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)

I think it would be a good idea to start a forum like that but I still like the actual pages because they provide a lot of info and if you know somethings incorrect you can fix the problem by editing it.Also that would be a really braod topic for a forum.--Zecon4444 15:32, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


The aliens navigation thingies have a purpose. The robot template has very few robots as most if not all the rest are androids. I wouldnt mind u dealting it if u hat it though. The aliens navigations should stay though.--Skittles the hog 15:41, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

But what purpose is it? You haven't given a good reason to keep the alien navigation. -<Azes13 15:31, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

The aliens navigation templates ofer easy navigation between the aliens taht season. I did not originally create them, another user made the new series ones. They are usefull you just cant see it.--Skittles the hog 15:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
