With 138 members of this list and the list increasing all the time, a nav template is not a reasonable navigation tool. The list and a category are much better tools for this at this. Muhandes (talk) 17:52, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

How does it address the issue? Adding this template to 138 articles is more reasonable that creating a category? How does it add in any way to the list? --Muhandes (talk) 19:03, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
What part of the policy that says categories, lists and navigation templates should all be used because they all valid is not addressing the issue? Prince of Thieves (talk) 00:08, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This template has only three articles, which isn't enough to warrant such a template. Namcokid47 (talk) 16:42, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was Moved to project space. Moved to project space by author. --woodensuperman 16:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Article masquerading as a navbox. Too convoluted to provide any useful navigation function. Unused (and should remain that way). {{Francis James Child}} is the template to use. See previous discussion. --woodensuperman 12:47, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Keep it's not used or expected to be used as a navigation template. It isn't even supposed to be used in articles. It is an index which is transcluded onto the project banner for the Child ballads project, which is in turn used on 310 talk pages. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:28, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't what navboxes are for. See WP:NAVBOX. --woodensuperman 14:29, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a navbox, it's part of another template. Prince of Thieves (talk) 14:43, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It is a navbox, as it uses the navbox markup, and people may see it as such and use it in this way. --woodensuperman 15:04, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I will add a namespace error switch then. The point is that it is not a navigation template, it's a perfectly useful index. Prince of Thieves (talk) 15:19, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good idea. I did that. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:34, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Can you move all the sub-templates as well please. --woodensuperman 16:36, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I will post back when done. Prince of Thieves (talk) 16:37, 8 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
