Please do not add more people to the influential section until we come to a consensus at the above discussion. We don't want it to become bloated with links to people who are not accepted as influential via broad consensus. ···

Duplicate links

The following have been removed due to them redirecting to articles already included in the template. We should only be linking once per navbox:

That wasn't so much a discussion as a four or five people talking in an echo chamber.

I'm perfectly willing to accept changes if there's a valid reason for it. So far, I'm not seeing one. ···

As demonstrated there has been consensus not to include hidden links to categories in navboxes for some time. --

Semi-protected edit request on 19 February 2020

I've noticed the link to "jump drive" is currently a usb flash drive, with other redirects for jump drive otherwise linking to the page hyperspace anyway. I suggest removing the link for jump drive, as making it a redirect would only link to the page immediately next to it. Erfly (talk) 00:11, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Done .

Semi-protected edit request on 4 March 2020

The embedded template added in this edit should be reverted, as this is not the correct way to use navboxes. If this really needs to be done, then a simple merge would have been the correct procedure. It seems Jonesey95 already has expressed issues with this edit. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 10:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain why it is not a correct way. Many templates are transcluded into each other.

A simple merge will not do, because the embedded template may be used independently, and merging will create maintenance problems commonly associated with

A navbox should be transcluded on all included articles. If it is worthy for inclusion here, then this navbox belongs on that page, not a subset of those articles. i.e. it shouldn't be used independently. Therefore a merge would facilitate that. In any case
WP:BRD needs this to be reversed. 212.135.65.247 (talk) 08:55, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply

Why shouldn't? There is no reason to drag a huge scifi navbox into all scifi articles. Some of them have a limited sub-scope., with narrower navigation range. And nothing should be reversed without the conclusion of the discussion. My transclusion added missing items into the template. If one reverts, they must re-add information. Otherwise the act will be non-constructive.
