMW functionality that we stand by, and the portability on the Mercury skin that FANDOM has been pushing on communities for a while. You can try the Drafts that are already developed on live articles and compare the SMW properties. I've tested on a variety of articles, so I'm eager to have you find any faults (though I don't think you will). Again, given how stern we've been with keeping SMW here, I think the best case scenario in this would be us being able to preserve every function we currently have from SMW with little to no sacrifices, with it also being portable and upgraded by Lua. Nevertheless, I will admit, while I have experience in this area of the wiki, I am not a renown expert on it like say, User:UltimateSupreme. I'll observe from afar and hear opinions from him and others here who have similar experience and skill in this area more so than I after their inspections. That's our best case scenario, too. While I did make some design changes for readability and usability, there should not be any SMW functions sacrificed.
