above. I do not agree with you on issues 2,3 and 4. I see this way of organizing the songs as better simply because it avoids linking articles that the user might not be looking for and instead linking articles very relevant to the subject at hand, blink-182 singles. Singles not on any studio album can be seen under "other singles", which is precisely what they are, a fact that is omitted in the other navigation box. Just because one system is used for FA's doesn't mean that it is the best for every case, I'm sure you are aware of
128: 272: 247: 177: 159: 187: 703:. I pointed out featured articles as they represent Knowledge (XXG)'s best (peer-reviewed) work. All of the problems I listed above could easily apply to those 3 templates (30StM, Lostprophets, Sum 41) as well; Just because those templates are disorganized and treat their links like a discography doesn't mean this one should too. -- 764:
There is no need for 2 separate navigation templates when there are not that many articles that are being dealt with. There are only 16 Knowledge (XXG) articles about Blink-182 songs/singles; It hardly warrants splitting off a separate template altogether. As for your arguments, it is not up to us to

I created a template without reading your previous discussion and I realize that I should have checked this page out before I did. I created it with the name of all singles but decided to remove the names of the songs without WP articles when I read your answer above, thus avoiding issue 1 as listed

organized: It forces certain links ("Man Overboard", "I Won't Be Home for Christmas", "Not Now") to be divorced from the rest of the band's singles and placed into a weird "other songs" section, when in fact they are singles and should be grouped with the band's other singles (thus the navbox

assume what readers might be looking for. A reader navigating their way through a list of the band's singles is just as likely to be interested in the non-album singles as the album ones (as a music fan, I sure would be). This template is for navigation, not notability.

the links in it are "very relevant to the subject at hand", or they wouldn't be in it. The OTHERSTUFF argument doesn't hold up because Blink-182 have a very simple discography, as do most musical artists. They are the norm, not the exception. It's not like they're

The "less complex" version is cleaner, less cluttered, groups articles of like types (studio albums, singles) together instead of unnecessarily separating them into multiple lines/sections, and mirrors the format used for many of our Featured Article topics (see

Because this is a navigation template. If there is no article there is no need for its inclusion. The purpose is to simply ease navigation between related pages. Complete chronologies should be detailed in discography sections, but not the navigation box.

What do you think about this idea? I was going to do it, but it seems like a big change since it makes the template kind of long. Opinions? Disagreements? If no one opposes, then I'll do it, but if they do, then that's fine, too. ---

Separating the albums/singles into multiple sub-sections makes the template unnecessarily long and with a lot of unused horizontal space. Again, since this is a navigation template and not a discography, there is no reason for
