As the creator of the nav box it might help to explain my motivation behind this. I am an ethologist and also a photographer. It seemed to me that many articles on ethology did not have a suitable identifying lead image. (Many probably could NOT have a suitable one due to photographic constraints.)
630:
Er, I made the change already, and went through all the articles moving the bar to the bottom. Actually I found several articles in the template that had no navbox, so they now have an unobtrusive bar instead, presumably, of a deleted sidebox.

So, I created the montage of images to add to articles on ethology to show they were part of a series. The navigation aspect was secondary. I am now seeing ethology-related articles popping up with the nav box collapsed but at the top of the article.__

It seems like a bunch of articles should be added to this template, although it is unclear what is appropriate. As many of you probably know, the partition of branches in biology is rather transparent. For example, I feel

Some time has gone by, and the rationale for this seems no less cogent, indeed sideboxes are now a rarity and navboxes the effective standard, so perhaps the time has come to boldly go, etc.

It will not have escaped people's attention that the great majority of navigation boxes are now sober bars at the ends of articles, not sideboxes. In the case of this one, the
