Proposing navbox updates

edit

Hello! I'm here to make a suggestion to improve this navigation box. Full disclosure: I have a financial conflict of interest, as I am here on behalf of WPP plc through my work at Beutler Ink. I've disclosed my COI at the top of this talk page and the WPP talk page where I have been working with editors to update that article.

The current navigation box contains numerous red links and unlinked entries. Since Navigation templates says the purpose of navboxes is to "facilitate navigation between those articles in Wikipedia", I ask editors if they think it's necessary to include so many red links and unlinked text. I also want to note that Wikipedia:Navigation template says red links and unlinked text should normally be avoided. What I've done is create markup for a revised navigation box that removes the red links, most unlinked text, and the current subgroups. I feel a streamlined navigation box could be more useful to readers.

Of course, I will leave it for volunteer editors to decide if this would be an improvement to the encyclopedia!

Due to my COI, I would prefer an uninvolved editor review and place the updates if they look ok.

@Dormskirk: If you have the time, would you be willing to review this request?
