Template:Technology (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

This template is a gigantic (and continually growing) index of barely related articles. It doesn't conform with the navigation template guidelines, which specify that "All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject" and "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent." I could see justification for more specific templates like "Military technology" or "Biomedical technology", but just "technology" is much too broad for a useful navbox.

comment, I agree that it's probably too broad, but less problematic than say Template:Emerging technologies. perhaps this is the sort of thing that should be left to categories and list articles. Frietjes (talk) 21:56, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

I think the template would be okay if there weren't a half dozen sub-navboxes stuffed in, which could reasonably be devolved to their own navboxes (and placed on the appropriate articles [which might have overlap with other existing navboxes]). --Izno (talk) 20:10, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, overly large and not a useful navigation tool. Subject is too broad. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 08:28, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Template:UNC-Chapel Hill landmarks (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Used on only a handful of articles. I'm not entirely sure if there is a suitable merge target for articles using this template, but I would guess that there is. Izno (talk) 13:32, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Template:Infobox historic site. --Hameltion (talk, contribs) 13:46, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
replace and delete, this is not prefixed by "infobox", so I would expect this to be a sidebar or a navbox. Frietjes (talk) 14:43, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
