Most of the Wikipedia core templates were re-written to LUA ~2 years ago. This wiki doesn't run [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto Extension:Scribunto], which means no #invoke:, so templates such as [[Template:Mbox|<nowiki>{{mbox}}</nowiki>]] and the rest of its family ([[Template:Asbox|<nowiki>{{ambox}}</nowiki>]], [[Template:Cmbox|<nowiki>{{tmbox}}</nowiki>]], [[Template:Imbox|<nowiki>{{fmbox}}</nowiki>]], etc) are broken. WP editors seems to have been extremely fervent in their pursuit to replace every legacy style mbox-type template, and I can find almost none that a decently visually appealing to borrow code from. I was considering going back and refactoring an early 2014 version of Mbox to work here (pre-LUA switch), but boy is it looking like a ton more work than expected and I'll probably find a heap more template transclusions to fix before it's even partially functional. | Most of the Wikipedia core templates were re-written to LUA ~2 years ago.
