Naming conventions are about ease of use and consistency, template usage count are irrelavant here (A simple redirect will fix that).

Generally the bigger the wiki gets the more templates there are, and using a descriptive template names helps organize and distinguish them from each other at a glance. For example, it helps find/add them in search/visual-editor. (Since most of us don't know the exact name of each and every template), wikia link auto-complete function makes adding Navboxes much easier when they are named 'Template:Navbox..', and IMHO between all the other quote\youmay\etc templates it is always better to have the type before then name i.e. {{infobox name.

The only reason for not using 'infobox' in infobox template names that i can think off, is specific to Wikia recent template type feature, which added a seprate category for them in visual mode, assuming that seeing 'infobox event' is an issue for you.

Overall regardless of the convention you choose, it need to be applied consistently. And as for the default wikia templates, they are useless and can/should be deleted with extreme prejudice. These are usually relic of new wikia editors unsure of their footing/needs so they creating a templates of their own with diffrent convention to set it apart from the offical/unused ones.(same as template:name1/2/3/..)

As referenced in our Template policy, templates already have a standard naming convention without "Infobox".

Do you mean Project:Template Guide? I only see a list of Infobox Templates, and an incomplete one as such. Regardless if things need changing, lets not be Kane ;)
