Navigation template used only on a draft article which appears to be a hoax. All links are either red or link to unrelated pages (probably because the template was copied from {{Nazism sidebar}}). Omphalographer (talk) 21:17, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Significantly limited in functionality compared to Template:US government sources. Should be deleted as redundant. —Matrix(!) (a good person!)[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much] 17:58, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure that I see a single appropriate use of this template:

  • User talk:AugustusAudax uses this template for giving information and linking to a related page, not for directing the user to a different page they were looking for. Arguably, the idea that a hatnote can also "serve as [...] a notice template", as stated in the documentation, is contrary to the hatnote guideline.
  • Template:Welcome-turnaround/doc uses the template at the bottom of the page, not the top, so it isn't being used to generate an actual hatnote according to the guideline's definition. It also isn't being used to direct the user to a different page.
  • Wikipedia:Information suppression does correctly use the template in accordance with the hatnote guideline; however, as the page is already tagged with {{historical}}, the added emphasis of "Please note:" is unnecessary. {{For}} can be used instead in this case.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment: I think it would be easier to turn this normal template into a substituted one, so that it could serve as a useful shortcut. —Matrix(!) (a good person!)[Citation not needed at all; thank you very much] 15:43, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
