See Gallery in Infobox Worked Yesterday but Doesn't Work Now on CC.
This small change seemed to fix the invocation of a PI, but it shouldn't have been needed.

I made the button in Example 2 green, but maybe you want the whole button to be a clickable?

The idea behind Flags was a good one. Perhaps it should have used reserved subpages or something like that. It serves as a further lesson that being careful with initial design and not just rapid development plus iteration needs to be considered.

Until we know how the user is planning to use #switch with images, we can't know for sure that the gallery implementation is what they want.

Unfortunately, along with the template it removed the category en masse from all those pages, and all logs related to that are also gone. I guess it is a good thing they weren't widely used, or this may have caused a big "outrage".
Sounds like Flags wasn't great from the design standpoint if removing it effectively equals loss of data.

I never got to use it much, but it had promise. I liked it better than template types.

I would go with Infoicon type and try to make the text as compact as possible.
And complain about how template types are rendered on the mobile skin at Special:Contact/feedback. I don't know why there is no mention of what specifically renders and what doesn't at Help:Template Types.

I often find it strange when people claim that the converter doesn't work. I took two random infoboxes and converted them:
Both were converted just by pressing a button, and although it still requires user intervention to make it look the way people may want, it greatly reduces the work related to adding the markup for each of these.
I suppose it may be possible to improve by either looking at the HTML dom, and extracting the fields from there rather than wikitext or using a mix of both. There are many ways to improve it, but all of them start with understanding in what exact cases it fails with clear examples, e.g. user expectation vs reality.
Perhaps I have low or realistic expectations or I simply misunderstand how people want these converted?
You got lucky.
