August 23

Propose merging Template:DecadeCategoryNav with Template:Navseasoncats.
Template:Navseasoncats does a better job, more simply:

  1. Navseasoncats needs no parameters
  2. Navseasoncats displays 11 decades in the series, whereas Template:DecadeCategoryNav displays only 7.
  3. DecadeCategoryNav clutters its navbox with an extra row of extraneous links, to the raw decade. A navbox is a signpost, and clutter impedes navigation.

Navseasoncats has grown to become overwhelmingly the most-used navigation tool for years, decades, seasons, etc. Standardising on Navseasoncats where possible provides readers with consistency of navigation, which is an important goal of any computer interface.
