Our templates are highly complex and we use them to organize information in an accurate and systematic manner. The coding used on our templates is what helps us categorize and display information that is both visually enticing and provides automatic categorization. The key to that is the complex coding process. We use our templates as a standard for almost every article across the entire wiki and not just as infoboxes. You can't just create a basic template that removes all our categorization and deface the visual standard just because.

There might be room for improvement, but being a new editor, you should consult with the admins and start a discussion about how to improve our current templates instead of changing stuff on a whim. That, or just work around the already established system as everyone else does.
