I'd like to see something which outlines the difference between a navbox and a category because at this point in time I am unclear. I did think we had guidance somewhere that they shouldn't replicate a category, but off the top of my head I can't recall where.

Revision as of 17:54, 3 October 2006
I suggest you propose this only as an essay. Also, check the Manual of Style to see if it is already covered therein or can be adequately addressed with a paragraph therein. GRBerry 12:55, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- I asked on IRC, and they said there was no simlar policy/guideline. →AzaToth 12:59, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hmm, I've found Wikipedia:Navigational templates which is obviously highly relevant. It also says most of what needs to be said. Also relevant to what to include inside a navigation box is Wikipedia:Only make links that are relevant to the context. GRBerry 13:12, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Yea, I forgot that, but's that just an HOWTO, it wont guide/force people how to create an nav box. →AzaToth 13:34, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to see something which outlines the difference between a navbox and a category because at this point in time I am unclear. I did think we had guidance somewhere that they shouldn't replicate a category, but off the top of my head I can't recall where. Steve block Talk 12:58, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
