Yes, we are keeping the difficulty. That's why I took the time to create Difficulty level. You put that in the infobox template so when the infobox is put on the page, it displays the difficulty level as dictated by that template. To change any difficulty levels, you change the template rather than anything on the page itself. This means that if there is a difficulty dispute, the difficulty information isn't housed on the page, requiring it to be protected. Instead, the difficulty is housed in a template which is hard to get to and, if vandalism persists, can be protected without affecting the rest of a page's protection level. By isolating the difficulty into one template which displays across many pages, you make sure the difficulty isn't changed too often, meaning you can deny the ability to change the difficulty until a discussion has been had, and then change the template to fit with the community's wishes overall. What I mean by getting rid off the difficulty parameter with a bot is so that the infoboxes don't have a parameter that looks like this: | Difficulty = because the difficulty would be called on directly by the infobox itself, not requiring users to enter anything on that page. Having the difficulty parameter sitting there unused will confuse people when they can see the difficulty in the template.

What I am proposing to do to infobox quest exactly is changing this: ! Facebook Difficulty

! iOS Difficulty

! Android Difficulty to this: ! Difficulty and change every other instance of the parameter in that infobox called to difficulty level, so it uses the values called upon by that template to change what is needed. Understand? Just tell me if this isn't clear.

So, can I do this, and do you know anyone with a bot that can be called upon to clean the existing transcluded infoboxes up? If the answer to that second question is no, I'll call upon somebody I know, but if you have a user already here who can do it, that would be better.
