Not to be antagonistic, but we discussed the fact that we would prefer there to be as little Lua as possible, and that you would need to build the portable infoboxes from the ground up - preferably without much Lua.

While I recognize that those two templates are big and unwieldy - and may well benefit from Lua equivalents - the necessity for Lua comes from your coding, not the templates. They work as expected.

The worry, as I've mentioned, is that we'll have templates that we won't be able to make necessary changes to our key templates without learning a new coding language - and that isn't really within the realm of possibility.
