Hello all. I'd like to propose something that I have been wanting to propose for a long time. That is, the deletion of those awful, horrendous navboxes that plague so many articles on this wiki.

Firstly, the game navboxes are completely contradictory to the in-universe approach we take on most articles. They're a HUB of OOU information, and I don't think there are many people who actively use them at all. Secondly, all those different colors on the slightly transparent dark blue background make my eyes sore. And thirdly, the placement of the titles is always off in some way, and with Wikia updating its code so many times, the navboxes are often irregulary far apart from one another, making it even uglier.

I would like to see is the deletion of any and all navboxes. Navigation can and I think already is mostly done via categories, I do not see that as a reason for keeping them. Alternatively, I am okay with making and keeping some in-universe navboxes like we have for Pieces of Eden (*shivers*), though we can make them for Assassins and Templars as well, with the most prominent Assassins and Templars in them. This way an article will have one navbox at most, and most will have none at all. If we take this route, I would like to see the navboxes revamped and most importantly have a color that fits with the background.

Let the voting commence. -- Master Sima Yi _Talk 20:10, October 26, 2013 (UTC)
