Navboxes

Please don't add a bunch of redirects to a navboxs, they are for linking and connecting full articles. Redirects just clutter them up with information which is better suited for a list or article.★Trekker (talk) 23:20, 14 August 2017 (UTC)

It just bothered me that the Hellboy template includes an incomplete list of Hellboy/B.P.R.D titles. What do you suggest?

Make the redirects into fully fledged complete articles (if they are notable). Navboxes do not exist to list everything about a franchise or subject but to connect articles to each other.★Trekker (talk) 14:25, 15 August 2017 (UTC)

Got it now. I was thinking of the template not as a navigational aid but as offering information in and of itself. I didn't know they were called navboxes until I read your message. Thanks for the clarification. Chris Madden : Talk 00:12, 16 August 2017 (UTC)
