All right, there have been some discussions lately on the Category:Aliens Navigation templates, but they've been all over the place, so I just thought that I would start a forum topic for the matter to be discussed.

I for one don't really like the Templates. I don't see the purpose of them and I can't think of a situation where I would want to know what the aliens are for a season. And for pages like the Master, it just clogs up the page and doesn't have any benefit. I think we should just scrap the lot of them.

Some of the other template are equally as useless. Template:Platform One Visitors was only in one episode, Template:Robot types is arbitrary and there aren't enough K-9s to justify Template:K-9's.

So, any other thoughts on the matter? -<Azes13 14:20, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I agree whole heartedly. I'd also throw in all the Category:Villains Navigation templates, as they decide to list all the TV stories, but not the other medias that they appear in. The robot types is a bit odd and useless in that it deliberatly doesn't include a whole lot of robots. Template:Time Lords is another odd selective template.
A lot of these templates seem to do little but bulk up the base of the articles. --Tangerineduel 14:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
