Template update[edit]

I made some changes to the template to improve its validity, brevity, and utility, including reorganizing the rows, replacing the individual names of all CEOs with link to List of IBM CEOs, and removing links to several defunct products, since they are still accessible via WP:CAT. If anyone feels any important links were removed, please feel free to restore, but would request they be added into the new rows instead of reverting all together. Thank you. 2600:1700:1BD0:3FF0:7910:2566:F9D0:B397 (talk) 14:57, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just now reverted. The massive amount of consolidation understates the breadth of the company's reach, makes for a bunch of inaccuracies (half of those "spinoffs" aren't actually spinoffs in the legal sense) and results in unsightly WP:SEAOFBLUE lists. IBM is a Big company; it's fine if it has a Big (but not too Big, which I don't think it currently is) navbox. DigitalIceAge (talk) 19:14, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
