I thought the instructions are pretty clear, and I further simplified them. I thought it is simpler to let the template fill in some repetitive functions. The reasons for the automated functions are 2:

1. Consistency. All campaign infoboxes look and act the same, and the most important info is also consistently expressed. I was actually thinking of assigning specific default colors depending on the chosen category (say, Chaos Campaigns could always be by default black on red, etc.) Since infoboxes are supposed to give a snapshot of the page for those too short of time or too lazy to read the text, it's important to have consistent signifiers.

2. Reuse. All templates can use the automated code. The "cat" field can be used in all other infoboxes, by simply changing the category parameters. The "status" field can be used for example in the Infobox Chapter, in place of "allegiance". Example: change the signifiers to L, T, P, R, X (to result in Loyalist/Traitor/Penitent/Renegade/eXtinct). "Status" is also imo better than "Allegiance". Allegiances fluctuate.

However if you don't agree I will remove the auto code.
