Unhelpful navigation box since all the links take you to category space, instead of to the corresponding articles Frietjes (talk) 16:34, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose (see below) - Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- per Wikipedia:Navigation template, navigation boxes are for navigation between existing articles on WP. if I want to see a list of all the articles on years in Nicaragua, I navigate to List of years in Nicaragua, which has all of them. if I want a list of all the year in Nicaragua categories I can go to Category:Years in Nicaragua or use

unused; links zero articles (all are category links which are already covered by the category tree) Frietjes (talk) 16:27, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose (hear me out?) - While the "Years in countries" categories, pages, and templates are definitely something to be improved upon; these templates, in my honest opinion, would provide helpful navigation between topics in the yearly history of various countries. These templates, while not perfect and currently relatively unused, would provide a structured, helpful way to easily find any page or category on any year in any given country. I've been trying to help organize the mess of pages and categories that exist in this mini-WikiProject of articles, but it's far too soon to make a bold move like deleting it. Hopefully, instead of deleting these works in progress, they can be improved upon by helping manage and create the pages and categories involved. Paintspot Infez (talk) 17:55, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

- Template:Years in Chad (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
unused; duplicates navigation provided by Template:Year in Chad Frietjes (talk) 16:30, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Strongly oppose (see above), and possibly discuss the usages of the two "Year in countries" template branches? - See above for my comments on the matter of the "Year in countries" project. However, the differences between and differing usages of the two branches of "Year in countries" templates (the ones with "Years" and the ones with "Year") should probably be discussed further, in order to help better the parts of the Wiki focusing on various nations.

- Template:Sindhi Scholars (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
It is always debatable whom to include in such template. Such cases are better served as category rather navbox. Störm (talk) 14:09, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Has the potential to be an indiscriminate mess. Agree with nom that category is better serving for navigation. Ajf773 (talk) 09:26, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
- Template:Content category (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
- Template:Category explanation (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)
Propose merging Template:Content category with Template:Category explanation.
{{Content category}} does the same job as {{Category explanation}}, except that {{Category explanation}} uses {{Hatnote}}, which {{Content category}} should but doesn't. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 09:23, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support per nom, no need to have two templates with the same purpose. Actually, aren't they both redundant? Typing plain text "This category is for" requires no more effort than typing "Template:Category explanation" and the result does not really look much different either. Marcocapelle (talk) 09:52, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: the advantage of {{Category explanation}} is that it links to Help:Categories, and formats the text as a {{hatnote}}, which adds it to some CSS classes:
<div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">
. Those classes may be used in several different ways.--BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 11:25, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- @Marcocapelle: the advantage of {{Category explanation}} is that it links to Help:Categories, and formats the text as a {{hatnote}}, which adds it to some CSS classes:
- Support - Per nom; there is little likelihood of them expanding into different purposes. - User:Axisixa [talk] [contribs] 01:26, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
- No objection, provided that the result handles full stops and spaces at least as well as Template:Category explanation currently does. – Fayenatic London 15:00, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
