	After four worlds, the infoboxes template code became messy and complicated to update, while the base {{tt\|Infobox}} template all infoboxes were based on had become outdated. Initially plans were made to create completely new, but identical looking infoboxes for Survival 5 with the Lua-based {{tt\|Infobox2}} template as a base while keeping the previous boxes on existing pages. Following discussion, instead of completely new infoboxes, the previous ones were re-written to use {{tt\|Infobox2}} as a base, and also received a visual update and support for multiple images.

	Proposals for {{tt\|Infobox Player}} were postponed and moved into this 'initiative' from Infobox 2.0. (Template:Infobox Player, while using the Infobox template as a base and looking like all other infoboxes, has a different enough use-case -user information on personal pages- to be treated differently. It is the most complicated infobox by far. This does not necessary mean the player infobox would stop using the base Infobox template, however the possibility exists.)
