User:Emptylord is the one who is testing out this new format and design-wise this is pretty much all his own creation. Concept-wise this has been something that has been talked about on and off for a while now and is mostly just updating the wiki for all the newer kinds of information we're keeping track of that we weren't when these pages were originally created. I can't speak for Empty specifically and why he chose the specific details he did but I can share the reasoning behind these changes. Keep in mind that the new infobox is separate of these changes and is entirely Empty's creation.

There's been 3 big, major changes:

First: the removal of the strategy page. The strategy page has been a huge topic of discussion over the years between the more active editors of the wiki as something that we shouldn't be endorsing. It's a page full of subjective information, it has information that cannot be factually proven right and often times has information or advice that is pretty bad or just wrong. Keep in mind comments aren't going anywhere and is the place that this information should reside.

Secondly: The removal of the skins & trivia page. It hasn't really been removed, just the information in it has been moved around to become better classified and as to not basically waste an entire page on 2-3 sections. This includes the "relations" section being moved to Background as it is a lore-oriented section, the skins have been moved to the main champion page and the trivia has been moved to the new development page.

Third: Reclassification of the Background page and addition of Development page. Currently the Background page hosts a lot of content that altogether isn't really related, it's basically the dumping ground of information that doesn't belong on the other pages. Background started out as a lore based page and that's what we're going back to, this leaves us with a bunch of things like champion sneak peeks, rework Q&A's, developmental images, past abilities, patch histories and more which are all interesting information but honestly have nothing to do with current information and there's where the new Development page comes in.

As always I'm more than willing to answer any and all questions you may have.
